Benelli M4 capacity

[TK-Hryciuk]

Hey guys so I just ordered a benelli M4 and I'm a little confused about its capacity. It has it listed at 4+1 yet when I inquired I was told it has 5+1. Can anybody help me out and tell me the capacity for both 2.75 and 3 inch shells? Thanks!

PS: can you still ghost load the new models or are they modified to prevent this now?

I can get 5 2 3/4" shells in the tube no problem. Ghost loading is not a problem either. I've never heard of any factory modifications to inhibit ghost loading.

They cut a notch on the bottom of the bolt on the M2 models I believe due to people ghost loading during hunting.

The standard tube holds 5 x 2.75 inch shells and 4 x 3 inch shells.

I know how to ghost load, I was merely asking of they modify the bolts on the M4s now to prevent it.

Only M2s have the "anti ghost load bolts carriers" all M4s can be ghost loaded

Amen.... my fellow gun nuts are the best.... Now there are 5+1+1 reasons why an armed intruder should not enter my home. (bow)

If you get a ext tube and block it to 5rds of 3" then it will hold 6rds of 2 3/4" legally

1+1+6rds "2 3/4"= 8rds

Are there restrictions when importing an extension from the US? I have contacted several sellers but none have responded to my inquiry.
