Benelli M4 Parts Status, 70132 QD Install Recap & Travis Pike’s AmmoLand 922(r) Build
In this update I break down current Benelli M4/M1014 parts availability—including titanium & steel 7-round magazine tubes, recoil tubes, collapsible stocks (70085 & FFT-70085F), and oversize bolt release buttons—so you can plan your build before supply tightens. I also recap my QD sling mount install for the 70132 T-Pro stock (Benelli 80199 cup) and highlight Travis Pike’s AmmoLand article on the M4, where he details a practical 922(r)-compliant build using Freedom Fighter Tactical components.

Today is Monday, September 29, and it’s time for the latest Freedom Fighter Tactical status and inventory update. We’re wrapping up September 2025, and you’ve kept me busy—three videos a week and boxes going out daily. Thank you for being part of the Freedom Fighter Tactical family. If you need help, text or call the number on my website; I’m available year-round. If I miss you, leave a message and I’ll return the call, usually the same day.
Last week I showed how to install a QD sling mount on the Benelli 70132 T-Pro collapsible stock using the 80199 cup. You can watch that on YouTube, Instagram, or on the blog. The short version: have an 11 mm end mill, patience, and the correct cup/attachment, and you’ll be set.
Inventory highlights: we’re running low on oversize bolt release buttons, steel and titanium 7-round mag tubes, recoil tubes, and collapsible stocks (both Benelli OEM 70085 and FFT-70085F). OEM has the next batch slated for next year, so if a part is on your shortlist, grab it before supply tightens. The best way to avoid delays is to chip away at your build consistently.
I also found a June 2025 AmmoLand article by Travis Pike titled “The Benelli M4: The Marines’ Fighting Shotgun.” It’s a quick overview of the platform with a practical build that uses Freedom Fighter Tactical parts for 922(r) compliance—such as our 7-round mag tube—and a Mesa Tactical fore-end for accessory mounting. He notes the factory bolt release is small (I have the fix), and he shares range notes, including a light load that didn’t cycle—common with certain shells on any M4. Overall, it’s a solid snapshot for new and seasoned owners.
On 922(r): I provide resources so you can make an informed decision. It’s straightforward to address while you’re upgrading parts you plan to install anyway. If you have questions, reach out and I’ll point you to the info.
I’m traveling briefly this week, so shipping may shift slightly toward the weekend, but I still strive for fast turnarounds. Thanks again to first responders and service members for what you do. Be safe, and I’ll see you in the next video.
