FFT 70054V High-Visibility Benelli M4 Follower: Bringing Back the Original Benelli Design
One of my favorite products I've ever developed at Freedom Fighter Tactical is the FFT 70054V High-Visibility Benelli M4 Follower. Inspired by the original Benelli factory follower that featured a distinctive red high-visibility insert, this U.S.-made 922(r) compliant follower brings back a feature that disappeared years ago. Available in both charcoal and NP3 finishes, the FFT 70054V offers smooth operation, excellent visibility during loading and unloading, and the classic appearance many longtime Benelli M4 owners remember. If you're building or upgrading a Benelli M4 shotgun, this is one of my favorite functional and cosmetic improvements.

One of the questions I'm asked fairly often is which product I've developed over the years is my personal favorite.
There are a lot of products I'm proud of, but one that always comes to mind is the Freedom Fighter Tactical 70054V High-Visibility Benelli M4 Follower.
Years ago, Benelli equipped the Benelli M4 with a follower that featured a red high-visibility insert. It was simple, easy to see, and one of those little details that gave the shotgun its own identity.
At some point, Benelli discontinued that design, most likely as a manufacturing or cost-saving decision.
I've always liked the original version.
So I decided to bring it back.
The FFT 70054V recreates the look and function of that original follower while giving Benelli M4 owners a U.S.-made 922(r) compliant replacement.
I offer it in both a charcoal finish and an NP3 finish, and both versions cycle smoothly through the magazine tube while providing excellent visibility during loading, unloading, and inspection.
When we first started developing this project, I expected it to be much more complicated than it turned out to be. Thanks to a great engineering team, we were able to recreate the design the way I envisioned it.
It's become one of my favorite products because it combines function, reliability, and a little bit of Benelli history.
My customers have responded the same way. Whenever these followers come back into stock, they tend to sell quickly.
If you're looking for a high-quality follower that combines classic styling with modern manufacturing and 922(r) compliance, I think you'll really enjoy the FFT 70054V.
