June 19, 2026: Benelli M4 70043 Recoil Tubes Are Becoming Harder to Find
In this June 19, 2026 Freedom Fighter Tactical inventory update, I discuss the growing demand and limited availability of the Benelli M4 70043 recoil tube assembly. This complete recoil tube comes preassembled with all internal components installed, eliminating one of the most frustrating Benelli M4 upgrades for owners attempting to transfer internal parts themselves. I explain compatibility with the 70085 skeletonized stock, differences between stock configurations, why the 70071 retaining ring causes so many headaches, and why these recoil tubes continue to sell out quickly among Benelli M4 enthusiasts building or upgrading their shotguns.
June 19, 2026 – The 70043 Recoil Tubes in Short Supply
One of the hottest items we have right now is the Benelli M4 70043 recoil tube assembly.
These things continue to move incredibly fast, and it's easy to understand why.
The 70043 is a complete recoil tube assembly with all of the internal components already installed. That means you don't have to disassemble an existing recoil tube, transfer the internals, and reassemble everything yourself.
And trust me, that's a job most people don't want to tackle.
The biggest culprit is the 70071 retaining ring.
Anyone who has worked on one of these knows exactly what I'm talking about. Removing that little ring can be extremely frustrating, and getting it back into place isn't exactly a relaxing afternoon project either. In fact, I would argue that removing it is even harder than reinstalling it.
For many Benelli M4 owners, the cost difference between transferring internals and purchasing a complete 70043 assembly is worth every penny simply because it saves time, aggravation, and potential frustration.
At Freedom Fighter Tactical, we manufacture our own recoil tubes, and we also carry OEM options depending on your needs and preferences.
It's important to understand compatibility before purchasing.
These three-position recoil tubes are designed to work with the Benelli 70085 skeletonized collapsible stock. They are not compatible with the European-style stock configurations.
If you purchased a one-position skeletonized stock from another source, that generally means you currently have a recoil tube without the additional adjustment notches. To take advantage of the collapsible stock functionality, you'll need the appropriate multi-position recoil tube.
Once you have the proper tube and stock combination, you're ready to go.
These recoil tubes are beautifully made, highly desirable, and continue to be one of our fastest-moving Benelli M4 upgrades.
We genuinely love these products, but keeping them in stock has become increasingly difficult because demand remains so strong.
The good news is that we have them available right now.
If upgrading your Benelli M4 with a proper collapsible stock setup has been on your to-do list, now may be the time to move before inventory becomes even more limited.
As always, thank you for your continued support of Freedom Fighter Tactical. If you have questions about recoil tubes, stock compatibility, 922(r) compliance, or building your Benelli M4, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help.
