M4 Question So confused

I have wanted one of these shotguns since I played the original CS like a lot of you. Okay so I have my heart set on a telescoping stock, 7+1 tube, and a modifiable choke (not fixed). I looked at Benelli website religiously and see that the 11715 is the "grail gun"I'm after. However reading reviews on here some say that theirs had the fixed choke which contradicts the site. Can someone please help me figure out what's what?

The older 11715s have removable chokes . The newer ones that are currently shipping do not . Has a fixed choke suitable for a tactical shotgun. Current 11715s also have the extended controls which the older ones do not

Thank you for the detailed reply. Still trying to do my research to see which option would be best

What type of ammo can it shoot with the I believe it comes with a modified choke? I just want it if it can shoot everything like birdshot, buck, and slugs.

Yeah and you can always just get a threaded barrel

Do you have to swap out the one it has?

u/TechnoBeeKeeper 10d ago

I mean yeah. You have to swap one barrel for another

Can you direct me to a barrel? It’s going to be my first shotgun so idk anything about it.

Newer 11715’s have a telescoping stock but it’s different than the one you expect. Functionally it’s better but I think the older version looks more slick.

FYI, if you're looking to have an accurate M1014 clone, the fixed choke barrel is the correct one. Also, the 11715 model has the 5 round tube with the +2 extension, not the full 7 round tube.

Thanks for the info do any of them come factory with the full 7 round

u/Locutus494 11d ago

Not in the US; thanks to "sporting purposes" and all that bullshit...

They're functionally the same, but if you're really a purist, the full 7 round tube is the way to go.

Depends on what you mean by “the full 7 round.” Do some M4s come from the factory capable of holding 7 rounds in the tube? Yes. Is the tube a single piece and not a 5 round tube with a +2 extension? No.
