The MAC 1014 shotgun is based on the iconic firearm that has served troops around the globe for over two decades being synonymous with the GWOT and prized by the troops who carried them. MAC is proud to offer this proven self-regulating piston design shotgun, renowned for its effectiveness, ease of maintenance and unrivaled reliability with a wide range of loads.
All MAC 1014 shotguns come from the factory with a preinstalled picatinny style rail with a ghost ring rear sight that is windage/elevation adjustable, and adjustable front post with contrasting white dot that is also adjustable for windage. The 18.5” barrel features the Benelli/Mobil pattern choke tube system for consistent patterns that can be tuned to any shot type load. Models are available with many finish options and furniture configurations to suit any role.
MAC 1014 shotguns are designed to be compatible with most aftermarket parts, furniture, and accessories for other Benelli® M-1014/M4 variant shotguns.
The shotgun performed well at the range. No failures when running through a full box of shells. Recoil felt somewhat less than my other 12-gauge shotguns, which are pump-action. Now for the not-so-good. The flat black finish looked nice but does not look good on my hands. The finish literally rubbed off onto my hands right out of the box. At first, I assumed it was factory grit and grime. However, it never stopped rubbing off, and that was just me handling the barrel and mag tube. The finish started to completely rub off down to bare metal after taking the barrel off two or three times. It was horrible. Also, the wood handguard required attention in order to fit back onto the gun. There's more, such as don’t believe the barrel assembly diagram in the owner’s manual. After attempting to contact MAC customer service several times, I eventually learned with my fourth request that certain parts in the diagram aren’t actually used.
