Description
The Benelli M4 is a serious shotgun, but the factory forend leaves you with nowhere to hang a light or grip. The Mesa Tactical Truckee fixes that. It's a direct-replacement forend machined from a single piece of 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum, with a matte black finish that matches the M4's all-business look. At 11 inches, it gives you a good stretch of real estate for accessories while keeping the front end lean and easy to handle.
What the Truckee Forend Brings to Your M4
The whole point here is modularity. You get industry-standard M-LOK slots along both sides and the bottom, which means you can bolt on weapon lights, vertical grips, slings, or Picatinny rail sections without hunting down proprietary parts. M-LOK is the accessory standard for a reason, and the aftermarket support behind it is enormous. High-temperature glass-filled nylon polymer end caps handle the heat and take the abuse, so the forend holds up when things get hot from a long string of shells.
Installing the 11-inch Truckee Forend
Here's the one thing to know before you order: the 11-inch version requires removing the Benelli M4's factory front sling loop, which calls for a set of snap ring pliers. It's not a hard job, just something to have on hand. Once it's on, the forend stays put on the barrel when you strip the gun for cleaning, and it comes off just as easily if you need to get into the gas system at the bench or out in the field. No tiny screws to lose in the process.
Mesa Tactical builds this in the USA and backs it with a lifetime warranty, which tells you they stand behind the machining. If you're running your M4 for home defense, 3-gun, or just want a cleaner setup with your gear right where you want it, the Truckee is one of the cleaner upgrades you can make to the front of the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 11-inch Truckee forend require any modifications to my Benelli M4?
Yes, the 11-inch version requires removing the factory front sling loop from the M4. You'll need a set of snap ring pliers to get it off. It's a straightforward job that most owners can handle at home, and no other permanent changes are needed.
What accessories can I mount on the Truckee forend?
The forend uses industry-standard M-LOK slots on both sides and the bottom, so you can attach weapon lights, vertical grips, slings, and Picatinny rail sections. Because M-LOK is the current accessory standard, the aftermarket options are nearly endless. Just match your accessory to an M-LOK-compatible mount and you're set.
Do I have to take the forend off every time I clean my M4?
No. The Truckee stays on the barrel when you strip the shotgun for routine cleaning, so it stays out of your way during normal maintenance. If you need to access the gas system, it comes off easily at the bench or in the field with no tools required.
What is the Truckee forend made from and how durable is it?
It's machined from a single piece of 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum, which keeps it light while staying rugged. The end caps are high-temperature glass-filled nylon polymer to handle heat and hard use. Mesa Tactical makes it in the USA and backs it with a lifetime warranty.
