Description
The Benelli M4 is one of the best fighting shotguns ever built, but the factory forend leaves you short on real estate for lights and gear. Mesa Tactical's Truckee 15-inch forend fixes that in a big way. It's a full-length replacement that opens up mounting space across three sides so you can build the shotgun exactly the way you shoot it.
What Makes the Truckee Forend Different
The whole thing is machined from a single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum with high-temperature glass-filled nylon end caps at the ends. That single-billet approach is a big deal here, because there are no tiny set screws to work loose and disappear on you during a range day. The finish is a clean black that blends right into a tactical or field setup, and the profile stays slim enough that it doesn't feel like you strapped a brick to the handguard.
Running M-LOK on Your Benelli M4
The Truckee wears industry-standard M-LOK slots along both sides and the bottom, which is really the point of the upgrade. That gives you direct attachment for weapon lights, slings, vertical grips, and pressure switches, plus Picatinny rail sections if you'd rather run a section of rail for older accessories. The 15-inch length is the longest of the Benelli M4 Truckee options, so if you like your support hand way out front or you're stacking a light and a laser, this is the one that gives you the most room to work.
Installation and Fitment Notes
Unlike the shorter 8.5-inch model that drops on tool-free, the 15-inch Truckee requires removing the factory front sling loop, which takes a set of snap ring pliers. Worth knowing before you order: this 15-inch rail is not compatible with the Benelli M4 SBS version, and M4 LE editions with factory aluminum forends need three extra Benelli parts sourced from Benelli directly. For a standard M4, though, it's a straightforward bench job that leaves you with a rock-solid, no-wobble fit. Every Mesa Tactical piece is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 15-inch Truckee forend fit my Benelli M4 without modification?
For a standard Benelli M4, installation requires removing the factory front sling loop, which you'll need a set of snap ring pliers to do. It's a quick bench job rather than a tool-free swap like the shorter 8.5-inch version. Note that this 15-inch model is not compatible with the Benelli M4 SBS variant.
What accessories can I mount on the Truckee forend?
The M-LOK slots run along both sides and the bottom, so you can direct-mount weapon lights, slings, vertical grips, and pressure switches. You can also attach Picatinny rail sections through the M-LOK slots if you're running older accessories that need a rail. The 15-inch length gives you the most mounting real estate of the Benelli M4 Truckee lineup.
Is the Truckee forend durable enough for hard use?
It's machined from a single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum with high-temperature glass-filled nylon end caps, so there's no small hardware to shake loose. Users running it on both genuine M4s and MAC 1014 clones report a rock-solid fit with no movement. Mesa Tactical backs every product with a lifetime warranty.
Does the 15-inch Truckee work on Benelli M4 LE editions?
M4 LE editions equipped with factory aluminum forends ship without the barrel ring spring washer, so installing a Truckee on those guns requires three additional Benelli parts: the 136J spring ring, 134J washer, and 135J spring washer. Those aren't included and need to be sourced from Benelli directly. Standard M4 models don't need those extra pieces.
