Just ordered an M4 H2O

I'm new to the forum and just ordered my first Benelli. An M4 H2O. I've been told it will take 3-4 months before I see it. Anyone have any information on when there will be some? :confused:

When I checked with a few dealers in PA about a month ago, I was told "by the end of the year" so, I chose a standard M4.

I think I'm going to order mine as well. I don't mind the wait as long as I don't have to pay for it all up front. It's actually better because I get to build up a little savings.

I don't understand why it would take until the end if the year. The production shouldn't be that different than the standard M4 other than coating and it sounds like there are some that have already come into the country. Does anyone from Benelli monitor this forum? Maybe they could find out.... I guess I'll wait. I just want to make sure I'm ready before Iran invades.

I heard from Benelli USA that back in January they were just fulfilling M4 orders placed in June. That's 7 months for a standard M4, and supposedly the H2O model is limited production. I honestly don't know what the wait would be, but end of the year doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.

The dealer I spoke with told me the work on these guns is done here.

:( I've never owned a Benelli, or shot one, or even held one. I think the M4 is a cool gun, but my first impression of the company isn't as high as I thought it would be. Why do they keep everyone in the dark? If it's the end of the year, I'll wait. I'd just like to know. Sound like everyone's guessing and going off of hear say.....???..... Oh well, no big deal. :confused:

I find this thread interesting, I too have one on order, I alerted my local Benelli enabler a few days before SHOT about this model and they were attending SHOT so they said they would follow-up. They ended up ordering six units at SHOT with Benelli and I am first on their list when they come in. The H2O model was formally released the first day of SHOT so I imagine that is when Benelli first started taking orders for this model. I do know that some have already been produced and in the hands of people here on this forum and on Gun Broker.

My dealer has given me no official time line other than to say that when they receive them I'll be the first in line and that they would speculate it would be 3-4 months from when they ordered but purely a guess.

I emailed Benelli Customer Service last week...........no reply. :mad:

where can i order one at?

i've been wanting an M4 for the longest time but when i saw the H2O i fell in love so i must have this one.

thanks
