Benelli USA has introduced their legendary M4 tactical shotgun in a new corrosion resistant finish. Dubbed the M4 H2O this Benelli scattergun is treated with NP3. NP3 is an electroless nickel-based finish that according to Benelli is “extremely corrosion resistant, but also provides high lubricity and a low friction co-efficient” and who doesn’t like high lubricity. It’s not just the outside of the M4 H2O that gets protection from harsh environments, the entire bolt assembly, trigger group, magazine tube, follower and barrel are plated with sub-micron particles of Teflon with electroless nickel co-deposited into the nickel matrix. What all this scientific jargon means is the M4 H2O is designed with a rugged weather-proofing that will withstand all the elements. Like the standard M4 the M4 H2O includes a Picatinny rail, pistol-grip, adjustable ghost ring rear sight and adjustable (windage only) front sight. But the M4 H2O will include for the first time straight from the Benelli factory a telescoping stock and full-length magazine tube (7+1 capacity). Benelli will only be offering the M4 H2O for a limited time, so if you’re interested in one go to www.benelliusa.com to find your nearest dealer.
