Despite the constant evolution of ever-more-modern weapons systems the 12-gauge combat shotgun remains a favorite of infantry and special forces units around the world, particularly valued for its effectiveness in close-quarters battle. Since 1999 the United States Marine Corps has employed the semi-automatic Benelli M1014 (also known as the M4 Super 90) as its shotgun of choice. This durable and reliable weapon enables the Marine to deliver a devastatingly high rate of accurate fire, and replaces various pump-action predecesors. Produced by the Marine Corps and written from hands-on experience in the field, this technical manual provides the operator and armorer with all the information and education required to keep this remarkable firearm in peak working order for the foreseeable future. 106 PAGES, 104 ILLUSTRATIONS - COVERING: Safety - Corrosion Prevention & Control - Equipment Description - Ammunition - Funtional Description - Field Stripping - Inspection - Cleaning & Lubrication - Storage & Shipping - Scheduled & Preventative Maintenance - Troubleshooting - Corrective Maintenance - Complete Disassembly & Assembly - Repair Parts & Special Tools Search for 'CARLILE MILITARY LIBRARY' to find more TOP-FLIGHT, SQUARED-AWAY publications for your professional bookshelf!
