Key Features
- Self-regulating gas piston system – WHY IT MATTERS: It automatically adjusts gas pressure to cycle light target loads, heavy magnums, and everything in between without manual tuning, so you grab one shotgun for clays, deer, or defense.
- Turkish walnut stock and forend – WHY IT MATTERS: The oil-finished wood gives you a warm, non-slip grip in cold weather and a classic look that stands out from black synthetic guns, plus it absorbs recoil better than plastic.
- Picatinny receiver rail with ghost-ring sights – WHY IT MATTERS: The rail lets you mount a red dot or scope in seconds, while the factory adjustable ghost-ring rear and white-dot front give you fast, precise sight alignment right out of the box.
- 18.5-inch barrel with three choke tubes – WHY IT MATTERS: The short barrel keeps the gun maneuverable in tight spaces, and the included cylinder, improved cylinder, and modified chokes let you switch from buckshot patterns to turkey loads without buying extra hardware.
Who It’s For

FAQ
Does the MAC 1014 cycle low-brass target loads?
Yes—the self-regulating gas piston adjusts to light 2.75-inch target loads as well as heavy 3-inch magnums. Expect reliable cycling with 1,200+ fps loads right out of the box.
What choke tubes are included?
The shotgun ships with three Benelli/Mobil-pattern chokes: cylinder, improved cylinder, and modified. They are steel-shot rated per the manufacturer.
Can I mount a red dot on the MAC 1014?
Yes. The receiver comes with a factory-installed Picatinny rail, so you can attach most red dots or low-profile scopes without an adapter.
Is the wood stock durable for heavy use?
The Turkish walnut is oil-finished and reinforced at the wrist. It holds up well under moderate use, but like any wood stock, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and use a light coat of oil annually.
