Agency Arms is synonymous with crafting firearms distinguished by their striking aesthetics, unwavering build quality, and meticulous refinement to bring a firearm to a new level. Over the years, the Agency has dedicated its expertise to enhancing Glock, Smith & Wesson, SIG pistols, and Benelli pattern shotguns. Now, in collaboration with Military Armament Corp, Agency Arms proudly presents the MAC 2 and MAC 4 Tradesman shotguns, offering complete, refined builds straight from their workshop.
Agency Arms MAC 2 Tradesman
Based on the Benelli M2 pattern shotgun, the MAC 2 Tradesman incorporates the Inertia-Drive system, a hallmark of M2 pattern firearms. Undergoing a comprehensive Agency Arms transformation from its stock configuration, the MAC 2 receives a host of enhancements. Internal components are DLC coated, the loading port is meticulously machined and beveled for seamless shell loading, and a machined bolt carrier ensures smooth operation. Additional upgrades include a precision trigger job, stippling of the stock, and an oversized domed safety. Notable Agency Arms exclusives comprise a refinished bolt carrier and extended carrier boasting a polished PVD finish, an octagonal charging handle and extension tube, extended bolt release, extended carrier, and M-Lok Handguard. With these enhancements, the MAC 2 Tradesman stands ready for competition, evoking the spirit of John Wick 2 in the catacombs of Rome.
Agency Arms MAC 4 Tradesman
Derived from the acclaimed Benelli M4 pattern shotgun, the MAC 4 Tradesman features the piston-driven Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (A.R.G.O.) system, renowned for its unparalleled reliability and ability to mitigate the harsh recoil of 12-gauge ammunition. Mirroring the upgrades of its MAC 2 counterpart, the MAC 4 receives DLC coated internal components, a meticulously machined loading port, and a precision trigger job. The MAC 4 also benefits from Agency’s exclusive enhancements, including the octagonal charging handle and tube extension, refinished bolt carrier group, and more. Designed from the ground up for competition or home defense, the MAC 4 offers versatility tailored to individual preferences and needs.
Imported from Turkey by SDS Imports, the MAC shotguns are Turkish clones of the Benelli M2 and M4 pattern shotguns. However, all aftermarket work and components are meticulously sourced in the U.S. by Agency Arms. The choice of the MAC M2 and M4 pattern guns reflects Agency’s commitment to delivering the finest available options on the market, ensuring meticulous attention to detail in both selection and assembly.
The Agency Arms MAC 2 and MAC 4 will be available in the second quarter of this year. With an MSRP of $999 for the MAC 2 and $1199 for the MAC 4, Agency Arms offers fully upgraded M2 and M4 pattern shotguns at nearly half the price of their Benelli counterparts. These offerings are poised to become top sellers for Agency, democratizing access to well-built shotguns for firearm enthusiasts everywhere.
