Benelli M4 is illegal right?

[gose]

thanks for all the info guys! so since a place like ImpactGuns is WITHIN the USA i can order a Benelli M4 with the pistol grip on, right? and if the pistol grip is allowed, a 7 round extension tube can be added too right?

Sure, if Impactguns manufacture the Benellis themselves. I somehow believe that they do import the Benellis they sell though, which means you're SOL unless YOU buy replacement parts to get the parts count down to 10.

It dosent matter where you get it from, it matters where the gun or parts of it are made.

I gots ya

i get it now. and whats the 10 parts thing about? more info please!

check my post on page 2 for some more information on the subject, there is a list of parts that are used to define a 'gun'. To not be 'imported' the gun must have no more than 10 of those parts be imported manufacture.
The benelli has 13 parts, because of this, you must replace 3 of those parts with domestic manufacture replacements. For instance if you replaced the forend, the magazine (NOT an extension, but a full tube), and the plastic follower (what pushes against the shells in the magazine, then you would be legal (as long as the federal DOJ doesn't change the list again).

is there a link to a domestically made forend, follower, and magazine? And what would take the place of the plastic follower?

US code 18 was signed into law by George Bush the first in 1989 if memory serves.

It actually took effect 11/30/1991. Anything imported prior to that is OK. Anything after that must follow 922(r) restrictions.

Not sure if there is anyone who makes only the follower but there are some manufacturers who are making extension kits that include domestic followers although $80-100 seems steep to get just a follower. Please remember that just the magazine extension alone is not the same as a full magazine and would require another part to be replaced.

This is a link to a company that sells an extension and follower. As stated a bit steep but if there are no other options it may be ok to stay legal.

As for full length tubes He is also talking about making gas pistons but hasn't done it yet (if that were the case, then you would have one less part to get, and would not need to get a forend)

The forend
(not available yet but coming from Mesa Tactical).

got it (memory not as good as I though then)

AFAIK there is a guy making mag tubes, I've seen US made followers and I think surefire makes a forearm, so it should be possible to build a compliant M4.

Sorry, but don't have the links, google can probably help you.

[Rugerman]

whats the reason for changing the stock forend anyway?

[cseabass]

what about the collapsable stock?

i just got one with both both the pistol grip fullstock and the collapseable.

i have seen a quite a few with the collapsable stock at the range and i was wondering if its legal.(or are they pinned?)

Shotguns
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.

So, pistolgrip + folding or telescoping stock on a shotgun == assault weapon

im aware of the laws, what i mean is, are people pinning them?

Then you know the answer

Either they're pinning or committing a felony.

now, last question regarding the stock... cuz i have one(not attatched) would it be considered intent to construct even tho i wont install it. (it came with the gun, i am hoping to move out of state to NV in the next year, so i dont want to get rid of it)
