The Benelli M3 has or may have the parts in red. That "semi-automatic assault weapon" can be assembled from no more than 10 imported parts of the 20 parts on this list. (4) An ability to accept a detachable magazine.

(3) A fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds, and

(2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, Once my gun fits this description, it's no longer "suitable for sporting purposes" since it has now become a "semi-automatic assault weapon"ĭ) A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of. Skipping over a bunch more shit I come to the definition of a "semi-automatic assault weapon". WE want to take our SHOTGUNS (not receivers) apart and then ASSEMBLE it with different parts. Notice how the law says "person".this means ME or YOU. "It shall be unlawful for any person to assemble from imported parts any semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun which is identical to any rifle or shotgun prohibited from importation under section 925(d)(3) of this chapter as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes" My personal interpretation of 922r goes like this. I've chosen to cover my ass with caution instead of playing stupid here. I know there's are law quotes that are missing here, these are simply the parts that I use to judge legality and insure MY freedom. I'm not a lawyer, I don't COMPLETELY understand this law, but I have educated myself the best I can. It does however show that a gun guy like us and a BATFE law enforcement officer recognize this as the way the law works and take it seriously enough to clarify things for legal reasons. I know it doesn't apply directly to the Benelli M3 shotgun. The exchange is between the moderator of the board and the then Cheif of the BATFE Firearms Technology Branch. This is a link to an interesting exchange on. The only place I have ever seen this discussion is in a case like Benelli shotguns where 922r compliance parts aren't available. The AK guys and the SKS guys choose to comply, Tapco has made plenty of money on compliance parts and Tromix installs the parts in it's conversion guns. I personally don't think a tacticool gun is worth violating federal gun laws. There isn't really as much confusion about it as there are people that just don't want to comply, and people willing to spread bad information.
M3 NOVA STOCK CONVERSION FULL
You know as well as I do that you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.īy the letter of the law, adding a pistol grip and magazine extension to make a capacity of more than 5 rounds is unlawful. However, If the gun is ever used to kill a person, or you're shooting next to a BATFE officer, things might end up being different. I've never heard of anyone getting busted for it. If the gun only goes to a range, and you NEVER run across a knowledgeable law enforcement officer, then you will most likely be just fine.


All the best options for this seem to be imported guns. My interest in this is a semi-auto folder. Unless you can PROVE to me that the were legally imported in this configuration I consider them ALL in violation. There are plenty of M3 folders available. "don't worry about it".or "I seen one so it's legal". The above replies seem to be a pretty typical response.
