![]() Despite what the conflicting ATF letters floating around here say, that's a strong legal argument that 922r does not apply to ANY M1 as it pertains to magazine capacity. 922r does not apply to Benellis going back all the way to 1990. Benelli M1s are a bit gray because they were imported with 7-round mag tubes until the 1994 when the AWB restricted mag capacity in semi-auto shotguns to 5 rounds. 922r simply prohibits the reassembly of an imported rifle or shotgun into an unimportable configuration. 922r was enacted in and only pertains to guns imported after Nov 1990,not 1989.īut remember too that 922r and Benellis having 5-round mag tubes are not the same thing. I stress that (1) this is not a concrete or binding conclusion, rather one man's 'educated guess' and (2) this would be with a US-MADE extension, not a factory Benelli, and (3) again, IANAL. (And actually, IIRC, the older guns were imported in bunches, without large consectutive serno blocks) However, on the subject of mag extensions on post-89 guns - IANAL, but recently posted BATFE letters tend towards the position that later M1s and M2s are fully 922(r) compliant with a US-made extension and follower the parts count seems to end up at exactly 10, the magic number. Unfortunately, I do not know the Benelli serno ranges on the M1. ![]()
