So a friend of mine has a Benelli M2 tactical, he has a factory +4 Benelli extension on it and it holds 9 rounds with one in the chamber, is it legal to sell in this configuration. He added the extension before the ban but is it still legal to own/sell or does he need to put it back to stock with the facotry +2?

since  is a post 89 ( Benellis are imported remember ) gun  you can have either a pistol grip or a big magazine tube you cannot have both ( this is why benelli quit bringing in extension tubes )

if it just has the big tube( and sporter type stock) it is fine

if it has the pistol grip  stock and the big tube  it is not

It's got a pistol grip stock and the big tube, is it legal to own or does he need to mod it?

Benelli sold them with ext tubes for years, not recently however.

It isnt the gun you are talking about specifically but it is the same law.

So his has a pistol grip and an extension, is it legal, or does he need to change to the regular/non pistol grip stock?

Can you put a domestically produced aftermarket stock on it?  I thought there was a difference as to where the parts were made, or am I confusing this with another stupid law?

He has to change it back.  Also he is missing the barrel clamps.  It obvious you have an extention because of that.  The factory ones will come with the clamps.  You can also buy the clamps.

You still dont have enough 922r parts.

If I am not mistaken, all M2s were made after the ban.  M1s are preban.  Some M1s are post.  But all M2s are post ban.  None are preban.

SpeedFeed does make a pistolgrip stock for it, looks just like the Benelli one but it's madein the US, wonder if that changes anything?

He wants to sell it so he can get a RRA Entry Tactical but wants to be sure that it's legal to sell/trade before he does anything.

Presumably, this is a "legal" shotgun:

www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976670998.htm

It's just about a Benelli.    ...Already has high-capacitio (no mag extension though) and a grippa sheeza pistola.  

Seller says the shotty is scarce.

Well since that's an imported shotty that obviously holds more than 5 rounds and has a pistol grip and the ATF isn't knocking on his door then I guess my friend could sell his?

it's possible he could have installed the correct number of domestically manufactured parts (although i'm not sure if they're even available for that shotgun).

keep in mind that you'll see a lot of stuff for sale that isn't legal.  922(r) is such a confusing law that most people who are selling guns don't understand it.  i have also yet to hear of anyone being prosecuted under it, because unlike the AWB or almost every other gun law, you can't tell if a gun is in violation of 922(r) just by looking at it or even by shooting it.   you would have to disassemble it and check where the parts were made.

A true preban ( pre 89 ) Benelli M1 Super 90 with the factory 4 shot extension & the factory pistol grip stock is LEGAL in that configuration correct ?

Correct. They all will be marked HK.  Not all HK marked M1s are preban however.  Those marked Benelli are post ban for sure.

Thanks ARDOC

I just bought it ( used obviously ) a few months ago. It's the old school Benelli M1 Super 90 / H&K import marked and has no choke tubes etc. I just wanted to be certain it was in a legal configuration. I would post what I paid for it .... but doubtful most would believe me ( it's in 99.9% condition w/ original box papers - manual etc )

If the AWB still controls what parts you can put on an imported shotgun--and that's a very big "if,"--18 USC 922(r) would only still only ban assembling it in a naughty configuration, not possessing ore selling one in a naughty configuration.

And I say that's a big "if" because what makes a shotgun non-importable under 18 USC 925 is that it's not "generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes."  If it fails to meet the "sporting purposes" test for importability under sec. 925, and if it has a bore over half an inch, it would be a weapon "other than a shotgun or a shotgun shell which the Attorney General finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes," which would make it a destructive device under 18 USC 921(a)(4)(B), and therefore regulated under the NFA.  

And if it has a bore over half an inch, it would be a destructive device whether imported or domestically produced, so adding compliance parts wouldn't make any difference.  If adding a magazine extension anda pistol grip (or any other two evil features) to a Benelli would make it non-sporting, it should have the same effect on any domestically produced shotgun.  But it doesn't.
