  1. I just want to clean it and maybe replace the spring. I'd like to look at the follower and retainer to see if I can get another 1/8" or so of space so the full-house Federal Buck will fit and feed (7 rds).

     

    I've seen the schematic that shows just one piece, not two. Thanks for letting me know there are others like this one.

  2. I purchased this "Police Trade-in" a little while back. It is an HK-marked Benelli M1S90, AZ date code, serial number M092XXX. The barrel measures 19 5/8" and does not have a removable choke. I assumed the 7 rd magazine was OEM, but now I'm not so sure. Here are the details:

     

    The tube holds 7 rds of Rem Long Range or Fed Low Recoil Buck, but not quite 7 rds of Federal 1325fps Buck. The latter fit, but so tightly that the carrier release won't release them. I took it apart to investigate further. I expected the mag tube to thread into the receiver, but it actually appears to thread into a short (~1") extension which is then threaded into the receiver. The long tube itself has threads in the middle for the barrel/handguard retainer and sling mount, and the muzzle end is open. Anyone know what I have? OEM or aftermarket?

    TIA for the help...

  3. and what precedence would you cite for this sentencing? Have a case in mind? Lets hear it!

     

    None whatsoever. A failed attempt at humor.

     

    In fact, I'm of the opinion that unless you are on the hook for a string of other more serious violations (i.e. taking a hack saw to your 870) it is highly unlikely that you would be pursued over 922r. It is a hard case to prove (is this umarked part made in the US or is it foreign?) and would not be worth the government's time. While I have zero experience with BATFE, I do have a little insight into how DOJ lawyers (those who prosecute the government's cases) think and operate.

     

    All this being said, I wouldn't want to be the one to test this theory. My flippant attempt at humor was more along the lines of "Maybe you don't want to be asking about a value for this apparently 922r non-compliant gun without explicitly stating its compliance parts." 922r questions come up here frequently, and on other boards for firearms which need to be concerned about such things (AKs, VZ58s, FALs, etc) this approach is widely followed.

     

    As far as scarcity, my local dealer had 2 on the shelf a couple of weeks ago. One black, one desert camo.

  4. Will heating the receiver be required for reinstallation of the new mag tube? I have removed the factory tube and am waiting for the arrival of the new one. I plan to use blue loctite on the new one.

     

    What do you think?

     

    No heat needed. Just add a drop of blue Loctite and thread it in.

  5. To someone behind enemy lines like New Hampshire, it can bring in some extra money. However, there are a lot of them out there so I think it is a non-factor.

     

    What is this supposed to mean? Are you confusing NH with Massachusetts, New York, etc? I just moved from CO to NH a year ago, and I can assure you NH is waayyy more open and free than Colorado, for example.
