If the law was that you just couldn't increase the import parts, it would make more sense; but this isn't the case. (Frankly, if 922r was to make any sense, it would have to be stricken from law altogether.) If you alter the firearm from its BAFTE-approved importable condition, it must have the total "countable" imported parts down to 10 or fewer. Reducing the parts count from 13 to 12 is still a violation of the law.
In the case of the collapsable stock, you would be at 14 parts since you upped the foreign count by 1 (the grip and the stock are separate pieces?).
Is it that you modified it? or is it counted by feature?

Okay. I'm confused. How would a US collapsible stock be in violation of 922r? Let's say you start off with a stock M4, you remove the standard pistol grip stock and replace it with the available Benelli collapsible stock. All you have to do is replace one part on the M4 with a US part, like the follower, because by adding that stock you're adding another foreign part because it's considered "2 pieces" by some law writing moron. Replacing the follower will put you back where you were. I was under the impression that it was the full capacity magazine that put you in an entirely different parts count bracket, not the stock.
Now, let's take that same stock M4 and replace the stock with a US made collapsible stock (if it existed). You should be good to go because your foreign parts count is actually one less than it was before the stock was changed and since you kept the neutered magazine tube you're still in the 13 foreign parts bracket. You now have 12 foreign parts. Is my understanding is wrong.
After a few here replied, I started to reseasrch more. I "THINK" the issue is that whenever you replace EITHER the magazine or the collapsable stock, you now have a shotgun that meets more than "one" of the evil features. In its original form, it only has a 5 round capacity, and a pistol grip (which is its only evil feature). When you increase the capacity OR change the buttstock, you now have 2 evil features. Once you are in that territory, you have at least 3 pieces to replace. Since the pistol grip and stock are 2 pieces, you need 4. There arent 4 pieces available currently to replace. If Im wrong someone let me know....

There just arent enough M4 owners. The AR platform has 10000000000000 collapsable stock options.

If I dont increase the mag capacity on an M4 but add the collapsable stock, am I in violation of 922®?

This may be a stupid question, but how do I tell if I have a 11707 or 11717? Also who makes the foregrip other than Surefire?

I see a ton of threads about original Benelli Collapsable buttstocks for the M4. Is there anyone who makes a US made pistol grip and collapsable buttstock for the M4 for 922® compliance? Also, as a newb here, Im a bit confused. I just got my M4 today. It has the standard pistol grip buttstock. Ive been reading this forum about 922 Compliance. Is it ok to change my standard pistol grip/buttstock to a collapsable unit? Thanks

For those of you who wrote a letter to the BATFE for 922R compliance, how long did it take for them to send you a reply?
