Rather than use up ALL the rear sight adjustment, it might be preferable to drift/adjust the front sight a bit. Remember to move the front sight in the opposite direction you want to move your POI (point of impact).
Better idea: invest in a good reflex sight and forget the iron sights.

When my M4 was new, the mag tube was literally impossible to unload using the shell stop. From use, it is now easy.
Just give it time, it WILL loosen up and become easy for you.

There's not a damn thing the Governor and/or State of NY can do about an individual selling and shipping a perfectly-legal-where-you-live pistol grip stock, magazine, etc to someone in their state. The responsibility lies entirely with the buyer.
That said, I probably wouldn't do it because I wouldn't want to feel any responsibility for someone else's possible arrest.

StrangerDanger: Personally, I think your M4 looks just about right now.

These days, I usually hire someone to shoot my 3" Magnum loads for me.

I believe that list may be dated. For instance, it's a well-known fact that currently UK forces, including the Royal Marines (like the US Marines), are using the M4, designation L128A1, and not the M2.
It's likely that list is of all organizations that use the M2 or have used it sometime in the past.

Ok. I got the answer on this. Apparently, there is an exception for short-barreled rifles. See below.
Does 922r apply to NFA items?It absolutely does, unless the only thing you are doing is shortening the barrel. The common misconception is, for example, you can make up your own SBR via Form 1 and use all imported parts. This is not true. You still have the burden, as the manufacturer/assembler, of complying with 922®, even for an NFA item. The so-called "NFA exception" addresses the specific instance of shortening the barrel on a lawfully imported weapon. The weapon would not be importable as an SBR. And ATF would then be in the awkward position of giving "permission" via an approved Form 1, to create a violation. So you can do a barrel chop on your HK94 that was brought in before all this gibberish commenced and be good. But you cannot "roll your own" using more than 10 imported parts. Confusing, ridiculous, and I have absolutely no clue what public safety issue is being served by keeping it.I can say that 922® does have *many* convictions... It just never has been the lead charge. And 922® is *only* a making offense, not a possession offense.[TABLE=class: cms_table, width: 300, align: left]

Learned something new today. Thanks for that.
Fortunately, all my changes have been made with US-made parts so I'm good though I had zero concern about it at the time of manufacture. BTW, the ATF made NO mention of 922r to me when they were providing me with their "guidance."
It makes me wonder if one hand of that outfit knows what the other is doing (or cares).
-
Yes, I've never heard of this either. But what if I add a collapsible/folding stock to a registered NFA shotgun? Does 922r come into play? Normally I don't think 922 is a big deal but I want to be extra careful when dealing with Title III weapons.
922r doesn't apply to NFA weapons.
-
LOL....well at least I'm south of New York State !!
Yeah, thank God for that!
-
Yeah, that sucks and dramatically demonstrates the futility of trying to control violence by banning or restricting inanimate objects.
I know you meant Federal law but some states do have bans.Where I live the state law is:
CT Assault Weapons Definitions regarding Shotguns (Date : 3/20/2011)
A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least two of the following:
(i) A folding or telescoping stock;
(ii) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
(iii) A fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds;
(iv) An ability to accept a detachable magazine
I think NY state is even worse but I dont know the wording for their current AWB.
-
So now I'm seeing this...I found another thread where a few people are saying the guns are only allowed one "evil feature." So that would mean collapsible stock, mag extension, pistol grip. Seeing as my gun has no pistol grip and just a standard stock it would lead me to believe it was ok to put the extension on. Thread in question:
The "one evil feature" has nothing to do with 922r or any other existing law or regulation. That is part of Feinstein's introduced "assault weapons" ban which may or may not go anywhere. It's not something I'd presently base any of my purchasing decisions on.

You are way north, Zeke! I live in southern Luzerne County.

Welcome aboard!
You made a nice choice! Best of luck with it!

Nice job! I like your setup.

^^^Sage advice^^^

Aye, aye, sir!
Thanks!

I forgot to mention that another major component of Benelli's strategy to satisfy the 922r requirement was having to weapon NP3 coated here in the US. However, as I stated earlier, the ATF put the kibosh to the plan.
-
The H2O has been discontinued by Benelli and it has NOTHING to do with any pending legislation. The decision to end production came before any of the present craziness. The cause of death of the H2O was that Benelli tried to accomplish a work-around of the 922r regulations by shipping the parts for the guns here and assembling them in the US, but the ATF rejected the plan.
-
I prefer Surefire rail covers - I use them on all my rifles
Ditto. They're my choice also.
-
Why should we care?
As long as we could find a single military unit and/or police organization on two or more continents (the world over) having at least one M2 in their arsenal, the Benelli statement above would be true.
True or not, the statement isn't worth much.
-
You would have to be dishonest about the origin of the stock to have it repaired or replaced under warranty.
"A new Benelli firearm is warranted only to the original retail purchaser for ten years from date of purchase. This warranty applies only if the firearm was purchased from an authorized Benelli dealer in the United States or Canada.
Benelli will, at its option, repair or replace, without charge, any Benelli firearm that fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. Parts and labor are included. Repairs are warranted for the duration of the original warranty. If Benelli replaces a firearm under this warranty, you will receive a new ten-year warranty. Benelli will return replacement firearms to you freight prepaid."
