Actually I was just as my local benelli dealer and he said that is how they will get around the 922r. Pretty much by making them like a regular M4. He also said for the guys that got the original H2O (he sold two of them of the 108 or so that made it to market) to maintain their documentation that it is indeed an original H2O. That way law enforcement/ATF will know it's an original legal H2O not version 2.0 that will possibly come out. The reason being from what his sources say within benelli that they will have an H2O model like the current M4 coming out soon. But without the extended mag or collapsible stock. What a mess I can see it now if they mass release a new H2o that guys who have the original benelli might get harassed by LE at a range. There is big govt for you !
