Depends if you’re going to say you “replaced” that part… cuz that’s a modification, so no 

I see. So, if it was bought originally without a pistol grip, then you need to replace only any of the 3 imported parts, correct? 

Thanks.

I think that this is the most concise explanation (that I have seen) of what is required to stay in compliance for the M4 and other Benellis.

Are you in California by chance? I only ask because some of the wording that you used in your post is strikingly similar to the wording that is used in parts of the California AW laws as regards SA CF rifles.. 

922R is a whole other ball of wax not to be confused with any Ca. AW laws.

 

Below is a list of the import parts restricted by 922r as it applies to the Benelli M1/M2/M4 shotguns once you increase magazine capacity past the "sporting use" limit of 5 rounds. You are allowed a maximum of (10) of these parts to remain in compliance with 922r import restrictions. The factory M2 has only (12) of these parts, the factory M4 with fixed pistol grip stock has (13), and the factory M4 with the collapsible/separate butt stock & pistol grip has (14). 
BATFE has made it clear that the collapsible-capable stock, even if fixed as on the factory Limited Edition 1 of 2500 Benelli M1014, constitutes (2) separate 922r parts: a butt stock AND a pistol grip. 
Conversely, the fixed M1/M2/M4 pistol grip stock constitutes only one of these parts just as the NON-pistol grip M1/M2/M4 butt stock does. When you get the number of imported parts on this list down to (10), you are in compliance with 922r.

1 Receiver
2 Barrel
3 Bolt
4 Bolt Carrier
5 Gas Piston
6 Trigger Housing
7 Trigger
8 Hammer
9 Disconnector
10 Butt stocks
11 Forearm
12 Magazine body
13 Followers
14 Pistol grip  
 

So, if the M4 OEM stock/pistol grip combo is replaced with standard OEM stock, does that eliminate item 14 above and only 3 more parts need to be replaced with US made parts in order to limit to 10 imported parts? Thanks.
