7 shot tube on M4 and 922r compliant question

[Dccarper]

I am think about install a one piece 7 shot US made mag tube on my M4, but worried about 922r compliant.

 

I have been reading about this and seems teher are 2 answers, someone claims Benelli has already had enough US made parts on the M4 so as long the extended mag tube is US made, I am fine.

 

But others saying that I have to get other 5 more US made parts(mag follower, triggers, gas piston etc.) to make it 922r compliant, or I have to register it as a short barrel shotgun.

 

 

Please forgive me if you think I am paranoid or this question has been asked before, I have googled and read a lot about this but I am still confused about this.

 

I came from AK world so I think I am pretty clear about the rules of 922r when dealing with AK, but not so sure about Semi shotguns.

 

Thanks

Not trying to be a dick, but this topic has been beat to death and it's really not that hard to conduct a simple search that would yield you 47 different topics where this issue has been discussed at length over the years.

 

Search "922r"

ETA - I see you did do a bit of reading, so I almost feel bad ... but if a clear answer is what you're looking for, good luck finding one. The law seems to be intentionally written as a gray area full of part counts, sporting purpose clauses and special exceptions, number of evil features, etc.

 

I got sick of dealing with it, so I stopped worrying about a retarded law that is never enforced.

My advice is not to take legal advice off a forum.Ask your local ATF agent if you are really concerned.
