Now I can get a nine-twenty-two ® compliant follower for my SBS, that resembles the stock one:

Do you know for certain that you need one? I was under the impression that if you had a registered item like an SBS that 922r didn't apply. I certainly could be mistaken about that.

A lot of people are under that impression, but I've yet to see any evidence that this is the case. As far as I know, an NFA firearm is still subject to import compliance laws ... Supposing it matters. Nobody has proven this issue one way or the other. BAFTE probably doesn't know.

My view is that 922 pertains to the sporting definition of imports. NFA items have never fallen under the sporting purpose category, so I wish I could believe 922 does not apply. Until I know for sure, I play it safe.

The factory Benelli M4 SBS sold in the U.S. does not comply with 922®. And BATFE has approved them for sale here in the U.S. as NFA weapons in both collapsible and fixed stock models.

Best answer period. Indicates NFA = 922® exempt.

922r does not apply to NFA firearms, period. Read the actual text of 922r and you'll see why.

 

The GCA of 1968 creates three categories of imported firearms: Military Surplus firearms, NFA firearms and firearms "suitable of readily adaptable to sporting purpose."

 

922r text defines it's applicability very clearly, specifying only firearms "suitable or readily adaptable to sporting purpose." NFA is not mentioned in 922r and would have to be in order for this law to apply here.

I was pretty sure that was the case. Thanks for chiming in.
