elits1 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Any help / insight would be greatly appriciated. I was interested in converting my M3 into a NFA short barreled shotgun by professionally cuting the 19.75" factory barrel down to 14". I have searched all over the internet looking for pictures or forums explaining the process and I have only come up with airsoft conversions. My first question, is this legal if all of the ATF form 1 NFA steps are followed? My second question, will this adversly effect the function of the gun? Third question, recomendations on a good gunsmith that can cut the barrel and move the front ghost sight from its original location to the 14" barrel. Thanks in advance for your help.

KB Fab Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Here is a thread that explains the NFA process. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=80131 Here's who I would trust to do the barrel. They do a lot of Benelli SBS barrel work. http://www.kingarmory.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elits1 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 KB Fab, Thank you for the information. I am familiar with the NFA process but was unsure if the imports are more complicated than the domestic guns. I want to be sure the Benelli meets all BATFE compliances. I wonder this because of how scarce / seemingly non-existant the M3 SBS is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will know what you need to do. I'm working on a Benelli M4 SBS right now and as far as I know, we haven't run into anything yet regarding the fact that it is imported.
