Totti Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hi guys, Is anyone interested in selling me a pistol grip stock? Chasing for a black M4. I can't order off Benelli as they won't ship to Australia. Best regards, Stefano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totti Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 lol... Too many people must think I want them to ship to Nigeria. If this doesn't work out I'll just ship to a freight forwarder.. Was just seeing if anyone wanted to make a quick $50 cause they're $500 to buy in Australia -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This may be a part that is subject to ITAR (Internation Traffic in Arms Regulations) that would prohibit someone from sending it to a foreign country from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) AFAIK Pistol grips are fine to import. (According to my friends on AUS Shooting forums). Folding/Collapsibles are a no-no. Edited December 3, 2011 by Totti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Just took a peek at the ITAR. "Combat shotguns" are considered "significant military equipment" and are prohibited from being shipped overseas from the US (without jumping through all the necessary hoops with the State Department). Also prohibited for shipment are "components, parts, accessories and attachments" to the listed equipment. I'm no expert in International Law but I think a Benelli M4 probably fits the definition of a "combat shotgun". Someone else might want to ship you a pistol grip stock from here in the states but not me. They might be OK to IMPORT into AUS but I don't think it's OK to EXPORT from US.

So you think LAX would ream me if I tried to sneak one out in my luggage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've always preferred the standard shotgun stock myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've always preferred the standard shotgun stock myself. Wow that's interesting, why? I've never shot with a pistol grip shotgun personally myself. Bearing in mind lads, I plan on doing the Surefire M80 + Magpul AFG mod almost straight away. Do you place a higher emphasis on rear grip or fore grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Bought one locally today - All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jisco Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Good for you!! I'm glad you finally found one. On the other hand I probably never will get any help from anyone since I'm looking for a PG stock for my weatherby SA-08, 20 gauge. I own an older benelli but since having trouble with recoil, due to a broken back from years ago I know from experience that PG stocks aren't as painful. I realize that a 20 gauge is less recoil but this weatherby is very light and 3 inch shells can be hard on me. I like the light weight and would like to tame the recoil using a new stock rather than more weight. jisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
