Question, now I am confused. Benelli M4 and accessories.

[Hypergunner]

ATF exists to make our life miserable!

 

Anyways, I have a brand new M4. 11707 I believe...from Gander.

 

I want to add the Promag collapsable stock and NOT the handgrip. So I am ADDING 1 USA part.

 

What other parts must I change to be compliant if ANY. The stock is made in USA? I am confused because I am adding a USA part and I am seeing that I need 3 parts?

You need four Made in the USA parts IF you're going to install a full length magazine (which would account for one Made in the USA part) since the ProMag stock accounts for TWO Made in the USA parts (pistol grip and stock). If you're not going to install a FL tube then you can simply install a Made in the USA magazine follower.

I thought it was 3 U.S parts?

3 US parts if only a FL mag tube, 4 if a 'telescoping stock' is added.

[Hypergunner]

Thanks. So if I put a FL mag tube and tele stock, I would need to have 4 US made parts. So in all, I could have USA made 1. follower, 2. tele stock, 3. FL mag tube, and 4.hand guard and be compliant. RIGHT?

 

WAIT, does the US promag stock count for 2 US made parts since I get dinged for it twice?

The ProMag stock/PG counts as two parts. The 'collapsing/telescoping' stock is one evil feature and the (more than 5 round capacity) FL tube is another evil feature. The M4 comes from Benelli with one evil feature (other than being semi-auto), i.e. the PG.

Thanks Sukkoi so for post #5, is it correct in what I wrote and about to do?

If you used all the items you listed including the ProMag stock and ProMag handguards you'd have five US parts and you'd be gtg.

Right, since the butt stock and pistol grip count as two parts if you are using the c-stock, you would be able to use the OEM handguards if you like.

3 US parts if only a FL mag tube, 4 if a 'telescoping stock' is added.

 

Thanks for the info!

This "stuff" will give you a headache.

Sorry if this has been answered or obvious. If we took a factory new 11707 and swapped the pistol grip stock with a standard fixed synthetic (non-pistol grip) Benelli stock would we still have to replace three other parts with US made parts?

[frigatecon]

Only if you want to swap out the standard 5 round mag tube with a full length 7 rounder

No, you're not changing the total parts count with this swap. You are swapping out a 1-piece stock for another 1-piece stock so there is zero net change.
