Prohib'd M1 & M3 Super 90... solved

[G37]

Just curious, because the M4 isn't prohibited?

I have an M2 with a 28" barrel and would like a 18.5" barrel... will I be making a prohibited by doing so?

let's not paint the devil on the wall eh..

the M1 and M3 use the same inertia (spring) recoil system..the M4 uses a gas port recoil system...different guns...and the M4 meets the current requirements of a non-restricted gun.

FYI, the Beretta 1201P is "very similar" to the M1...it is not a prohib either.

Neither are the M1 Super 90 Field and M1 Super 90 Sporting Special.

I got the low down...

Apparently it was a screw up of mega proportions back when they were deciding what to prohib and what not to prohib.

The only registered Benelli's at the time of course were "Evil" 14-inch, collapsable stock - M1/M3 Super 90's. Naturally "All Benelli's must become prohibited." :roll:

The law makers then realized after-the-fact that thousands of hunting variants existed that were not "evil" - so came the exemptions list for the Benelli line which can be found on the CFC website.

The M4 is totally fine as it meets all the non-restricted requirements (as it should).

Cheers!

I know, damn evil guns.... not like these two M1S90 Field guns...
Who says our gun laws are stupid? :roll:

I own a Benelli M1 Sporting Special with a non restricted barrel length with the pistol grip stock.

Pretty much the identical shotgun shown above.

Great shotgun, best I have owned...

Probably never sell it to be honest... i recommend it to anyone.

All Benelli's use the same recoil operating system, except the M-4. It doesn't matter if it is the M1, M2, Super Black Eagle. You could take the bolt out and put it into any receiver.
