I know this is slightly off-topic for a site like this, but I figured I might be able to get a straight answer from one of you guys, as most of us own more than just pistols.
I'm in the process of purchasing a Benelli M1 12 gauge for my father. He's dead set on wanting a factory pistol grip and extended magazine tube. He was told that the only way to legally own such a combination would be to purchase a "pre-ban" M1.
The one that I've located has a build date of July 1994. The current owner states that the pistol grip and extended magazine tube are factory options, and he's listing it as a pre-ban firearm.
Questions:
* Do I need to be shopping specifically for a pre-ban M1 to be legal?
* Is the pistol grip+ extended magazine tube a legal combination?
* Is anyone able to verify that a July '94 build is infact pre-ban? (The girl that answered the phone at Benelli was not sure exactly when the ban began)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
