This is frequently misinterpreted as a 922r effect when it was actually the AW ban. Under this true ban, M1s could have either a pistol grip or a 7-round capacity, but not both. ATF was somewhat loose with their opinions of "sporting purpose" during the early 1990s and consequently the M1 line was in fact imported and distributed with pistol grips and 7-round mag tubes from 1990 until 1994 when ATF tightened import regulations to comply with the Clinton AW Ban. It merely prohibits doing so if that configuration is not legal to import. The other aspect here is that 922r doesn't outright prohibit adding pistol grips, extended mags, etc. Anything marked BenelliUSA is decidedly post 922r. An HK import may be pre-922r, but it doesn't mean it's definitely pre-922r as HK imported the Benelli line well into the late 1990s. This would include nearly the entire M1 production run. It's certainly a law, but it doesn't ban anything.Īny rifle or shotgun imported after is subject to 922r. 922r is not a ban, so to refer to "pre-ban" and "post-ban" only confuses the issue.
