Hehe, when it comes down to it, I still prefer my Remington 870.

You are correct sir.
sweet I don't have to worry about my winchester.
is it just me or is this a dumb relatively unknown law

Dumb law indeed. I still love those Benelli M4s though. They are like 1911s. Once you got hooked, there is no turning back. Hehe.

Depends on when your M1Super90 was made. If it's pre-922r (1989 and before) then yes it's legal. If it's after 1989, then it is illegal. Per 922r, you can have either a hi-cap mag tube or pistol grip stock, but not both. Then again, you see quite a few 3 gunners out there using M1S90s that have both these mods.

You will get difference answers from different individuals. Even BATFE agents can be wrong. You can mod the M4 with sufficient amount of US made parts, and still get in trouble for it. The burden of proof is still on your end. The chances of that is pretty rare imo. Your can also register your M4 as a AOW/SBS (not sure which one), then you can mod it with the collapsable stock, full length mag tub, or maybe even a 14" barrel.

Taken from another forum. The 922r is the one you have to worry about. The AWB of 1994 is 922v and it is no longer valid.

922 (r)
The Imported Parts Law(1990)
178.39 otherwise known as 922(r) 10 Foreign parts law on semiauto Rifles & Shotguns
http://www.atf.treas.gov/regulations/27cfr178.html
Sec. 178.39 Assembly of semiautomatic rifles or shotguns.
(a) No person shall assemble a semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun using more than 10 of the imported parts listed in paragraph (c) of this section if the assembled firearm is prohibited from importation under section 925(d)(3) as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.
(b) The provisions of this section shall not apply to:
(1) The assembly of such rifle or shotgun for sale or distribution
by a licensed manufacturer to the United States or any department or agency thereof or to any State or any department, agency, or political subdivision thereof; or
(2) The assembly of such rifle or shotgun for the purposes of
testing or experimentation authorized by the Director under the
provisions of Sec. 178.151; or
(3) The repair of any rifle or shotgun which had been imported into or assembled in the United States prior to November 30, 1990, or the replacement of any part of such firearm.
(c) For purposes of this section, the term imported parts are:

(1) Frames, receivers, receiver castings, forgings or stampings
(2) Barrels
(3) Barrel extensions
(4) Mounting blocks (trunions)
(5) Muzzle attachments
(6) Bolts
(7) Bolt carriers
(8) Operating rods
(9) Gas pistons
(10) Trigger housings
(11) Triggers

(14) Disconnectors
(15) Buttstocks
(16) Pistol grips
(17) Forearms, handguards
(18) Magazine bodies

Last I read, you will need to replace a minimum of 5 parts made in the US for you to make your modification. Magazine body is one of them, Forearm/handguards from Surefire is another, aftermarket follower is another, etc...
