M4 no longer selling to public?

[stingray365]

I purchased an Benelli M4 from Impact Guns. They charged my credit card and my dealer has the gun in his possession. I'm supposed to pick it up tomorrow (SAT). However I get this email from the manager of Impast Guns reading:

"Benelli has made a change that M4 shotguns are not to be sold to the public, only to Law Enforcement. We are going to contact your dealer to get the firearm returned to us."

My question is......Is this BS or has anyone heard that this is true. Is this just an Impact Guns policy?

Thanks in advance

I spoke with them personally last week(as i stated on here) and they told me in no uncertain terms that the 11707 version of the M4 is "NO LONGER BEING MARKETED TO CIVILIANS, MILITARY AND POLICE ONLY"thats a direct quote. The same was said about the adjustable stocks , they are no longer allowed to be marketed to civilians. Supposedly those rules were already in efffect and the ones that were on the market are the only ones out there. I spoke to the CS rep for 8 mins about these topics and the current state of affairs..well the next day a poster on here stated that he had spoken with Benelli CS and they had told him the opposite about the 11707 but the same about the stocks, so in fact, who knows?? The CS i spoke with was very upset about the matter and suggested that i contact my congressional rep and make my feelings known. The point of that is that he was very upset with the current trend and felt as if ATF was trying to run them out of civilian market so apparently he had to have some extensive knowledge but im just repeating what i was told..2 answers in 2 days from Benelli CS..so again, who knows?

Does not surprise me at all and i feel the worst is yet to come! Country is changing with the times and times are not all that great if ya really look at what has been going on and If ya wanta buy a gun ya better buy it ASAP. New laws will be changing things and why we need them is beyond me because they do not enforce the ones we have on the books to start with. All we need is another gun control act? HR 2640 will probably keep me from even purchasing a gun and only thing i have done is served my country! Hopefully not but from what i read i am probably going on the NICS "DO not sell list" Just for PTSD Diagnosis!

The ATF has decided that the M4 cannot be imorpted. I was not aware that the ATF can pass a law without congress. I have sent letters to my Senator's and Congress men/Women asking them to explain this, but no one has replied. Go figure!! It is my understanding that Benelli will not sell to the public due to the ATF. There are allot of M4's out there for sale so their email makes no sense. If your dealer has not been in contacted with Impact then I would get it fast.

Stingray365,
I hope you have already picked it up. And tell ImpactGuns to go jump. I would have been at that dealer ASAP after I got that asinine email from them.

You must not be aware of 922(r), Code of Federal Regulations, Title 27, Volume 1, Part 178, Section 178.39:

(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.

BATFE has the authority to determine what is meant by "sporting purposes." People tell me we have had a pro-gun Administration since 2001. I am still waiting for the Administration to behave in a pro-gun manner.

I just bought an 11707 a few months back, but I want to be a good citizen. Should I call Nancy Pelosi and have her come get it, or can I just surrender it at any mosque?

Try a church, since the people who are banning its importation are Christians (or so they tell us), not Muslims.
