Is it legal in California.

Cesar, yes sir, this is CA compliant. Pump action shotguns do not have the same restrictions as semi-autos. budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf .....Have a great day!

Cesar, yes this is legal in California since it is pump action. Pump action shotguns dont have the same restrictions like semi automatics. Hope this helps.

Cesar, yes Sir. Pump Shotguns do not carry the same restrictions as Semi-Auto Shotguns. Cheers and stay safe!

Curious about the legality of the grip.

The only restrictions on pump action shotguns in NJ are related to magazine capacity (limited to 10) this one has a 4+1, so your good to go. Full details here https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf

Justin, there are no restrictions on pump action shotguns (besides 10rd capacity). You can have a pistol grip, telescoping stock, bayonet lug, flash hider, whatever you please (much to the dismay of Dictator Murphy). budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf .....Have a great day!

No worries about this pump action. The stock with pistol grip is fine.

Justin, fortunately PUMP Shotguns do not carry the same stringent restrictions as Semi-Auto Shotguns and is perfectly legal in New Jersey. Cheers and stay safe!

Since it's a pump action this is perfectly legal in new jersey. Pump action shotguns don't have the same restrictions like semi automatics. Hope this helps.

Can u change the stock?

Hector, yes Sir you can. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/benelli-nova-supernova/stocks.html

Does it actually hold 4 3.5in shells or 3 in the tube?

You can fit 4-3 inch shells and 4 2-3/4 inch shells but only 3-3.5 inch shells. Hope this helps.

4 mag +1 chamber with 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells 3Mag +1 chamber 3.5 inch shells

Nathaniel, this shotgun has a 3.5 inch chamber and holds (4) 2 3/4 inch or (4) 3 inch shells (only 1 inch difference so you cannot get a 5th 2 3/4 shell in and only (3) 3.5 inch shells.

There are two previous posts but still no clarity if this is legal in California. I see local gun stores selling but not in stock. What's the difference with this model?

Yes, this is legal in California. Pump action shotguns don't have the same laws surrounding them like semi auto shotguns, so you can have pistol grips and all the other "evil" features. So yes this is perfectly legal in California. Hope this helps.

Yes it is legal, in CA the previous questions your referring to were asked back in 2017, and the answer given (that it was not allowed to be sold in CA) was Wrоng, the 2nd question was just pointing that out. The only restrictions on pump action shotguns in CA are that it can't have a capacity of more then 10. Full details here https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf

Justin, yes Sir. Pump Shotguns fortunately do not carry the same restrictions as Semi-Auto Shotguns in CA. Cheers and stay safe!

Yes, pump action shotguns are pretty safe in terms of buying them. So you're good to go, enjoy and hope this helps.

as a pump action it is 100% legal in MA https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/massachusetts_restrictions.pdf

Justin, yes it is. There are no restrictions on pump action shotguns in MA. Have a great day! https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/massachusetts_restrictions.pdf

Great quality firearm. I've had this for about a month now and had her at the range twice. I've put 80 2, 2-3/4, and 3 inch mixed velocity rounds through it with no problems. Performance is good and so much fun to use. Fantastic option for hunting, home defense and sport shooting. If you want a Benelli and don't want to spend a lot on a semiautomatic this is the answer.

I received the gun within 2 days of ordering. The pistol grip and stock combo are very stable and comfortable. I added a 2 magazine extension to enhance capacity. The price was about $200.00 cheaper on Bud's than in the local gun shops. The gun shoots well and the sights are nice for shooting slugs. Bud's typically has the best price, thanks for not gouging.

Awesome shotgun, no complaints. Great finish and solid build. I was worried that with the 3.5 inch shell capability that the pump action would feel long but don't notice it at all. Great overall feel to it!

Fantastic shotgun! It took a good while to get to my FFL thanks to the big freeze of 2021 but it was definitely worth the wait. I have nothing bad to say about it. It will eat anything you feed it and it is a well built, high quality shotgun. The best bang for the buck in my opinion. The gun will handle any 3.5in magnum load you want to feed it however your shoulder will hate you for it. You cant go wrong with a Benelli. Highly recommended.
