My father, who lives in NH, is "gifting" me his Benelli M4. The current configuration has a pistol grip, skeletonized telescoping stock, and a 7 round extended tube magazine. Basically an M1014.
I'm trying to get this MA compliant before bringing to my gun range. I have a gunsmith who says he can pin the telescoping stock to a fixed position. And then he can put a 3" block in the extended tube which would cut the capacity in the tube to 5 rounds so 5 + 1 would be the total capacity.
I was reading the MA regulations on this below:

(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
(iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and
(iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine.'“
So a semi-auto shotgun with two or more of these items below is not Ma. compliant, but one is fine.SWould the modifications I'm planning bring this weapon into compliance? I'm not 100% sure about the "a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds." Is that 5 in the tube so 5 + 1 in the chamber would be okay?
Any help would be appreciated.
