He is facing two years, and if he has priors, then up to four.

Probably not. The Fair Sentencing Act changed the 100:1 ratio for grams of powder versus crack cocaine to a ratio of 28:1. Perhaps, if you have not finished the prior sentence, you might modify it, but if you have already finished it, you cannot "unserve" the time. Even if you succeeded in having the court modify the crack sentence, it would probably not have any impact on the advisory guidelines for the current 922(g) charge.
