Does anyone know what the deal is with ATF and short barrel shotguns?
1. What is considered legal length and what length requires and ATF stamp?
2. What is a good place to go to find short barrelled shotguns?
3. What's a good price for a short barrelled 870?
Thanks,
Chris
How much is the tax stamp for that?
Anyone know where to get one o these SBS's?
P.S. And if you want to make a shotgun barrel shorter via hacksaw or radiac wheel,
let it be 1/2 inch longer than 18 inches so there will be no costly mistakes as per the Idaho massacre by the Feds.....From what I gathered the man may have cut off 1/4 inch too much barrel, His son, wife, and dogs were killed during the raid. A trained sniper by the name of Horiuchi killed his wife while she was holding their baby. She was not involved in the gunfight.
Thanks or all the help. In the interest of not letting this thread spin off into oblivion, does anyone know what a good starting place (price-wise) would be for a short 870? Not one of those little 10" spray-n-pray things with a pistol grip. I'm more interested in an 870 with solid butttstck and shorter barrel..... Based in the photos I've seen of them they appear to be closer to 14" or so.
Well, excuse me !!! I don't usually step on LEO toes as having been one a long time ago...LEOs being necessary for the peace and dignity of the general law abiding population, they of good behavior are my heroes.
So, my friend, lets not get into a p-ssing match over my opinion of the acts of Federal Officers at times. Recent FBI's watchful eye and arrests of
would be terriorists and bombers by the FBI is outstanding and deserves
our thanks.
I suppose we recall the bad acts of people more readily than their meritorious ones which often is not fair in the overall picture.
Have a nice day !
Yes, I have an 18 1/2 inch barreled Winchester Mod. 1897 which I shortened for Cowboy Action shooting some years back. I had a legal short barreled coach gun but the Winchester replaced it. Sorry, no photo as the batteries on the camera are kaput this morning.
