I'm sitting on a stockpile of the #7.5 (for practice) and mixed buckshot rounds (for defense). I do want to get some of the slugs, but they cost a bit more than any of the other mini-shells.I like those in my 590, but I can't find them anywhere for the last couple of months. Everybody is out of stock, except for E-Bay, where they are selling them by the case for $1.50 a round.
That's why knowing and following what the law and ATF rulings actually say matters...on that we can agree.
That's already been well covered-if it is a shotgun(manuf. and shipped with shoulder stock, even if a pistol grip is included)...no, he can't.Scenerio 2:
Guy buys a Mossberg shotgun with 28 in. barrel and 18 1/4 inch. barrel. It was registered sold as a shotgun. Can the person put on a birds head grip and cut the 18 1/4 barrel down to 14 inches and be legal with that shotgun?
Felony?
How do people know if a used pistol grip shotgun ever had a shoulder stock?
Not picking a fight.....honestly.....but people damn well better know exactly what they are doing when cutting a barrel down below 18 inches..
Randy Weaver comes to mind...and his wasn't less than 18 inches...
Just a point of note.

Mossberg does not use the word "Shotgun" one time on their website page with the Pistol Grip Only (PGO) firearms.
.,
If someone buys a pistol grip shotgun...it doesn't automatically mean they can cut it below 18 inches.......it all depends on how the manufacturer recorded it with BATFE at the time of manufacture....
If you aren't 100% certain...don't cut it...
That was my only point.......you guys know what the laws are and have a good grasp of it....
Awesome debate!
What's more, the sporting exemption's only for shotguns-which these ain't.
