Title: 8.5 inch shotgun with no NFA required
Post by: TexasRedNeck on July 21, 2015, 07:16:01 PM
I'm not sure what to think about this.  It seems to be a sweet little package and I already have multiple NFA items but it would be cool to have one that doesn't require a stamp if its true.

Any thoughts on this, either from practicality or legality?  Yes, its $1400 but its cool

No thoughts from me, all kinds of different rules apply to me.

But yeah that's a cool package there!

In Cali a shotgun must have an 18in barrel with a 26in length when operational.

A semi auto rifle must have a 16in barrel and be 30in when operational.


Now this is from wiki, but is my understanding too.

USA

Under the National Firearms Act (NFA), it is illegal for a private citizen to possess a sawed-off modern smokeless powder shotgun (a shotgun with a barrel length shorter than 18 inches (46 cm) or an overall length shorter than 26 inches (66 cm)) (under U.S.C. Title II), without a tax-paid registration from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, requiring a background check and either a $200 or $5 tax for every transfer, depending upon the specific manufacturing circumstances of the particular sawed-off modern shotgun being transferred. Gun trusts have become an increasingly popular means of registering SBS' with the BATFE.[9] Short-barreled muzzleloading blackpowder shotguns, in contrast, are not illegal by federal law and require no tax-stamped permit, although they may be illegal under state law. As with all NFA regulated firearms, a new tax stamp must be purchased before every transfer. Inter-state transfers must be facilitated through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) while intrastate transfers may be between two persons.[10]

In the US, shotguns originally manufactured without shoulder stocks (and thus not legally shotguns), with a total length under 26 inches, are classified as an "Any Other Weapon" by the BATFE and have a $5 transfer tax, if they are manufactured by a maker possessing the appropriate Class 2 Special Occupational Taxpayer Federal Firearms License. However, in order to convert an existing shoulder-stocked shotgun to a short-barreled shotgun or an existing pistol-grip-only shotgun to an "Any Other Weapon", a private citizen must pay the standard $200 NFA tax.[2]
