Even with a cylinder bore in a 18 1/2" or sawed-off (highly illegal in most cases) barrel, Under federal law the minimum barrel lengths are 18" for shotguns and 16" for rifles. I know of no state law that furthe restricts length. That's why I tried to differentiate between a 18 1/2" (legal) and a sawed-off (illegal) barrel. The OP mentioned "sawed-off," which would normally be illegal in any case (don't know if they are legal under Class III regs). |

The OP mentioned "sawed-off," which would normally be illegal in any case (don't know if they are legal under Class III regs). That's a funny thing... It's generally illegal to cut a normal shotgun down to a short barrel length, but it *is* legal to manufacture a short-barreled shotgun and sell it as an "All Other Weapons" Class III firearm, with a $5 tax stamp. There are some *very* neat little three-shot 12 gauge shotguns with 9" barrels out there (with a folding handle on the slide to help control the little monster). Based on the Mossberg action. I've seen them go for as little as $250 used on some gun auction sites. They don't have as much punch as a regular 12 gauge, but hey, if you have a Class III license, it's practically an impulse buy... and a *serious* short-range low collateral-damage weapon. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations.
