This forum has been so enlightening, but I think I’ve found a more reliable source. 201 Third Street, NW, Suite 1550 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102

I’m not trying to out-think it. It won’t be a shoulder fired weapon any more.

Sam1911, I’ve contacted MachIVshooter, and I appreciate the reference, but the phrase “firearm made from shotgun” lead me to the ATF’s website, where I found this: Overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length...

Thanks. I couldn’t find anything on firearms made from shotguns. I’ll check it out. I have contacted the ATF, not spoken with. I think there’s a six to eight month wait on e-mail responses.

Do you have a source? A shotgun is defined as being shoulder fired; this will not be, thus it is not a "shotgun" but a "firearm". I looked up the laws; this is what I've found. Forums are my last resort.

Right, that's what I'm trying to find; what says it's illegal for a shotgun to become a firearm?

Greetings all, first post! I am interested in shortening my Browning A5, but am having a hard time nailing down precise definitions. What I currently have is a 20-something inch barrel and a shoulder stock. I plan to shorten the barrel to less than 18", but overall length will exceed 26" (the...
