I know the barrel OAL for shotguns is 18", and the OAL for the gun itself is 26", but do muzzle brakes that are permanently attached apply the same as with rifles?
I have a J.C. Higgins 12ga with a muzzle brake, and I was wondering if I can cut it down to the mag tube and permanently attach the muzzle brake? The barrel is 22" from the bolt face to the muzzle brake, and the brake is 4.5" long. I was thinking that if it applies the same that I would like to cut the barrel to about 14.5" and have it recrowned and have the muzzle brake welded on... Is that permitted without violating NFA?
