Shoulder Stock to PGO Legality

[A5WaffleIron]

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

But it's MADE FROM a shotgun. Thats all you need to know.


You can't make it not made from a shotgun. You can't change what it WAS, and that's without question, what the law hinges on.

This forum has been so enlightening, but I think I’ve found a more reliable source.

This has gone on long enough. The OP should get himself a good lawyer. Either the lawyer will be able to explain the law to the OP or represent the OP when he gets himself into trouble.

Ok. Maybe I should apologize. The link I gave you is to title 18, but title 27 in the Code of Federal Regulations make it much clearer:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/479.11

Firearm.

(a) A shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (b) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;

Thank you, Sam.

Note that the regulation Sam has cited, 27 CFR 479.11 are definitions that apply to the NFA. So we're here talking about a firearm for which a tax stamp will be needed.
