Super-Dave, the answer to your question about the .410 is NO. You have what is called a re-manufacture. If you 'significantly' modify a weapon as to change its 1. intended purpose or 2. permanently & drastically change its visual exterior you have effectively and illegally re-manufactured the weapon. This is HIGHLY ILLEGAL to do to anything you intend to sell.. You can do it to your own pieces (within certain guidelines), but once you do you can never sell them.
ALSO
If you were to purchase a .410 shotgun that came from the factory with a stock, and cut the barrel down, even though you have removed the stock, you still have a illegal short barreled shotgun. The barrel CAN NOT be trimmed below a set length. I believe its 18.5" from receiver to tip. $200.00 txfer tax.
If you purchase a .410 that did NOT come with a stock and shorten the barrel you've created an AOW. Any Other Weapon ($5.00 txfer tax). As you have changed the weapon to something other than for sporting purposes. Regardless of the fact that its breech AND barrel openings are less than .5". People have done just that to their pistol gripped .410's and have gotten nailed for it. The law does NOT stipulate which gauge the weapons have to be to be considered "shotguns". This also applies to the virgin receiver from the factory.
You can purchase pistols made to fire the .45LC that can also shoot .410, but the weapon was initially designed to do just that. It is also rumored that you can only shoot slugs from this, but I dont know for sure on that one. I do know that very soon those pistols will more than likely become part of the NFA/AOW community as well.
