AW ban confusion: Shotguns.

[bullfrog99]

Are forward pistol grip on a semi-auto shotguns OK now that the AW ban has sunseted? I was thinking of a Saiga 20 sidefolder with forward and rear pistol grips. I know about the parts count, but beyond that issue, is it AOK?

Yep, totally legal.

Your state may have a say. (I dont think it does but I am not sure)

The only Federal Law on shotguns is the length requirement. You still cannot have a sawn-off shotgun.

Then what kind of forward gripped gun requires a "Destructive Device" $5 tax stamp?

 

[Destructo6]

IIRC, the Destructive Device shotguns are very specific, like the Striker-12 and Street Sweeper.

Something like the Serbu Super Shorty (6.5" barrel pump shotgun, folding foregrip, and no buttstock) are "Any Other Weapon".

You might get into trouble if you deleted the buttstock and added the foregrip on a semi shotgun, though. Otherwise, I think you're good to go.

Thanks. I'll check the BATF web or whatever for my state laws, just to make sure, but I think it will be a neat weapon
