I just read up on the technicality they use to make the gun with a barrel shorter than 18". Just a matter of time before they close the loophole... I'll keep mine just the way they are.
Care to elaborate?
Thanks.
It has never been fitted/designed with a shoulder stock/buttstock (pistol grip only) and overall length is >26".
The key here is that it was never made with a buttstock. Which means you can't take your old 870 (not that you would) cut off the stock and saw off the barrel. That doesn't count as the same because it was intended as a shoulder-fired shotgun from the get go.

HARDLY "Political" ! Much more like "PSA" statement....Remember, folks, politics is a forbidden topic at AK, and this thread is at least on the edge.

And then there is this, the C-More M26 PDW M1. It is derived from a military version and is legal to own. However, last time I read about it the classification was AOW (any other weapon) and required a $5 tax stamp on it. I'd bet you do have to pay that on the Mossberg as well -
AOW / Any Other Weapon has been on the books for long, long time.
Interesting times....
Looks like an amazing home-defense weapon -
tho I suspect my wrists would be assaulted firing one of these pistol-grip shotguns

The "Mini-Shells" from Aguila Ammunition offer an interesting alternative to more traditional 12-ga. shells:Looks like an amazing home-defense weapon -
