quest84 22 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Anybody tried to shorten the barrel with a .410? Probably wouldn't modify the gas block area but it seems like it would be fun to shoot. Is it legal? Would there be enough pressure with the shortened barrel to function properly?

nalioth 405 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Once a long gun, always a long gun. You'd have to start with an unbuilt parts kit (including the saiga receiver) to produce a pistol. I also think that shotgun pistols are illegal, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keyser223 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I know you're talking about a legitimate pistol, but on a side note a friend of mine purchased an EAA S12 several years ago and included in the box was an Izmash pistol grip for the shotgun. It was probably an accident and I have never seen another like it. It actually replaced the rear stock and made it "defender" style without any mods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, it cannot. It has to start out without any buttstock at all to be turned into an AOW. If it was manufactured with a buttstock, it has to be papered as a "short barrelled shotgun".

You'd have to start with an unbuilt parts kit (including the saiga receiver) to produce a pistol. I also think that shotgun pistols are illegal, anyway. Shotgun pistols are not illegal (in Florida). I know of two .410 revolvers currently available to the public without any special paperwork. You are correct about the AOW conversions. In order to shorten a pistol grip shotgun to make an AOW, the shotgun to be converted can not have had a shoulder stock origanally. I was considering getting one of these for the house http://serbu.com/top/superShorty.php. I prefer the Remington over the Mossberg version. That is just my preference since I have used the 870's for so long without any problems. I like this in the .410 http://www.gundirectory.com/more.asp?gid=2...mp;gun=Revolver Edited December 11, 2007 by madmilo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
