Interesting gun question

At subguns, the question is can you put a short barreled 410 shotgun upper receiver on your lawfully registered short barreled lower receiver?

See what gunnies have to put up with?

My thoughts are that it depends if it is smoothbore or not. Smoothbore would be a SBS, rifled would be a SBR.

What if the rifling twist is 1 in 1000″?

Heh.

Isn’t “shotgun” defined by bore size (over .58???) and not rifling or shotshells?

No. Shotguns are defined as:

“The term “shotgun” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of projectiles (ball shot) or a single projectile for each pull of the trigger, and shall include any such weapon which may be readily restored to fire a fixed shotgun shell.”

From 26 USC §5845(d), a.k.a. the National Firearms Act.

But you can slap a rifled 18″ (or more) barrel on your shotgun and under the law it’s still a shotgun.

God the NFA is stupid!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
