ATF Hates This One Trick to Get a Short Barreled Shotgun!
This expert-level guide, drawing on the deep knowledge of Ian McCollum regarding NFA regulations and ATF administrative determinations, explains how to legally possess smoothbore firearms that circumvent NFA restrictions. It details the definitions of shotguns and Any Other Weapons (AOWs), and illustrates the 'Shockwave loophole' by which firearms over 26 inches without a stock avoid classification as NFA items. The guide also touches on how rifled barrels differentiate certain firearms, like the Taurus Judge, from AOW status.
