IANAL- but if you have a VIRGIN receiver, it is NOT a shotgun- it is neither fish nor fowl UNTIL it is made into a shotgun- or a rifle, or a pistol. Therefore you do NOT have a firearm "Made from a shotgun" unless it get made with smoothbore barrels and a shoulder stock. You WOULD have an AOW. The Ithaca Auto and Burglar Gun was a SXS shot PISTOL- never had a stock, never was a shotgun (but the price of an original wil make you weep!) DO run this one past ATF Technical branch, but I do not believe you would have a weapon "made from a shotgun", unless the receiver has already been papered as a shotgun.


That is correct info. I do not have a virgin receiver nor do I know where to get one. If you have info on where to find out please let me know.

My out of luck part was the fact that the way my state law reads I can NOT build one as I was talking about from a existing shotgun. What I wanted to do IS legal on a federal level.
