    Only people willing to spend the money on tax stamps ($200) and live in a state that allows that kind of firearm are allowed to have them. Any shotgun with bbl's less then 18" require special registration.

    Not true. If it is a smoothbore weapon, originally manufactured with a pistol grip and a short barrel, it is classified as "any other weapon" or AOW for short, and the transfer fee is only $5.00.

    The $200 tax applies to a "short-barrelled shotgun," that is a shotgun with a stock but a short barrel, and it also applies to a "weapon made from a shotgun," where a shotgun has been shortened on both ends to less than 26" overall and/or with a barrel less than 18" long.

    Well when replying to the first post I assumed it was a 12" BBL with a stock. In that case it would be a SBS. If it was made from a gun that never had a stock then it would be a AOW that carries a $5 stamp to transfer, but would still require a $200 making tax unless you are a SOT.

    What is a "weapon made from a shotgun"? If it is made from a shotgun then it is either a SBS or a AOW. That is not one of the 6 NFA classes I have heard of, MG, SBS, SBR, DD, AOW and Suppressors.

    You're using logic and common sense, whereas nunn is correctly stating how it works under BATFE regs. Two different things.

    I'm confused. Does the gun he speaks of have a pistol grip? I thought the 18/26 applied to any smooth bore. I read that Taurus' Judge was only legal(with .410s) because the barrel was rifled. Guess I need to read some better info. Or is this only in Canada?

    OH, we're talking about the $5 transfer fee. I'm good.

    The Judge is OK, just as many other .410 handguns are, because it has a rifled bore and will chamber the .45 Colt round. If Taurus, or any other manufacturer, wanted to, they could make the gun in .410 only with a smooth bore, but it would be AOW.

    I heard a rumor that the BATF was holding up importation of the Judge revolvers pending a possible ruling by the director.
