    18" rule??????

    So lets just say i had a single shot shotgun that needed to be cut down. where would you measure from to ensure that you were at the 18". what are the reprocussions if you were cut it shorter?

    If you cut it shorter all ATF rules apply, it'd be a SBS short barrel shotgun that requires a tax stamp ($200). Not sure what would happen if you got caught with one under 18".

          This is correct per ATF website. I always do 18.5 minimum.

              Thanks TommyH the link helped explain how to measure correctly. so if i am reading right it would have to have a 18" barrel and be an overall length of 26"?

                        Go to YouTube and type "ruby ridge".

                        I like this series on the subject, take from it what you will:

                        Be aware if you've never looked into ruby ridge it will tick you off and have you thinking differently about your govt.

                            This. And if you don't know who Randy Weaver is, google it.

                            Also, 18.5 or have a professional do it. Lots of jail time and money for being under 18 inches.
