Just got an email, PD trade in shotguns-

I thought rifling in a shotgun made it a rifle? And then it being 12 gauge would be over the size limit avoided by sporting purpose exception, right?

*shrug*

NFA makes my head hurt- Why am I wrong this time?

a 16 inch gun on a battle ship has rifling, but no buttstock, is it considered a rifle, or just a firearm ??

don't over think it, and for Christs sake don't write any ATF determination letters

Dang, thats a good deal. I just might have to jump on that lol

The firearm is the receiver/serialized part. As long as requirements such as length are followed, it's a shotgun if the receiver is one.

As far as the battleship is concerned, that gun is referred to properly as a "16" naval rifle." It's amusing when one uses that term and people visualize a 16" barrel carbine, rather than a one ton projectile.

Isn't a smooth barrel in the definition of shotgun? You know, because rifles have rifling?

This Christmas, I'm asking Santa for a "16" Naval Rifle!!!

"Sporting Purpose" exemption...

Rifled bores over .50 Caliber are automatically considered Destructive Devices unless they are specifically granted a waiver. Rifled Slug Bore Shotguns are granted waivers since they are shooting low pressure, short range loads for the most part.

Nice video...too bad most cool shotgun projectiles are illegal in FL.
