Imported shotguns are limited from the factory to 5 rds, I understand. What about ppt of one of the pump Tristar Cobra Tactical shotguns, does it still apply, or can an aftermarket tube mag extension be added to bring it up to 8+1 capacity?

922 (r) would apply, no?Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

18 USC 922 (r) applies to the person modifying the imported firearm.
Basically...
If the ammo capacity of an imported shotgun is 5 or less rounds when it is acquired (new or used, does not matter), then Fed 922r parts compliance is required to increase the ammo capacity to greater than 5 rounds.Last edited by Quiet; 11-07-2015, 8:55 AM.sigpic

Imported Shotguns
Imported shotguns are limited from the factory to 5 rd mags...is that correct? If so, if one were to install a +3 tube mag extension on an import pump shotgun would it be legal in the USA...specifically in California??Comment

...and when you do, note that there has never been an individual gun owner charged with a 922(r) violation, unless it was added to concurrent weapons charges.
The FAL Files has a BATFE opinion letter noting that modifications like OP is considering are not violations, as the original bill was directed to importers v. individual owners.
