features that make shotguns illegal?

[xmenrsix]

are there any add on features that would make a pump action shotgun illegal? someone told me that pistol grips front and rear are... is there any truth to that?

thanks

Don't quote me but you can put whatever you want on it as long as you meet the required minimum length(32 inches) and it doesn't have a pistol grip w/ detachable mag.

A pump action shotgun can basically have any evil features you want as long as you don't go below 18" barrel / 26" Overall Length. I wouldn't add a magazine tube extension that would allow it to hold over 10-rounds.

min length is 26" for shotguns and you can't have a berral shorter then 18"... that's it for pumps

What he said.

So, just to clarify what it appears the OP was after.... a pump shotgun with forward and rear pistol grips is not illegal? That was my impression also, but I never researched it.

As long as the barrel length is 18" or greater and the overall length is 26" or greater, forward & rear pistol grips on a pump-action shotgun is 100% legal.

there is legal and there is what a judge would call a "public nuisance" and have destroyed

i know its not the law but it happens every day

funy how courtrooms seem like little bubbles of dictatorships

nope...I sure hope not, since that is how my pump is setup

two pistol grips sure make it easier to shoot when my stock is folded....

thanks guys...

so i measured one and the barrel is 18 inches and it just barely makes 28 to the tip of the rear grip... so i guess its cool... (too bad its not like a fish, cuz when i was younger if you step on them you might get an extra inch to make umm limit )

oh... 32inches or 26? hmm... anyone know for sure?

Its 26". You can check CA and Federal law if you want, but the minimum length that a shotgun can be without being considered an SBS is 26"

What about a bayonet? I thought those were illegal to have.

[ke6guj]

bayonets are not illegal. They are not a regulated item on firearms in CA. Bayonet mounts used to be regulated federally with the federal AW ban.

I guess you'd just have to comply iwth the CA knife laws. So, no CCW with a bayonet on it. That would make a concealed dirk or dagger
