    Question on an old JC Higgins

    I was checking some auctions and I was wondering if I need to notify these people they are attempting to sell a SBS?

    Auction link

    TIA

      It is a firearm part not a firearm. No receiver with it. Just like an ar upper.

        I'm wondering why you feel you need permission from somebody here. If you cannot stand to myob, I'd say shoot them a message ASAP!
        True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.

        Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

          I was just wanting to be sure it looked a bit short before warning them.

            Looked to me like the barrel has a cut in it near the receiver.

              What? The receiver is the part stamped JC Higgins 583.9. It's a bolt action shotgun.

              It's part 6 in this diagram.

                Also to me but if it fires even once in a non standard configuration it qualifies.

                  You are correct all it needs is a bolt to fire. At least they listed it correctly as OTHER. NFA firearms including Short Barreled Shotguns are OTHER according to ATF.
