and 3 is tricky either a new forend or mesa tac is comming out with a new shorter LOP stock.

there is no state or federal law that limits a PG'ed semi-auto shotgun from having a 5-round mag tube. That is why it isn't in the flowchart.

Now, 922(r) might apply to the assembly of an imported shotgun with that mag extension, and there are ways to deal iwth swapping out foreign parts for domestic parts.. But 922(r) does not prohibit possession, and hte flowchart deals with the legality of hte shotgun as it sits there.

Thank you for the clarification!

No state limit of the capacity of a shotgun. You can legally attach a large-capacity magazine to a shotgun in CA without violating any laws. yes, it would need to be mag-locked in CA if it was a semi-auto shotgun. What there are are restrictions on the acquistion of large-capacity magazines.

Here's a question for you.. Let's say you have a legal 10 rd. capacity tube magazine on your shotgun that holds 10 2.75" shells. Would substituting shorter shells and thus going over 10 rounds be considered manufacturing a high-cap magazine?

Or.. you have a 3.5" chamber and magazine that will accept 10 3.5" shells but many more 2.75" shells, and the chamber will also accept the shorter shells. Would this create a high-cap issue?

IIRC, that scenario was brought up in the Kings County DA? case against CADOJ and it was basically dismissed as not an issue.

I'm curious, if you buy a imported shotgun with pistol grip and higher capacity than 5 rounds from a LEO or was one point in the hands of a LEO because of switching owners, would that be 922r compliant? I heard it would be ok but can anyone really confirm this? I get sad every time when I read about semi auto shotguns.

Also Benelli used to sell the original mag ext before BATF stop them. Are those still legal to have? They should be correct? Because in the early days you had the option of adding the mag ext before you bought one and that would be imported together.

so if my oal is 26", I don't have to run a buttstock? but can't use a folder, another awesome law. detachable stock should be fine, right?

[ke6guj]

correct, as long as you can make length without a buttstock, you don't need to have one installed. And you can run a folder if you want, you just can't also have a Pistol grip with it.

the shotgun AW law does not mention removable stocks at all in its list of "evil features", just telescoping or folding stocks that are used in conjunction with a pistol grip or VFG.
