sawed off 12ga. side-by-side

[nightrunner]

sawed off 12ga. side-by-side, anybody know of anyone that makes one(manufacturer)?

looking for something like this, except without the duct tape. also dont want a pump. i know they make a version of that. think of the western movies, one of them always carried a sawed of double barrrell shotgun, with a pistol grip and about a 6"barrell.

if no one knows of a shortbarrell version, does anybody know of a current production side-by-side that is a normal style, without all the gold and silver accents and engravings? just a normal wood stock and blued barrells, like to find one pretty inexpensive.

why do i want it? because i can.

[Mark@Sea]

You're looking for a coachgun. Stoeger makes several models. Avoid the norincos like the plague.

Look in the WTB forum for pics of mine, which is probably sold.

[Guest Grout]

The barrel has to be 18 in.,also about the only thing you will want to shoot in such a gun is the mini Aguila shot shells.2.5 in shells hurt like hell in one of those.

[Schadenfreude]

You can have 6" barrel if you register it as an aow.

which is what i am looking at. if i planned on staying with a 18" barrell, i would just get a remington 870 pump with a 7-shot capacity.

id like to find something that is marketed as a hunting shotgun becuase that is the type of gun im looking to start with, wood stock and blued steel.

would that not be considered a pistol ?

Only if it had rifling. Otherwise it's an AOW. The problem is that you'll have to find a SxS which came from the factory with a pistol-grip, and have it converted to an AOW by shortening the bbls... if you just take a regular coach gun with a stock, and chop it at both ends, you'll be creating an SBS... the difference is a technicality, but it makes the difference between a $5 tax stamp and a $200 tax stamp.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is an AOW and a SBS?

AOW = any other weapon

SBS = short barrelled shotgun

class 3 weapons

[Shima]

Thanks, I see.

How about this:

Frank @ www.elite-tactical.com out of Franklin, TN makes them

[nightrunner]

if i wanted a pump, id rather just get a serbu super shorty. rather have a double barrel SxS

[MrNobody]

Does anyone know how much Elite Tactical wants for one of those shotguns? I think I'm going to blow my summer money on one, if it's within reason.

[dcloudy777]

Unfortunately, at this time the SXS AOW is a no-go. The pump-gun AOWs are built as smoothbore handguns on "virgin" receivers. Nobody currently offers a SXS (or over/under for that matter) receiver on which to build... I wish they did. The only option is to go the $200 stamp SBS route, then you can have the gun of your choice cut to length.

Also FYI, if you build an AOW on a form 1, the stamp is still $200 (don't ask me why). That's why the "home-builders" just build an SBS... you might as well have the option of putting a stock on it, since the money is the same.

Thats pretty freakin sweet....someone find out how much Frank wants for one of those beautys....

[nightrunner]

so if i go the SBS route, i can still put on a pistol grip right?

[dcloudy777]

Absolutely. An SBS has no barrel or overall length restrictions. I'd just list the shortest configuration you have planned as the overall length on your form.

He is a great guy and I am sure would be glad to answer any questions that you may have.

[nightrunner]

what is the shortest overall length allowed for a shotgun WITHOUT it being classified as an AOW or SBS? i know its 18" barrel but what is the over all length limitation?

I believe 26", but can't find a link to show that. Maybe one of the FFLs guys will chime in shortly.

[strickj]

I think its 18 1/2.

Mine actually has just under a 17 inch but the "door breacher" brings it up to 18 1/2

[nightrunner]

are you referring to overall length or barrel length?

[strickj]

Just barrel length

[nightrunner]

im pretty sure its 18" for the total barrel length, i just need to know what the minimum overall length limit is.

i am correct in assuming that both the barrel length requirement AND the overall length requirement must be met, right? or is it just one or the other?

[strickj]

I would think its just the barrel length considering that stocks come adjustable,or can be removed all together with a pistol grip.The receivers will all be about the same size AFAIK
