would it be an sbs or an aow if someone were to build a shrunk down m203 that fit on the rail below a full size handgun and fired a shotgun shell??

You could go either way with that. It's not an SBS until you add a buttstock directly to this firearm, the host rifle's buttstock does not qualify.

Make it fire .410 and you wouldn't need anything

Straight rifling and make it fire 45 colt or .410 and you are gtg.
Then it's just another handgun. Smooth bore pistols are AOW, unless I'm mistaken.
Much like the Taurus judge or the bond derringers.

How I understand it
is while .410 does come in shot shell
form its not a shot gun
thats how the judge and others
exist...
basically you would have a 2 barrel
pistol. ...

this interests me

The .410 is considered a "shotshell". Any smooth-bore long gun that loads and chambers this load exclusively is considered a "shotgun".

The Judge and other similar pistols avoid the NFA by having a rifled bore. It's basically a .45 Long Colt pistol that just happens to also chamber a .410 shotshell.

You're looking for the Hera HASTA



And it would be an AOW.  Unless you attach a stock, then it would be an SBS.  As stated above, the host weapons stock doesn't count.

So if I attach my Remington 870 AOW to my SBR that's legal?

Yes.  There's an ATF letter floating around somewhere, I'd try to find it but it's about time for shift change.

The Crye Six-12 is interesting, just large.  Lots of polymer, so maybe it doesn't weight a ton.

I'm more interested in it as a standalone.

Well anything that WILL fit on a pistol rail to fire a shotgun shell will:

A. Have very low velocity.
B. It will probably rip your dust cover off in short order.

Unless you personally have the letter from Tech, attaching an AOW to a rifle, SBR or otherwise, constitutes attaching a stock to an AOW making it a SBS.  If you think the risk is worth up to 10 years and/or $250,000.00, don't worry about submitting a letter to Tech.

If this is true, how is the MasterKey an SBS?

Anything but an Aguila mini-shell is going to be longer than most any handgun rail, ignoring the need for a barrel and firing mechanism....

Sure, I could build you a bloop tube to clamp on your Glock.  It will go boom at least once.

There are both AOW and SBS-registered KAC Masterkeys. KAC registers most of them as SBS for logistical and practical reasons. They make a standalone adapter for it, so as an SBS there is no legal ssue using it with their standalone kit. It also alleviates a supply problem in getting bare receivers from Remington. But they do make it in AOW as well.  Neither classification affects the intended use of attaching to a rifle.

AOW or SBS, your probably better off with SBS. It's still going to be 200 on a form one since your going to make it, might as well cover all the bases while your at it.

AOW is $5 to transfer, all Form 1s are $200.

The only reason to go AOW is to avoid a 5320.20
