Yes Illinois residents can legally own AOWs unless there is a local law that would prevent ownership of one.  They are not prohibited by state law.  

If you make one, you have to submit a Form 1 and the tax is $200.  If you buy one, you submit a Form 4 and the tax is $5.

I've heard that a SB Saiga could be classified as an AOW instead of a SBS but I need to verify.  Has anyone else heard this?

Destructive devices are not legal in Illinois. There is some question as too AOWs in Illinois such as the Serbu shorty`s for example these are technically AOWs, but may not be legal in Illinois.

my last comment should be corrected to mean that smooth bore AOWs are not legal in Illinois.
