I took a look at the VA codes, and I didn't see anything ruling this out:
Mossberg 590 Shockwave 
I thought I should ask here, since there are members who are more familiar with the laws than I am. 
Thanks, -Warren- |

GD thread here:
GD Thread A guy on page 7 has an interesting setup - a red dot sight and a Magpul RSA on a rail with a single point sling attached to the RSA. Also note on page 1 there's a link to an adapter that allows you to use the Aguila mini shells. I believe these were around for awhile as sorta pricey conversions, and now Mossberg has decided to get into the game. Now I just need someone to start making an aftermarket bayonet adapter, and I'm all set!

Seems GTG in VA.
The only shotgun question I have about VA is: would a Saiga-type shotgun with a folding stock be legal in VA? |

Yes. Just be aware not to use a spring tension drum magazine that holds over 11 rounds. See below. § 18.2-308.8. Importation, sale, possession or transfer of Striker 12's prohibited; penalty.It shall be unlawful for any person to import, sell, possess or transfer the following firearms: the Striker 12, commonly called a "streetsweeper," or any semi-automatic folding stock shotgun of like kind with a spring tension drum magazine capable of holding twelve shotgun shells. A violation of this section shall be punishable as a Class 6 felony. That is EXACTLY the state law section I was thinking of! Thank you, HansonBrothers, I appreciate it. |

Maybe someone else can answer this question. I was asked what makes this not fall into the "sawed off shotgun" code?
18.2-299 I originally thought that it was not originally designed to be a shoulder fired weapon, but the 590 was originally designed as a shoulder fired shotgun. Maybe under the same logic as the AR? The first and original build was a pistol, so therefore it is a pistol even though it can be converted to a rifle at a later date? Just trying to find a good argument for it when asked... |

My understanding is that because you are using a virgin receiver that never had a stock on it, its not actually classified as a shotgun, its a "firearm". Thus it is able to have a 14" barrel and not be a short barreled shotgun. Also, because its over 26.5" overall length, its not an AOW. Someone correct me if I have that wrong but that's my understanding. |
