14" Pistol Grip Shotgun Law?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 14" Pistol Grip Shotgun Law?

Posted: 8/14/2017 8:54:28 AM EDT

I see that the 14" Barreled Shotguns with a pistol grip are now Non NFA.
Shockwave and TAC-14 for example.

1. Are these legal in CT?

2. Can I convert my 870 that I already own to a model like this with a 14" barrel as long as it has the pistol grip only?

Thanks

These firearms are not shotguns, they are "firearms" and transfer as "other" on the 4473 and DPS 3 C forms.

1) Yes

2) If your 870 receiver was originally equipped with only a pistol grip and has never had a stock installed on it then Yes, provided the overall length of the weapon stays over 26"

Thank you for your reply.
Bummer I can not do this to my existing 870.

Is there a way to change your registration status of your current shotgun to comply with the law for a 14" pistol grip firearm without changing it to a NFA weapon?

There is no such thing as registration. It has to do with how the Feds view it.

It is not a pistol grip and it is not a stock.
