There doesnt seem to be a whole lot of information out there regarding building a Short Barrel Shotgun in minnesota. There is always mention of C&R being required for a legal SBS, but it is rather confusing.

Does the item need to be configured as an SBS already and transferred as a C&R gun?
Is the owner required to have a C&R license to own it in the first place?
Is it as simple as finding a 50+ year old shotgun and submitting paperwork to form 1 it?

I have a trust, suppressors, and an sbr in wait, but this SBS C&R nonsense blows my mind. Hopefully one of you guys can provide some clarification on the issue!

Well that just about takes that off the list off possibilities, just as they want I am sure.

Thanks for the info.



I guess that just gives us more motivation to take care of that issue.

You could always get an AOW like the Sebu Super Shorty. Those are legal in MN.

You could also look into the Non NFA 14" shotguns with the birdshead grips. I would strongly suggest looking over MN's specific regulations on what it deems a shotgun though. There is the possibility of getting into hot water with local regs on that one.

Basically a pgo shotgun with the birds head grip that is over 26" with a 14" barrel. Doesn't meet the federal definition of a shotgun so it is not a SBS. It is just a "firearm".

State regulations can vary on the definition of shotgun which is why I said you would have to look into mn's definition of a shotgun.

Link to finished product, you could also convert your own PGO shotgun but it must have been sold as a PGO only shotgun from the factory

To the OP:

You are correct. This is MN, and SBS are illegal - but AOW (which in fact, may be extremely short-barreled shotguns) are allowed.

Now just what about that can you NOT understand? Don't you know that our leaders are only looking out for our best interests, trying to keep us safe!?
