When interstate traveling w/ DD, do you have to get paperwork from the ATF like when traveling w/ a MG, or is a DD exempt from that? What about an AOW? Is a 12 gauge shotgun w/ shortbarrel and no shoulder stock an AOW or a DD? |

You will need an approved 5320.20 for interstate transport of a DD. The only NFA items that don't need it are AOWs and suppressors, everything else needs one. I filed two at the same time for my DD; One to Oregon and one to my dad's house in Idaho. I had the dates starting May 1st and running through December 31st. So I can go to and from those locations any time I want between now and the end of the year. As for the other question, the answer is "it depends." If the shotgun started life with a buttstock, and now has a short barrel, it is simply a short barrel shotgun. If it was a virgin receiver and never had a buttstock attached, and was then made with a short barrel, it is an AOW. The only shotgun DDs I know of are the Streetsweeper and USAS-12 (I think.) There are now pump shotguns that have been reclassified as DDs. There was some talk about Saiga's maybe being classified as DDs. Once it is classified as a DD, barrel length no longer matters (it can only have one NFA classification.) |
