I will post proof in a couple of days.





Basically if a shotgun comes from the factory with a pistol grip or it's
a virgin receiver never having had any stock other than a pistol grip
it can have any barrel length and not be an AOW requiring form 1 or form
4.





There is a a requirement that is must still have an overall length from
the furthest point of the pistol grip to the end of the barrel of 26
inches. (26 1/4 to be safe)





It must be smooth bore too.





This is not my opinion, this is fact and I will prove this in a couple of days , give or take a week or two.





Now if you have a 14 1/2 inch barrel and a standard pistol grip you will be under the mandated 26 inch rule.





I also have the answer for this.

Irrelevant.  AOW only requires a $5 transfer fee, while FA, SBR and SBS require $200 transfer fees.  There IS a difference.

The OP claims it is not an AOW.  He is technically/legally right.  And there is a monetary distinction in the tax which reflects that difference.

I think I know where you're going with this. According to the ATF, you can have a barrel shorter than 16" on a Browning 1919A4 as long as the OAL is greater than 26" because the 1919 is just a firearm, not a rifle. The ATF classifies a  pistol grip only shotgun as just a firearm also (which is why you have to be 21 or over to buy one from a dealer). So, as long as the OAL is greater than 26", it shouldn't matter what the barrel length is.

I would want that in writing, though.

There is no NFA tax to be paid because thus will be a title one weapon the same as any other shotgun off the rack

http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-4.pdf



Barrel length is determined by measuring from the breech face to muzzle for all but revolvers which are measured from cylinder gap to muzzle.  



Anything with a bore diameter over "one half inch" defined in rifles by land to land diameter (not groove), is a DD unless exempted by the Director (and there is none now).  Therefore, all shotguns over 43 gauge in diameter are blanket exempted by the Director who HAS in past, revoked the sporting clause exemption on certain shotguns.  And shotguns must have a barrel length over 18", otherwise it is a short barreled shotgun



(6) The term "short-barreled shotgun"

means a shotgun having one or

more barrels less than eighteen inches

in length and any weapon made from a

shotgun (whether by alteration, modification,

or otherwise) if such weapon as

modified has an overall length of less

than twenty-six inches.



Good luck.  Going to be hard to get by the barrel length restriction

I'm betting that the other guy who mentioned it wasn't a shotgun to begin with but rather a "firearm" might be right.
