Unless you put it on a lower registered as a pistol you would have to register it as an Short Barrelled Rifle with the BATFE.

Simply file a Form 1 to construct an SBR, pay the onetime $200 tax, then wait for it to come back approved.

What is a bunch of BS?
16" is the shortest that is legal and be non-nfa. So if you want that (unless you want an AR pistol) Fill out your request to manufacture a Short Barreled Rifle Send that in duplicate along with a $200 check to the ATF along with a set of fingerprints and a picture of you. Get your lower receiver engraved with your name and city add that barrel to the rifle when you get your stamp back. |

Let's not forget the overall length requirement of 26 inches. Gotta watch that, especially on break open shotguns. |

You would have to build it as a pistol. If that is ok in your state. Or jump through the SBR hoops.

Don't forget the 26" overall length, that's with the stock unfolded or extended.
Especially if a suspicious person asks you to saw down some shotgun barrels for him.

26 inches is with the stock collapsed or folded. |

Aren't most underfolding AK's under 26" when the stock is folded? I believe Yugo underfolders are about 25.5" when the stock is folded. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that was the case. |

Wait, whoops. I totally had that in the wrong order! You were right, I was wrong, I saw it different in my head somehow. Man I feel dumb! |

incorrect. the 26" oal requirement is fully extended. if it was collapsed, there would be A LOT of illegal guns out there. |

Just register an SBR. It seems like a lot of BS. But once it is done, it really does seem to bad.
My 4 incher.    Why 4"? Because:

How long does sending off the SBR take? Do they keep the $200 no matter what?

Wait has been about 3-4 weeks. Fill out paperwork. Get your firgerprint cards done. Get the CLEO signiture. Send off with $200 to ATF. At same time send your lower off to an engraver to be engraved with your name, state, city. So inside of 2 months you can have an AR you can configure any dang way you want. |
