Yes, you can see it in my avatar. I seriously doubt anyone will ever get the other one though. It's about as obscure as it gets. I don't suppose you have something for us to guess at Ash?
Since there's nothing new... 3rd gen Beretta 92 locking block. And here's a new part for you all to guess.
Good luck.
ETA: Since the one above might just be more than a little difficult, here's an alt.
It actually falls right in line with the Federal definition of an SBS. Indiana's interpretation of an SBS is identical to the ATF's; and with the exception of that semi-colon and formatting, the language is identical. They're both two part definitions where it only has to meet one or the other...
The ATF says you can and it *may* be legal under Indiana law. That said, I would not recommend doing so unless you can get some written confirmation from the ISP that doing so would be legal. Even then I would wait until the current situation settles a bit.
Since that decision is based heavily on the definition of a 'shotgun' per the NFA and GCA, and Indiana uses that exact same definition, it *should* be legal. Being that it's a recent development though, I wouldn't want to be the one testing it until something official comes down from the state...
You can't legally make an AOW from a shotgun that ever had a stock attached to it regardless of state law. The definition of a short-barreled shotgun overrides AOW, and anything that had a stock on it at one time or another automatically becomes a SBS regardless of the configuration.
This does not apply to the possession or manufacture of AOWs. AOW 'shotguns' are allowed, as is making an AOW from a pistol-grip 'shotgun' (that has never had a stock attached).
This isn't entirely correct. While it may be the only definition left that they meet, they have not yet been declared Destructive Devices. In your references to Len Savage's letter you mention that the ATF stated that Len Savage's pistol-grip shotgun is not a firearm per the NFA. Destructive...
Correct so far...
Yes, AFAIK, an 02 SOT can take an existing firearm and convert it to a Title II configuration without paying the tax (that's what the SOT is for after all). The only issue is that the firearm in question must meet the requirements for becoming whichever Title II...
The USC may be subservient to the Constitution, but believing a law to be unconstitutional does not automatically negate it. Regardless of what any of us think about any specific law, until it is legally recognized as being unconstitutional it remains in full effect. And the consequences of...
Barrel length and the front sights is what it looks like.
The Scout has a 18" barrel with a NM .062" Post.
The SOCOM 16 has a 16.25" barrel with an XS Sights Post with a tritium insert.
Here's some links to their specs

You've quite thoroughly confused the letter of the law with the intent of the 2nd Amendment. The intent of the 2nd Amendment might be that there should be no sporting purposes clause, barrel/overall length restriction, etc... But the letter of the law is very clear in that those restrictions do...
The sporting clause in the GCA only applies to imports AFAIK. There is another 'sporting purposes' clause in the Destructive Device definition though that allows for an exception for shotguns. That was the one used to rule that the USAS-12, Striker 12, and Streetsweeper shotguns as destructive...
I wouldn't go so far as to hang this one all on the ATF, although they have their fair share of the blame, it has been a long time coming. If you go through the NFA and GCA and read the various definitions, pistol-grip shotguns start looking more and more like they've managed to slip through the...
I don't think Indiana makes a distinction on what your mode of transportation is in regards to carrying...
And to think, I had completely forgot I ever created this thread... :):
To me at least, asking which of the two is worse for the majority leads to one conclusion.
You can pay the tax, experience no wait, and leave the NFA standing; or you can eliminate the tax, which is the only leg the NFA stands on, and experience no tax, no registration, and no wait as the...
It's starting to seem that way too many people don't realize what the lack of tax would mean for the NFA.
Back in 1934 the NFA was presented to Congress and subsequently passed as a taxing measure. It is part of the US Tax Code, and was originally enforced by the IRS. In short, the stated...
