Serbu Super Shorty

So...if it's an AOW, and legal within Indiana, what's the legality of putting a shoulder stock on it? How about a slightly longer magazine and a barrel maybe a foot long?

The laws about these things are so stupid - both federal and state - that I feel a bit of a headache even having to ask this...

If you put a stock on a AOW it becomes a SBS and therefore isn't legal to own in IN. I couldn't agree with you more that nitpicking laws like this on are stupid.

Illegal in Indiana because it would be an SBS

How about a slightly longer magazine and a barrel maybe a foot long?

Magazine tube would be ok, and depending what the overall length would be it would be ok until you pass the threshold of becoming a shotgun not an AOW. Barrel would have to be less then 18" and over all less then 26"

Happens to most of us

Alright, thanks for the replies.

All I want is a Remington 870 with option for shoulder stock, maybe one of those top-folding things, and a barrel around fourteen inches long. Is that so wrong?
I guess, apparently, in the eyes of the ever so esteemed and wise lawmakers, it is.

In Indiana. Some states allow SBS's.

I bought mine from Acme Sports and yes it was a $5 stamp. I went over and talked to Joe because he had a Serbu 870 and a Safety Harbor 870. Found out that he actually had 2 Serbu 870's so another member here on the board and I bought the two he had.

ok, good stuff.

after I get my current SBR paperwork back Im going to have to look into a Serbu. I would like to get a Remy 870 if I could choose but they seem hard to find.

They are a little harder to track down but are worth it IMHO. I picked one up about six months ago from Safety Harbor. That model has a few minor differences from the Serbu but they are mostly cosmetic.

Friend put a laser on one of his AOWs ...

 

[DaKruiser]

My wife got to pick hers up Saturday, her stamp finally came in!

They are awesome little BIG guns, I'm with Big Craig recoil isn't that bad! I've shot 3" slugs one handed with out a problem! and HotPocket has shot it one handed.

I've really been wanting one of these lately, but wonder if the "cool" factor would wear off really quickly and just sit in the safe...

I'd like to know this as well.

How often do you guys even shoot yours?

I'd still love to have one though.

I usually only take mine out to big shoots..........it is a crowd pleaser.

See, that actually makes sense to me. Usually not a huge proponent of lasers, but it could make hip fire or "shoulder" fire easier, and make hinge shots less embarrassing.

The recoil is not bad at all................well it may be for mortals.......but not me!

Finally, text worthy of a sig line and holds fond memories too.

Running the course with the assault serbu and hot loads.

This is as close as it gets and still legal in Indiana without going the AOW route. Knoxx stock, does reduce recoil. Also, you can not see it but on the other side of the stock arm I have an attach point for a single point sling so I can also use the same push-out method you would use with an AOW on a sling. The newer version of that stock already has a sling point on the end.

It is an 870, Knoxx folder, KKF 18 & 1/8" barrel, Nordic +2 mag, Nordic mag clamp with rail on other side, surefire is on it right now. The entire gun is less than a Serbu as it was built on a used 870. Oh, some left over Krylon paint from when the gun was painted for deer hunting

That is awesome, I love the magazine feed.

I've been wondering, are these threaded for choke tubes? It know it sounds a little odd.

I know the saftey harbor KEG that HotPocket has in not threaded for choke tubes. I don't know of any that are, but I'm sure someone could.

None that I have ever seen or sold (SF or Serbu) have had chokes. They are simply factory barrels that are loped off and the sharp edges smoothed out.
