Pistol grip on shotgun

[Lastgunshop]

I read up on this awhile ago, and from what I read, when you MANUFACTURE a Pistol griped short barrled shotgun (called an AOW "any other weapon") thre is a $200 or something fee when manufacturing it, then $5 or something for each transfer....

so don't go thinking you can take your shot gun, and put a 10 inch barrel and a PG and only pay $5.......You have just manufactured a AOW and will owe $200 something.......and don't ever add a shoulder stock, because then it is no longer an AOW and is now a SBS!


(correct me if I am wrong)....

If you buy a AOW it is a 5.00 tax........... When we make them, this is not tax on manufactured them.......the 200.00 is only paid on SBS only. not on AOW...

thanks for clarifying that......

So if a guy wants to take a std shotgun, adn cut the barrel to "under 18" and add a pistol grip...how would one go about registering it as an AOW an paying the tax?

How would that work. The AOW and SBS stuff is confusing.

A shotgun can only be newly manufactured as an AOW. If that receiver was ever equipped with a standard buttstock or long barrel, it would HAVE to registered as an SBS.

I might be wrong about the barrel part, but I know I am right about the buttstock.
