As just one example, my latest "planned project" is "making" a 12-bore double-barrel pistol, which will be cut-down to 10 inch tubes & fitted with a hand-grip to replace the butt-stock, to become what the BATFE calls "a firearm made from a rifle or shotgun".
(YES, such "conversions" of firearms MUST be registered under our National Firearms Act & a 200.oo "special tax" paid before "making" the firearm.)
I've received a LOT of excellent advice on "making a short-barreled shotgun" from our members & one local "gun tinkerer" here in South Texas has offered to help with the conversion/mounting the front sight/refinishing, once I have my "tax stamp".
just my opinion, tex
