Shitpost / Memes New Camping Gun

Post image

They messed up all my usual camping guns so I’m looking to shorten up grandpas ol duck gun. How short can this be without getting in any trouble?

I could be wrong, but 18" is the shortest you can do yourself legally. As long as overall length is still legal, with that stock it would be. If you go shorter at a gunsmith it will have to be registered as restricted and then can no longer be your camping gun.

You cannot shorten a barrel below 18" period, even if you're a gunsmith. You can newly manufacture a barrel that is below 18", but cutting an existing barrel below 18" makes it prohibited (yes our laws don't make any sense).
