Sunday Sawed-Off (legality in description)

[u/Vintage_Pieces_10]

Legal reminder:

- Barrel can’t be cut below 18” (18.5” semi auto)

- OAL can’t be cut below 26”

Figured it was that time of year again to make my annual SBS, thought I would tackle an o/u this time around! Surprisingly, I think I like the look of the o/u finished product more than the 2 sxs’s and the one single shot I’ve done.

Anyways, this is the start of this year’s cut down build. I may do some wood burning art on the wood like I did for the single shot.

Cheers!

OAL can absolutely be under 26". It can't be a handgun, and can't fold or telescope under 26" if it's say a not pistol mares leg, it can be less. There was a 24" mares leg that was NR. The 21" was called a pistol in the usa, so the horse police called it a pistol as well so it was R

Here's a 25" and a 24.5" NR mares leg before reddit does reddit things and I get down voted to the bottom https://www.basspro.ca/p/henry-mares-leg-lever-action-rifle-1309231349

You are confusing factory made lengths and aftermarket modifications. They are not the same regulations for lengths. I know, I own both.

There's a ton of dumb rules. You often can't hack a stock off, but you can buy a short one. You can't cut a barrel short, but you can buy a short one. You could likely build an under 26" shotty with parts. I think the Canuck I have is at or under that.

Never assume when it comes to firearms. It is your responsibility to know! You are taught this on day one with “Never assume a firearm is unloaded, know by checking!”

You often can't hack a stock off, but you can buy a short one. 

That's basically it.

You also can't cut a barrel shorter than 18"(don't quote me on that exact number, there's a bunch of 18 and change rules) but you can buy an 8" barrel
