i own a geha and with the lenght of the action there is no way you will be close to 26 inches with a 18 inch barrel. why are you cutting one down btw i just cant think of much use for a bolt action 2 1/2 inch (assuming there 12 gadge) shot gun with no choke. for the $100 you would sell it for you could pick up a single shot break action made for 2 3/4 shells trim that barrel down still have a stock and be quite a bit shorter (still over 26 in)

Because it can be used for "hunting and sporting"
lol there is a reason he is on my ignore list... he's the only CGNer on there... sad isn't it?
This is my understanding of the law, but add 1/2" if you're not sure.These are the "truths" ndb86, as I understand them;
1. Any gun shorter than 26", from the factory <snip>, is restricted~period.
BZZT, wrong, common misconception though.
Yes, but it is removable. It could be argued it isn't a permanent addition.
If you are under OAL without it, you could be charged if it was found in that state.
YMMV
correct. henry mares leg for example... I have a marlin singleshot 22 that's only 18-20 inches. I thiny the henry youth model is shorter as well... yup lots of short non-res. Isn't the DA outlaw non res?

Outlaw! That's win/64 favorite gun! And yes its non-restricted.
The stock isn't a permanent addition either, as the gun itself is the receiver only. The buttstock is removable just like the buttpad and the stock is considered as part of the overall length. In fact the buttpad is better secured to the stock with two screws than the buttstock with one.
