14" 870 barrels

[bgcameron]

prohibited firearm means...

(b) a firearm that is adapted from a rifle or shotgun, whether by sawing, cutting or any other alteration, and that, as so adapted,

(i) is less than 660 mm in length, or

(ii) is 660 mm or greater in length and has a barrel less than 457 mm in length,

^ From the CC.

Wouldn't adding a 14" barrel be considered "any other alteration"?

There are FRT's for 870's with both 12 1/2 and 14 inch barrels, so as long as it's a factory tube (not a modified one), you're all good. IO still has 14's in stock.

Ahh that makes sense now. Thanks Ian

I dont even bother to go there anymore. I rather buy from a site sponsor and pay shipping.
