Mossberg 500 + pistol grip...

[IM_Lugger]

just wondering if I get a Mossberg 500 persuader shoty and replace the stock with a folding one w/ pistol grip or just a pistol grip will the gun still be non restricted?

 

[NaOH]

It will still be non restricted.

As long as the overall length is a minimum of 26" it will be non-restricted.

that's with a filded stock right?


I've got another question, didin't want to start another thread....

What about Norinco N870 (Rem. 870copy) 14in barrel if I'll get a folding stock for it will it still be non restricted. anyone knows what would OAL be?

I believe 14" barrel is too short unless you get the knoxx pistol grip which has an extension on it; but yeah, generally it is prohibited with a 14" barrel.

That's for any stock, as long as the overall length of the firearm is a minimum of 26" it is non-restricted. If you had a 28" hunting barrel on it you could leave it without any type of butstock or pistol grip and it would still be non-restricted, just a little hard to fire

This is the ONE folder i've heard of which is long enough so that you're still legal.

That'd be this one;

As you can see - the rear extends a little further than most folders to accomodate the 'anti-recoil' system. I've been TOLD - but haven't measured - that this is enough extra length to accomodate a 14 inch 870 and still meet the OAL requirement - but you'd want to talk to knoxx first and find out before you ordered it.

Anyone know where to obtain one of these Knoxx folders?

 

[Calum]

I forget who, but there a few Dealers on this board that have them.

 

[prosper]

Sweet. I 'need' one. And one of those ATi ghost-ring heat shield barrel covers

If you're not set on a folder there are a couple brands of collapseable stocks out there that would work. Overall length of my 14" with an AR adapter and stock is around 32" collapsed.

What about Norinco N870 (Rem. 870copy) 14in barrel if I'll get a folding stock for it will it still be non restricted. anyone knows what would OAL be?

What if it comes stock w/o modificiation with a pistol grip and is under 26" in total length? Would it still be prohibited?

No - but it would be restricted.
