Can you have a shotgun with a barrel lenght of 14" and as long as the overall
minimum lenght is 660mm (25.9") to be non-restricted.

Hey i get to be the first to say it,, Use the search function!! . lol Joking i had a hard time getting my head around this too. as long as the barrrel is 14" from the factory and the over all length of the shotty is over 26 inches it is non-restricted.

There is an important distinction between semi-auto shotguns and pump/bolt/singleshot/multibarrel shotguns.

For a non-restricted semi-auto the barrel must be over 18.5" and the overall length over 26".

For a pump (and everything else not semi-auto) shotgun the overall length must be over 26". Any size factory barrel is ok as long as the overall length is legal. There are plenty of non-restricted pump shotguns with 14 or 12.5" barrels.
Important: You cannot cut a long barrel to less than 18". All short barrels must be factory made.

Can the barrel be home made?

thats not what i said is it. I didnt ask if i could cut one down, i asked if i could make one. as in from scratch.

If you are a licensed manufacturer....then go for it!

If you were licensed you probably would not be asking.....

It's more the part where he says all short barrels must be factory made that applies to your "Home made" question.
