Well when this gun went from non-restricted to restricted handgun, I just had to make into a shorter handgun. I have not shot it in this configuration yet, but it will shoot 3" magnum slugs. Barrel was 18" and is now 8".
Here is what it looked like before.

I don't think you could pay me enough to shoot that with full power slugs
I'm also guessing youre reddot goes kapoot in short order.

This is how I had it for awhile before I cut it down and this tasco reddot has had over 100 slugs and birdshot with no problems. So the only thing different now is a shorter barrel and of course this NCstar reddot which I have not tried yet.

What was the reaction of the CFC to the alteration?

I had to wait 3 months for an answer, but I finally got the OK from firearms technician Mike Bartlet ext. 1005. He said as long as it is not cut 4" and under that I was good to go, since it is classified as a restricted handgun.
 
Ouch indeed... give us a mini-report when you get a chance to use it, i'd like to see what kind of spread that gives with buckshot.
 
I had the blued version. Nice compact and light SG.
I sold it before it got re-classified and glad I did...but I like what you did to yours!
If I kept mine I'd do the same but my range(s) only allows 00buck or slugs:eek:
 
I just thought of this now...I thought if you cut a barrel yourself PAST 18" your gun is now prohib. I figured that it would still count for a restricted? If not the loop hole seems to be to get an aftermarket barrel and/or pistol grip short enough to be restricted THEN from there you can cut a barrel as short as you want as long as its 4.2" or longer.

Correct?
 
^^^ I think it is because the reclassification made it a "handgun" (based on receiver) and no longer a shotgun, so the 18" rule went out the window


you can put a 6" aftermarket barrel on an 870 and a pistol grip, and then you have a restricted shotgun
 
I do plan on shooting my own lyman 575gr sabot slugs out of it. Should be hilarious. Everytime I bring it to the range everyone wants to try it, well we will see if they want to shoot it now. I get a kick out of watching others shoot it and now will only be that more hilarious. I may even let em try some 3" slugsLaugh2
