You can own a short barrelled shotgun anywhere. The question is, do you have a license for an AOW (any other weapon) or a Class 3 license. That is the only way to own a short barrelled shotgun. To be termed a short barrelled shotgun, the barrel length has to be less than 18 inches when measured from the chamber (on a closed bolt) to the end of the muzzle.
Washington Will NOT allow a Shot Barreled Shotgun they Are reguired to be Destroyed the gun if a Police agency Takes control on the Gun look up Washington Wacs. Best thing to do is detroy the Short Barrel and look for a Legal Lenght Barrel to replace it. Try a gunbroker or online.

I own a London Fine twist double barrel shotgun in fair condition, it was rated at $100.
NO!!
Depends on if it came that way originally and the barrel length.
find a replacement barrel and cut to the length you want
No, according to RCW 9.41.190: "It is unlawful for any person to manufacture, own, buy, sell, loan, furnish, transport, or have in possession or under control, any machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle; or any part designed and intended solely and exclusively for use in a machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, or in converting a weapon into a machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle; or to assemble or repair any machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle." You can thank the assault weapons ban for this. There are exceptions though: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.190
I own a double barrel A.H. Fox Strerlingworth Fow 20. Gauge and it is worth $4500
The short answer is, the barrel must be at least 18 inches, and the overall length must be at least 26 inches. The longer answer is, a shotgun can be any length, but if it is shorter than I just described, you apply to the ATF, pay a fee, then wait to be approved in order to own it. It normally takes several months to be approved, and the fee is $200. This is all federal law. TN has no laws that make any of that illegal.
I am not sure about the age or value, but I would sure like to own it to rabbit hunt with.
yes i own one, ans am currently trying to find a diagram of the firing mech.
18 inch barrel, and 26 inches overall from end of barrel to butt of stock. Some states have different rules. Michigan says 30 inches overall, so no folding stock rifles or shotguns. Edit: In Michigan, Lengths between 26" and 30" can be registered as a handgun (so folding stocks and pistol grips can qualify). Any rifle or shotgun ammunition-shooting gun under 26" inches is a "short-barreled rifle", illegal, and can't even be registered as a handgun.
