minimal length of a shotgun is set by the Federal Firearms Act....The barrell can be no shorter than 18 inches(measured with the breech or bolt closed, breech or bolt fase to muzzle) with a minimum overall length of 27 inches.
Itis illegal for a private citizen to possess a sawed-off modern smokeless powder shotgun (a barrel length less than 18 in. or 46 cm and an overall length less than 26 inches). \
The usual minimum length is 18 inches measured from the face of the closed bolt. It is possible to own and possess a shotgun with a shorter barrel, but this requires obtaining a federal tax stamp ($200). Also shortening the barrel causes a loss of accuracy and a reduction in velocity of the shot.
In California, it is illegal to possess or manufacture a sawed-off shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches, unless it is properly registered with the appropriate authorities and meets specific legal requirements. Possessing an unregistered or unlawfully modified sawed-off shotgun is a felony offense in California.
wow you cant answer ask us we have the answer whatever
18. With parental consent, it can be done at 14 years of age.
you probly shouldn't be asking that :)
According to federal law the shortest barrel length allowed for both rifle or shotgun is 16 inches.
Unable to answer as asked. Is it already a shotgun or will it be built from a virgin receiver?
18 inches and a total overall length of at least 26 inches, just like in the rest of the US.
That would depend on the make and model of the shotgun in question,and the length of the barrel/barrels that came with the shotgun.
18 i reckon
18.5 inches
18"
1.345m
18" for shotguns
There is no restriction on barrel length but the overall length of the firearm must be 26.5 in or greater
26 inches overall with an 18 inch barrel.
