| SHORT BARREL
SHOTGUNS (SBS) and ANY OTHER WEAPON (AOW)
NOTE: Prices quoted do not
include Federal Transfer Tax or any applicable state sales tax
We convert single shot, pump, semiauto, double barrel, over/under, and
combination guns. Because shotguns produce heavy recoil, part of our goal is to
create a configuration that fits you. We are not shy about sharing our opinions, and
will gladly advise you on the various makes and models, along with the pros and cons of
different loads, barrel lengths, sights, stocks, and other accessories.
Since our focus is on combat, defense, and survival guns, there are some custom
shotgun features we prefer to forgo. Among these are back-boring (overbore),
lengthening forcing cones, and broaching barrels (or installing Hastings Wadlock barrels). There is much debate over the perceived benefits
(reduced felt recoil, improved shot pattern, better accuracy), and drawbacks (no change in
felt recoil, worsened shot pattern) of these modifications, but it is our belief they are
more suited to competition sporting guns, and have little utility in our applications. If you are adamant your gun needs any of these
these alterations, please contact us to discuss this and alternative options.
See the tables below for prices on our new and used guns, and visit the OPTIONS page for a complete list of accessories. Unless
your state prohibits it, you have the option to send us your personal gun for conversion
into an AOW or SBS. We will file a Form 4 to return it directly to you.
Conversion prices start at $325 for pump actions and $375 for semiautomatics, and include
return shipping. The applicable Federal Transfer Tax is extra. Please contact
us for an exact quote on your gun.

| THE SOCIAL SHOTGUN
In times past, or so the legend
goes, a fathers old double-barrel sufficed to dissuade many a false suitor, or
fortify a faltering fiancée and gloomy groom, lest misfortune befall his daughter's
reputation. Thus may have been born the term "social" shotgun.
|
Definitions
Short-Barreled Shotgun (SBS) -
Any firearm that was originally equipped with a shoulder stock, has a smooth bore, or has
a rifled bore over .50 caliber, fires conventional fixed ammunition, and either has a
barrel shorter than 18" in length (as measured from the face of the closed bolt to
the end of the permanent muzzle) or has an overall length less than 26" with stock
extended, or both. The Federal Transfer Tax on a SBS is $200.

(Left) A customized Remington 870 SBS with Speed-Feed pistol
grip stock, 14" barrel, ghost-ring rear sight, and one-round magazine tube extension
cap. (Right) The same SBS fitted with a Tac-Star rear pistol grip, Sure-Fire light
grip, 12.5" ported barrel, and standard magazine end cap. Aside from the fact
it can be fitted with a shoulder stock, it looks identical to a Remington 870 pistol
remanufactured into an AOW. |
| Any Other Weapon (AOW)
- Any National Firearms Act (NFA) firearm not otherwise categorized by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as a short-barreled rifle, modern shoulder-stocked pistol,
short-barreled shotgun, machine gun, sound suppressor (silencer), or destructive
device. Included in the list of AOWs are firearms firing conventional fixed
ammunition, and disguised so they are not readily recognizable as firearms, such as pen
guns, cane guns, and wallet holsters that hide the outline of the firearm and allow it to
be fired while holstered. Also included are conventional fixed ammunition firing
pistols that have both front and rear pistol grips; handguns with smooth bore barrels less
than 18" in length that fire conventional fixed ammunition (generally intended to
fire shotgun shells); lawfully converted smooth bore firearms, i.e., factory equipped
pistol gripped shotguns with original barrel lengths of at least 18", which were
never equipped with or fitted with a shoulder stock, and which have had their barrels
lawfully shortened to less than 18" in length; combination rifle/shotguns with
barrels over 12" but under 18", provided each chamber is single shot and only
can be manually reloaded; any similarly described combination gun whose original barrels
have been lawfully shortened to no less than 12". The Federal Transfer tax on
an AOW is $5.
|


Two common examples of "Any Other Weapon" (AOW), a
five-round magazine Mossberg 500 Cruiser with a 15.5" barrel in .410 bore (left), and
a 14" M6 Scout combination gun in .22 Hornet/.410 bore (right) |
| What does it all mean? It means a manufacturer
can turn a gun such as a Mossberg Cruiser (comes with pistol grip only) into an AOW by
shortening the barrel to less than 18". The buyer pays the $5 tax when
purchasing it. The manufacturer cannot turn any shoulder-stocked shotgun or even a
kit gun (a shotgun that comes with both a pistol grip and shoulder stock) into an
AOW. Such guns, if shortened to less than 26" overall or fitted with a barrel
under 18", must be registered as a SBS, which means the $200 transfer tax must be
paid by the buyer. The advantage of the SBS is that it can be configured with either
a shoulder stock or pistol grip. With the exceptions stated in the paragraph above,
most AOWs can have only a pistol grip - not a shoulder stock.

| HERE'S
SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT,
TREAT YOURSELF TO A "BEAR CLAW"
DOUBLE BARREL SBS


Bear Claws are not just for breakfast anymore. We can build you a
"BEAR CLAW" double-barrel (side-by-side) or over/under (superposed) stakeout SBS
using either a customer supplied gun, or any of a variety of current production or used
shotguns. These guns can be had as
traditional coach guns with external hammers or internal striker fired guns, full shell ejection or
partial shell extraction, single or double trigger, in .410 bore, 28 gauge, 20
gauge, 16 gauge, or 12 gauge. If the
gun is available with a wood stock, we can rebuild it into a pistol grip. Also,
visit the OPTIONS page for a complete list of accessories.
We can convert customer provided guns starting at $375 retail for shoulder
stocked guns, and $475 retail for pistol gripped guns (wood stocks only). We will
try to preserve any existing checkering if possible, or refinish the entire grip
with either a smooth or stippled finish at no extra charge. If new pistol grip
checkering is desired, add an additional $75. If you want both the pistol grip and
foregrip checkered, add $125.
Here are a few examples.
