cutting down a shotgun barrel tonight on a mossberg shotgun. what is the min length you can have in ga. and where to you measure from. Thanks.
Using a shell in the chamber will give you a barrel that is longer than the minimum.
The chamber is part of the barrel.
Barrel measurements are made by inserting a dowel against the closed breech face.
no firing pin, would it be legal to have possession of said gun, as long as it was not a usable weapon.
An unserviceable firearm is defined as one which is incapable of discharging a shot by means of an explosive and which is incapable of being readily restored to a firing condition.
I have heard both chamber and the breech, also looked on the atf site and found nothing.Lets produce some facts cause if u get caught with a short gun it ain't no slap on the wrist.

The legal measurement is from the bolt/breech face.
Weagle.
If (by some chance) a barrel got cut off too short, could it be made legal again by threading and adding a choke?
