AOW question

[SquatchWorks]

I want an AOW like this:

in Wa, you can only have an AOW, and no SBS or SBR...

an AOW has to never have had a stock, and I cant find a SxS shotgun with no stock from the factory. so the only ones I see like this online are a SBS and not an AOW.

Here is my question, If I cut the receiver, and reweld it and never install a stock, file a form 1??, get aproved, pay my stamp ($200) and make it an AOW, would this be legal?

Your question would be one best answered by the BATF/WA government themselves...Better to get a letter straight from the horses mouth if someone decides what you've done is illegal.

Just doing a quick google search, it appears the only known shotgun that came in a side by side AOW configuration was this:

Probably going to be pretty hard to find, and possibly more expensive than the move to an SBS friendly state

There are rules on "demilling" a receiver. When you're done, you won't be able to just "reweld it".

 

[SquatchWorks]

they make semi auto rifles from machineguns that are simply rewelds... And Im pretty sure I could reweld it, as long as it was saw cut....

Saw cutting isn't allowed anymore AP ATF.

Must be torch cut into 4 pieces.

Yup. And that usually requires a new receiver.

Old ish post but.

At the Cabela's in Lacy they had a pistol SXS in I think .410 or 45lc

My brother-in-law saw it also and nether he or I could remember cost or gage may have
been 20 gage he thought.

I was just handling a handgun last week that was a .410. Similar to a single hammer derringer, but instead stacked barrels they were side by side. It only had about 1/2" of barrel past the chamber. He doesn't want to shoot it, but told me that I could borrow it at any time. (I think he wants me to buy it from him)

er, wouldn't in this case an AOW tax stamp be $5?

If you make an AOW it's a $200 stamp, but if you buy one that is already made, it's only $5

ah! The devil is on the details!

Trust me, if I could do it, I would be pumping out the 12G side by side AOWs.

You had me re-reading the regulation, an lo and behold, there it was. Bummer. I was kind of dreaming of making a Serbu shorty myself. Now I guess it'll be cheaper to just buy one. Darn! It is a much more fun doing it myself.
