The only way I can see this working with a short barrel is if somehow it gets classified as a pistol.
The way the law is written "rifles" must have among other things a rifled bore and are fired with a PULL of the trigger. It is unlikely that Franklin would build a smooth bore . Easiest way out is to modify their pull/release fire trigger set to only fire on release. Rifles as defined by the US Code only fire on pull . Since its not a rifle any more due to the trigger action there are no limits on barrel length.
