So does a folding stock make it legal? Just curious...
nor any kind of NFA item since it does not fit those either.
.
Here is the info on why the shotgun is NOT an NFA item, right from the NFA handbook, http://www.atf.gov/files/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-2.pdf
2.1.8.2 Large caliber weapons. The second section of the definition states that any type of weapon by whatever name known which will, or which may be readily converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant, the barrel or barrels of which have a bore diameter of more than one-half inch in diameter is a destructive device. This portion of the definition specifically excludes a shotgun or shotgun shell which the Attorney General finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes. ATF has issued rulings classifying specific shotguns as destructive devices because they have a bore of more than one half inch in diameter and were found to not be particularly suitable forfor sporting purposes.19
it's not exempt "if" it fires a shot shell. It is exempt (an item in question) if the Attorney General deems it to be a shotgun. It being a NFA item is not predicated on it even fireing shot. Just like a sawed off shotgun is technically not a shotgun even though it fires a shotshel. You see where I'm going with this?I see your point, but it still fires shotgun shells which are exempt.

Legal for what as a what? There is nothing illegal about pistol grip shotguns, so I am not sure what the question is.
Legal to be a shotgun with a pistol grip & folding stock.
I wasn't actually concerned about it I was just arguing from the point of view the OP's link.
Not at all, I could see how easy it would have been to be mislead.I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
...I do not recall what they are actually calling them on the 4473 but they basically did same thing they did to AR-15 receivers. You have to be over 21 to buy them since they are not "long guns" which is the only thing persons under 21 can buy (federally).
