So I bought a shotgun recently...and the ATF took it.

I bought a 410 youth model shotgun at a pawnshop here in Oregon. It seemed too short when I got it but questioned it to the bare minimum(to ensure minimal liability) and when home.

Fast forward a couple months and I decide to get rid of it, with limited success as the it became more and more apparent from other members and from my own understanding that I had a problem. I was sold a shotgun that did not meet legal length and could not sell it.

Luckily I got some playtime with it before the thing was taken. I wanted to sell it so I called ATF to get confirmation that it was legal. It was not. He told me I could get a refund but that I had to take it to the pawn shop and have it confiacated.

I didn’t care about the outcome as long as I got my money back. And I’m not behind bars soooooo ya I’m good

 

Ya I mean I won’t risk my guns for something like that.

 

The OAL was just under 30 but barrel was 15 1/4” with the action closed.

 

99pawn. I’ve bought many guns from them already and still plan to. They usually have a some unique guns in there. I’m not upset although I’m sure others would be, but I still interesting.

 

Thanks, I will be sure to keep that in mind.

 

You could call it Portland. The barrel was officially measured at 15 1/4.” The ATF agent of Portland then had me meet him at the pawnshop where he took possession of the gun after that with no paperwork. I’m sure the pawn shop had some explaining to do.

 

I totally agree with it being much worse. I find people get themselves in BIG trouble when not completely honest. Which I did because I won’t risk my stuff over it.

 

Right??? I didn’t have to sign anything.
