[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 489430, member: 11960"] I did some digging and here is the information that I pulled from the ATF website: The NFA further defines the term [B]“any other weapon”[/B] (AOW) in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e) as: [INDENT]… any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive, a pistol or revolver having a barrel with a smooth bore designed or redesigned to fire a fixed shotgun shell, weapons with combination shotgun and rifle barrels 12 inches or more, less than 18 inches in length, from which only a single discharge can be made from either barrel without manual reloading, and shall include any such weapon which may be readily restored to fire. [B]Such term shall not include a pistol or revolver having a rifled bore, or rifled bores, or weapons designed, made, or intended to be fired from the shoulder and not capable of firing fixed ammunition.[/B] [/INDENT][INDENT]To me, this says that as long as it has a rifled bore it's not an AOW. I just hate digging through legal speak! I think I just lost 2 years off my life after trying to wade through all of this stuff.:rolleyes: Andrew [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
