is the title grandfathered? Meaning, does the owner have to register it as title II or is it still the title I weapon he originally bought?
IIRC shotguns aren't generally registered as DDs. They are AOWs or SBSes depending on how they are originally configured and modified. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.You can't register a new DD shotgun? Or is it just those specific ones by name?
Anything greater than 50 cal is considered a DD, except for black powder or shotguns. Shotguns are generally exempt from the NFA even though the caliber is greater than 50 cal because of the 'sporting purpose' clause. The Streetsweeper and the Striker 12 were no longer considered for 'sporting purposes' by the ATF and thus lost their 'sporting purpose' exemption are were reclassified as a destructive device.IIRC shotguns aren't generally registered as DDs.

Hello All;
I am a first time poster, I have searched this forum for an answer to how I should go about selling a registered Penn Arms fixed stock Striker 12.
I haven't found an answer.
I purchased the gun shortly before it was designated as a DD.
Went through the registration process so it's legal to own.
It has been fired about 100 times with trap loads and was then consigned to the safe and has set there for years.
I assume that the Striker would need to be transfered through a DD dealer.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully transfered a Striker?
What is the market for these?
Thank You

There was a scare last year that was based in rumours that the ATF was about to declare Saiga 12 shotguns as "having no sporting purpose" and therefore DDs. That would have prohibited importation. But it didn't happen. Not to say it couldn't.
The "Fiscal Year 2012 Agriculture, Commerce/Justice/Science (CJS) and Transportation/Housing/Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bills”. On November 18, 2011, this was passed by Congress, and signed into law by the President Obama.
The law reads as follows:
SEC. 541. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to pay the salaries or expenses of personnel to deny, or fail to act on, an application for the importation of any model of shotgun if–
(1) all other requirements of law with respect to the proposed importation are met; and
(2) no application for the importation of such model of shotgun, in the same configuration, had been denied by the Attorney General prior to January 1, 2011, on the basis that the shotgun was not particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.
BATFE (and its predecessor agencies) have over the years made some bad decisions, some of them inexplicable on any rational terms, but they should not take the heat for what the law says. They have to obey the law just like they expect others to do.
