Hello everybody,
I'm interested in potentially picking up an old Remington 870 somewhere down the road and sending it off to be converted into a "witness protection" piece, with the stock carved off into a pistol grip and the barrel cut down. Naturally this would just be for enjoying myself at the range. Here's a picture of what the finish product would look like.
Now, i would be having the gunsmith cutting down the stock as well as the barrel. Bearing this in mind, would the gun need to be registered as an SBS? If so, why? What would make it different from, say, a Draco AK pistol, which also has a pistol grip and a handguard?
Thanks everyone in advance, I just want to be safe.
-Love from Ray
