    "“SAWED OFF” SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES
    A “sawed-off” shotgun is defined as any weapon loaded
    or unloaded, originally designed as a shoulder weapon,
    utilizing a self-contained cartridge from which a number of
    ball shot pellets or projectiles may be fired simultaneously
    from a smooth or rifled bore by a single function of the
    firing device and which has a barrel length of less than 18
    inches for smooth bore weapons and 16 inches for rifled
    weapons. Weapons of less than .225 caliber shall not be
    included.
    A “sawed-off” rifle is defined as a rifle of any caliber,
    loaded or unloaded, which expels a projectile by action of
    an explosion and is designed as a shoulder weapon with a
    barrel or barrels length of less than 16 inches or which has
    been modified to an overall length of less than 26 inches.
    Possession of a “sawed-off” shotgun or “sawed-off”
    rifle is unlawful except for the following purposes:
    1. Possession for scientific purposes, or possession of a
    “sawed-off” shotgun or “sawed off” rifle not usable as a
    firing weapon and possessed as a curiosity ornament or
    keepsake, or the possession of a “sawed-off” shotgun
    or “sawed-off” rifle in compliance with federal law.
    2. The manufacture for, and sale of, to the military or
    law enforcement or to penal institutions, provided
    that every manufacturer or dealer shall keep a register
    of all “sawed-off” shotguns and “sawed-off” rifles
    manufactured or handled by him or her. The register
    shall keep a full description of the person to whom
    delivered or from whom it was received.
    No registered “sawed-off” shotgun or “sawed-off” rifle
    may be transferred without the registrant notifying the
    Superintendent of State Police, in writing, of the name
    and address of the recipient.

    DOES NOT PROHIBIT:

    Possession for scientific purposes, or possession of a
    “sawed-off” shotgun or “sawed off” rifle not usable as a
    firing weapon and possessed as a curiosity ornament or
    keepsake, or the possession of a “sawed-off” shotgun
    or “sawed-off” rifle in compliance with federal law.


    Which means if you have the proper federal tax stamp, you are good to go.
