Now on my must own list, is it legal here?

olzkool · Mar 25, 2009

Ok, I just stumbled on to this and it has worked its way up to top 5 on my must have list. The problem is I am not sure if it is legal in MD. Would it fall under the 18" law or is it considered a handgun? If anyone here knows the answer please let me know. At least click the link and ck. it out, this thing is sick.

man that is sweet

Legal in MD, yes.
Need a tax stamp though unless maybe it has a rifled bore because I think it says it is a 36 cm which is less than fifteen inches making it a SBS, or if a pistol it would probably be a smoothbore pistol making it an AOW.
If it was a pistol with a rifled bore and the ATF would agree it is a pistol, then it would have to get on the MD handgun roster in order to be sold here in MD.

Well novus, as always you come through with the answer. I ck'd the site again and it has chokes so its a smooth bore. Now since it is legal where the hell can I find one? Answer that one cause I got to have it, how much is the tax stamp?

it'd be better just to get a super shorty... shotguns with 14" barrels need a $200 tax stamp

probably legal if you get it imported and your NFA stuff.

olzkool · Mar 25, 2009

I'll pay the stamp on this one. No worse than paying a stamp for a suppressor. Some things are just worth paying the gov't for wether its fair or not. Both of those mentioned fall into that catagory for me. Problem is I have googled for the last hour and can't find one. Where is the shit house google fu expert when you need him lol.

If it is "Made in Italy 100%", would 922r apply?

Ironically, with a buttstock and pistol grip you can get it in Canada without a tax stamp.
Less than a thousand bucks (Canadian) without pistol grip from this guy: http://www.wanstalls.com/Tactical-Shotguns/Tactical-Shotguns.html

Italian shot guns are nice.

Hmmm...good question.

I love the look of that, very nice.

Fabarms...Isn't that Hk??

You couldn't give me that thing unless I could figure out what to use it for. Even tacticool guns have a practical purpose for matches, HD and whatnot. Did I say that?

Get this one if you want a shotgun from that same company.

Note: Most Italian shotguns are very good. Some are not. Fabarms are on the low end of acceptability.... not junk, but far lower quality (and price) than other Italian guns.

I think it's awesome.

There is a good reason why the Canadians like those 14" barrel shotguns, it is easier to take into the field. http://i4.tinypic.com/68mkpag.jpg

Thanks for the info, I was wondering why they weren't over a thousand dollars.

Wyoming not everything in life needs to be justified with a logical explanation. How about it looks cool and I want it. If I had to have a reason for everything I had I would live in a box, walk to work, eat corn meal, and wear a leaf on my loins.

No, they are not HK. They are imported by HK. This is the same relationship HK had with Benelli back in the day. When HK lost Benelli, they went to Fabarm which as Wyoming pointed out was a definite step (or couple) down.

shouldn't it be $5 AOW? thats what a serbu shorty is. how much is that? i'm talking myself outta a serbu right now :innocent0

Not if they don't have a stock. If they come from the manufacturer with a pistol grip, they are considered AOW, and require only a $5 stamp. (just like the serbu)

Now on my must own list, is it legal here?
