    Been eyeing those semi auto Genesis gen-12 shotguns that come as "firearms" without a stock and 10" barrel. They are roughly 26" OAL with the buffer tube

    Are they required to be over 29" in oal?

    best i can see is that the 29" rule only applies to centerfire rifles and the gen12 is a "firearm"/shotgun

    Correct. So long as you don't throw a foldy boi on the back, you're all set. Popular shotgun choice for upper-end 3gunners shooting open.

    No, not required to be 29" OAL, the question is, will MSP classify them as a handgun like the have done to previous manufactures "firearms"?
