Thoughts on a Shotgun with Sig Brace??

**wahoo95** · 06-21-14, 12:20

Saw this topic on another forum and figured I'd check in here for thoughts on this subject since its a good one. Wondering if it would be feasible/legal to mount a Sig Brace to a Pistol Gripped Shotgun using a Mesa Tactical Stock adapter?
Initially my response was no since it would require a stock adapter to make it happen, however it was pointed out that Sig mounts the brace to their 556 Pistol and it doesn't even require a buffer tube to function.

Since factory pistol gripped shotguns have no barrel length requirements you'd only need to maintain the 26" OAL correct?

So what say you on the legality of such a mod? I know the ultimate answer would need to come in official letter form but figured I'd ask in case anyone had already been down that road.

Would like to do something like this

Are you trying to avoid the $200 tax stamp?

The shotgun would still be considered AOW with the short barrel, subject to the NFA.

Yes, but $5 compared to $200

Maybe not, if the overall length was greater than 26 inches.

After doing a little research it seems that as long as the firearm was originally made with a pistol grip and not a stock and has an oal 26" or more it does not fall under any nfa categories.

So it seems that if the company made the original pistol grip to fit the Sig brace it might be "legal".

That's what I'm finding which is what brought about the question. Obviously a letter to atf would provide the best clarity but wanted to get some feedback.
