What is the legal length of a sawed-off shotgun?

Answer by  karenkay (343)

Sawed-off shotguns are usually modifications of existing shotguns. They are not legal in every jurisdiction. The legal length depends entirely on the laws of your jurisdiction.

In the United States, it is illegal for a private citizen to have a shotgun barrel under 18 inches, and the shotgun must have an overall length of 26 inches without a tax stamped permit from the ATF, a background check, and $200 fee.
