[QUOTE="WhiteyMacD, post: 956013, member: 7633"] LOL, understood. Im not trying to be difficult. But the topic is interesting. Granted, I am looking at it from the reverse. Say you have a .410 shotgun, you slap a rifled barrel (not that I have ever seen a rifled .410 barrel) on it. By using the same logic propsed in this thread, it should be legal to have a 16" barrel (note, this would not be a destructive device as NFA states DD only applies to barrels .50 in bore). However, if you read the NFA it could be interpreted that the firearm started as a shotgun so would be subject to the 18" rule (which I think is why you dont find < 18" barrels on a .410 (You would think with the rounds available in .410 that have recently coming out for HD, you would see a manufacturer release a .410ga rifled barrel firearm in a 16 - 18" barrel if the rifled truely negates the smooth bore property of being a shotgun). Now, with all I have said. I am not saying its legal to do this, nor is it legal for a sub 18" AR upper chambered in .410 on a SBR'd lower. I am saying, none of us work for the ATF or are practicing lawyers who specialize in NFA law (and even if we did, I doubt there has been a case to set precedence). If someone is truely interested, ask the powers that be. Now, Im not really interested in a .410 upper and my only interest in the subject is theoretical. Who knows, if I get bored, I might just write the letter to find out. ;) [/QUOTE]
