and the Remington here:
http://www.scottsdalegunclub.com/NFA/NF ... Sales.htmlThey both have short, smooth bore barrels and pistol grips. The confusion sets in...

This topic has me purplexed. I did some reseach and still can't come up with a definite answer for the SBS or AOW shotguns.
This is from a form 2 manufactures form for ATF
e. ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION FIELD. Use this field to further describe the firearm, such as the manufacture of an integral silencer, or to document that a firearm is <b>classified as an “any other weapon†by stating that the firearm had never been configured with a shoulder stock.</b>
This from the info Paco posted
A short barreled shotgun is any shotgun (shoulder fired, smooth bore) with a barrel of less than 18" or an overall length of less than 26", or any weapon made from a shotgun falling into the same length parameters.
Any other weapons (<b>AOW's</b>) are a number of things; smooth bore pistols, any pistol with more than one grip, gadget type guns (cane gun, pen gun) <b>and shoulder fired weapons with both rifled and smooth bore barrels between 12" and 18", that must be manually reloaded </b>(see discussion below). These definitions are simplified, to see if a specific gun is a title 1 or 2 firearm one needs to refer to the specific definition under the statute(s), and possibly consult with the Technology Branch of
ATF. There is also case law on the issue of whether a specific item falls into one of these categories.
It seems to me that a shotgun (pump or single shot) could be made into either an SBS or an AOW and a semi-auto shotgun as an SBS only.
