ANOTHER SHOTGUN QUESTION.

daveob007

I know this is probably covered somewhere in these pages so thread can be moved in needed.

is a shotgun with black non wooden stock without the pistol grip restriced or not or even the grey plastic stock???
just curious because i am looking around for a nice 20g semiauto and have seen some nice ones with black or grey stocks in 12g also.
thanks in advance.

Being made of black plastic won't make anything restricted, but if you are looking at a semi auto shotgun make sure it is restricted to hold three rounds only! They asked me for proof of this for my semi auto... which is made of evil black plastic.

If your talking about the synthetic stock like the Beretta 391 extrema or the Browning cynergy black ice, there not restricted. see below. But if it looks like a "evil combat shotgun" you need to come up with more reasoning behind why you need it etc etc
