Pump shotgun capacity

[FiveseveN]

Pardon me if this has already been covered in another thread...

When purchasing a pump shotgun (w/ FID) is the capacity limited to 5 shotshells?

Or would a pump shotgun which held, lets say, 7 or 9 shotshells be acceptable?

Pump action shotguns fall under an exception to the over five shells must have an LTC rule.

There is no pump action shotgun tube magazine capacity limit. You are fine with just your current FID.

Cross-X,

I am REALLY curious where I can find this exception; mind giving the reference?

while we are on this topic. Say i were to modify my current tube and make my own to say. It would be easy to do so. Could i leagally make it almost as long as the 26 inch barrel? I have no restrictions on my LTC

Take a visit to the www.goal.org web site and look in the gun laws section. You'll find the reference to the specific statute there.

 

[N.E. CHARTERS]

Pumps come in different sizes.

I have had Pump Shotguns that came with 3 round capacity, 5 round, 7 & 9 pound capacity. OEM.

You can buy shorty shells ( I have been making them for many years) that are only 2 inch long and you will have more rounds, yet maybe less total.

Depends what you want to use them for.

Nice thing about a Pump is that it will feed just about anything you put in it. Mud & Dirt and vegitation included

here is a brand new pump from Ithaca that holds 8 shots
