Who knows, but anyone who can cut down a barrel can drill a gas port orifice. Start small and increase as operation/cycling improves...Where's the gas port? The barrel has to be longer than that.
SBS (short barrel shotgun) ATF Form 1...The Fostech Origin 12 has an 8.75" barrel, but I'm utterly clueless if they do anything special to permit it.

Secret Service Remington 870 shotguns back in the 1970s had 12.5" barrels and top folding stocks with pistol grips. They also had a unique handguard below the barrel to keep the hand away from the muzzle when firing the weapon. The only female Secret Service agent ever killed in the line of duty was a victim of this weapon during a stakeout in Los Angeles near LAX when she and her partner were ambushed by muggers and disarmed.
