tactical shotgun laws

[R6YamaJim]

Did a little searching kind of came up short. Looking to get a Remington 870 with a 18in barrel and extended tube. I would like to put some goodies on it like a adjustable stock, pistol grip and side saddle stuff like that. Is there any laws in mass that I would be breaking?

Thanks jim

With a pump shotgun you can do basically whatever you want as long as the barrel is >= 18". There may be a minimum overall length limit but I can't find it at the moment.

Edit:

M.G.L. ch 140 section 121

“Sawed-off shotgun”, any weapon made from a shotgun, whether by alteration, modification or otherwise, if such weapon as modified has one or more barrels less than 18 inches in length or as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches.

 

[Amicus]

MGL c. 140 § 121 (Definitions):

"Shotgun", a weapon having a smooth bore with a barrel length equal to or greater than 18 inches with an overall length equal to or greater than 26 inches, and capable of discharging a shot or bullet for each pull of the trigger.

26" overall

Yea as long as you stay >18" barrel and >26" overall, do whatever you want.

My 20" mossy 500 is ~30" long with a pistol grip; depending on the model shotgun you could be close to the 26" limit with an 18" barrel and a pistol grip.
