several provisos apply
everyone so accustomed to fixating on referencing off barrel length is a mistake in dealing with PGO shotgun-type firearms. Do NOT simply measure a barrel as 18.5", or read Mossberg wildly varying specs for their PGOs and figure a 2" barrel bob will be fine.
Measure as the ATF does parallel to bore and include rearmost projection of grip by utilizing a 90° angle/square to the measuring line.
Also, the ATF is specific as to stipulation that concealing such a gun, even if unmodified, turns it into an AOW as far as the feds are concerned.
