Isn't it a normal rifle/shotgun under HRS ?  I registered one not too long ago with a long gun permit. No Problem.
So long as barrel is 18" and OAL is 26"

Is this shotguns with a barrel length shorter than 18". But then OAL wouldn't need to be 26".

under HRS any firearm with a barrel under 16 inches is considered a pistol. the ATF has already decided that a 14in barrel with an overall length of 26in or more on a shotgun that has never had a stock on it is not in violation of the NFA.

made a phone call to the ATF office here in Hawaii. An agent named Eric confirmed the set up is legal and not considered NFA. He also added that the determination by the state of Hawaii to classify it as a pistol would not  affect any previous determinations by the ATF.

Thanks for the clarification.
Looked it up on internet. That's nuts. Looks like a handful.

just transfer a gun over
have the FFL look at question 18 on the 4473
these types of firearm MUST be transferred as
"other firearms" such as a receiver.
apply for the pistol permit once the FFL has it in inventory.

i'm trying to have someone set up the configuration before it gets to the island. the guys at young guns said that if they did orders a mossberg cruiser it would be reg'd as a long gun to hpd. i'm not sure how true this is or if they are just erring on the side of caution.

I am having trouble following this, we are talking about just a pistol grip on a shotgun? What problem was there ever with that?

One of the problems with Hawaii law and shotguns is that it doesn't actually define what a shotgun is.

we are talking about a firearm that shoots 12 ga shot shells through a barrel less than 18" without a butt stock (thing that goes up).
