  • ^^^not true if the barrel is less than 18" unless it's registered thru the ATF as a SBS

  • I hope the flint lock is checked out and if not a replica it ends up in a museum rather than being destroyed.

  • Two possibly three of the pictured "sawed off" shotguns appeared to be of legal lenght (18" barrel- 26" overall - BATFE rules. Also the "pen gun" appears to be a vairation of a Penguin flare/smoke signal launcher sold in sporting goods stores.
