Good idea, but why base it on a 28 ga.? As per tet's ammo post, the options in 12 ga ammo more than make up for any weight penalty. In fact, I hear the new 50 cal sabot slugs damn near make the 12 ga. into a 100 yd rifle.

Per NFA'34, a firearm with a bore over ½" is a "destructive device" unless the Treasury Secretary deems it suitable for "sporting purposes". A 28ga shotgun should be chokable down to 0.499" without any problem; a 20ga or 12ga would require a larger bore.

You can't beat the government at the 'regulating' game. They would, & will, change the 'rules' if they feel it is necessary.

But I doubt they will ever have the guts to flat outlaw 12 ga shotguns. - Bullpup 'style' sure, they will no doubt try.
