thanks in advance for the help

edit: does it have something to do with a pistol grip?

someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but I believe short barreled shotguns fall into the AOW's category

the one time TRANSFER (from dealer to buyer in state, or private seller to buyer in state) tax of $200 is for:
Machineguns
Silencers/Suppressors
Short barrel Shotguns
Short Barrel Rifles
Destructive devices

a one time transfer tax of $5 is for all AOWs "Any other Weapons" which includes smoothbore pistols, cane guns, wallet holsters, briefcase guns, gadget guns, pen guns, etc.

IF the short barreled shot gun was manufactured with a pistol grip (no stock) it is listed as AOW with a $5 tax if the same shot gun would have a regular stock it would be a $ 200 tax stamp.

^^^ Correct answer ^^^

You are correct. They are indeed smoothbore pistols.
