Muzzle devices and OAL

[HanzMcFeely]

I know pinned/welded devices on rifles count toward final OAL. Does the same apply on a shotgun, should the choke/comp device be silver soldered to the barrel?

[akley88]

my understanding is that a silver soldered muzzle device device does count towards OAL for a shotgun.

Thats what im reading on google, but want to clarify first before the pipe cutter and die set come out. The choke i found is threaded and sleeved to slip over the barrel and solder on (think Cutts compensator)

i found this on google. i dont see why a shotgun would be different then a rifle for OAL with a perm attached device.

Excellent, thanks . I should be ok, the device itself is 2-3” and im expecting 22” OAL once attached

what are you working on?

What kind of shotgun? I have a bunch of shotguns with various chokes, and none of them extend the barrel length in any way.

But as long as the barrel length is over 18", you shouldn't have a problem.

Just a knockaround mossberg 20ga bolt i snagged cheap 26” down to 18.5”, add the external choke setup to bring it back up to 20-22”.

the turkey choke i have for my 930 adds about 1.5". there are also brakes that could add to oal.

These are my options currently being weighed:

1st choice, self adjusting (has bead sight built in and could in theory be replaced with a truglo fiber dot)

2nd choice

need to talk with Johnny from Sarco and see if he has any of the adjustomatic is in stock. Otherwise, ebay for 3x the price and more than the shotgun is worth lol. If not, i can settle on the Hartford Cyclone 3 and just figure out how to drill it for a bead. Realistically the latter will probably wind up being the way i go, due to price and availability
