The illegal one is initially quite a bit cheaper but the legal fees, fines and time in prison will eventually (30 seconds or so?) outweigh the costs of the other.

If you do the paperwork 1st...you can then legally hack the snot outta your shotgun barrel legally...gotta have done the tapdance of the ATF 1st

The Serbu Super Shorty is not SBS, it's AOW.

What makes a SBS from AOW is that a SBS is modified from a non-modified normal shotgun, a AOW is manufactured and unmodified in its production

You can take a Remy 870 and saw the barrel off, it becomes a SBS and $200 (if you don't go to prison 1st)
Now manufacture a barrel and forward handgrip for a shotgun and it becomes a AOW (just be prepared to prove you actually built the thing!)


AOW


SBS

See the difference?

Simple actually
