[Elkrock777]

Congrats, I know you'll like it i picked mine up in march of this year they are lots of fun. I have the serbu super shorty. Kicks real good with 00 buck

Speaking Israeli huh? Does it sound like oozey?

What's the difference? Pistol grip?

The difference is that the SSS and KEG, in AOW configurations, came from the factory either as virgin receivers or as built firearms that have NEVER had a shoulder stock on them. A "shotgun" is defined legally using the phrase (paraquote) as a "firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder" and once it's had a shoulder stock once in it's "life", it is forever after considered to have been made from a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, and therefore, a SBS, subject to IN law forbidding it and subject to NFA as necessitating a $200 tax stamp, rather than the $5.00 stamp required to transfer an AOW.

The short version of the answer is, "arbitrary BS to further control and regulate people and their firearm choices."

One of these days, I'll be buying one. I have a few other more pressing purchases that have to come first, though.

Blessings,
Bill

Agreed

Ya, I passed on getting a holster for mine.

I figure, if your going to carry a Shorty AOW, you might as well let it dangle from a single point sling across your chest.

 

[17Chap]

That is neat. I've looked at them and thought this would be a great backpacking/wilderness camping gun!

Make sure you use that dangly grip, your fingers are important!

I may have already held it at Acme when I was there a few weeks ago. I think I might even prefer it to the Serbu. Pardon my drool marks!

 

[HandK]

Congrats!! that is sweet, But I hate you!!! no really the hate runs deep here!!

That's what Clint said too. I'll let you know my opinion on the matter later tonight!!!

It probably wouldn't cost any more than $300. . . .

Thanks for clearing that up. It really makes just as little sense as it sounds like.

I suppose at this point you're already certain that the state and federal governments subscribe to the same definition of SBS.

Yes, Indiana Code uses the Fed's definition pretty much verbatim.

So, forgive the total n00b question here, but...

The website says: "All NFA rules apply (National Firearms Act 1934)", but yet it is classified as an AOW.

Is that because AOW rules fall UNDER the NFA? or am I missing something here?
(which is certainly a possibility )

Yes.

Yes. The NFA regulates AOWs, SBSs, SBRs, MGs, etc.

[Roadie]

You guys are ON it! Thanks!

I love learning more and more about firearms, can't believe I have only been carrying a year!

I was actually looking at the KEG-12 as a future(i.e when I can afford it, lol) home defense weapon. I was thinking it's size, and configuration, make it perfect for that.

You need to shoot one first-- I think you'll change your mind. (about the home defense idea-- you'll still LOVE shooting it!)

The lack of a stock makes it less controllable, and the short barrel makes it a bit tough to hit accurately.

The Serbus/KEG12s are good for 2 things:

• Breaching
• Making people smile

Unless you're bigcraig, in which case you can be surgical with one.

Gotcha. My reasoning was that in close quarters with a shotgun, it would be point and shoot anyway, but your logic makes sense.

Thanks for the advice!
