Here are the ATF letters I was referring to.

I have asked around and none of the folks I have asked indicated it was illegal as long as it never had a stock on it. There Are ATF letters online that verify it okay to own, and possess.

I will try to find them and post a link.

I guess it's better to research than get into problems later.

It is legal under FEDERAL law so the ATF is ok with it.

However the STATE statute, Title 21 in this case, does not follow federal law exactly. The same as many states do not allow short barrel shotguns or shot barrel rifles. We are lucky that Oklahoma allows items on the NFA registry.

In this case because the weapon is exempt from the NFA on a "loophole" (for lack of better words), it does not have a way of conforming to Oklahoma state laws in this configuration.

So how is it that it approved federally, but not allowed by the state? I could see high cap mags like California, or other types of weapons like full autos. But this is a shotgun.

It appears the state statute was written without any consideration for that particular class of firearm.

Henschman (attorney) said he felt they were "clearly not legal in Oklahoma" in this previous post on the same subject.

I would not personally own one without a letter ruling it is legal from the Oklahoma Attorney General.

The way I see it in Okla. if it shoots multiple projectiles and under 18" barrel its illegal. So the only ammo you can have around is slugs that are not in boxes marked shotgun shells. kind of like how they put pistol ammo in 20 round boxes and don't call it pistol ammo so guys with those caliber rifles (marlin 44mag, camp9 etc) can buy ammo without being 21.
If you rifled the barrel it would still be illegal because its over .50 cal. A judge is legal cause its rifled and under .50 cal.
