I see more and more people commenting on facebook and places like that, that "any changes to the shockwave" make it an NFA firearm. "dont change the grip" "dont add an arm brace" "dont change the forend or add a rail!" "The letter says it'll become an NFA item!" "My dealer said anything I do to it will make it an NFA gun!"
Is there ANY merit to these comments and concerns?
I don't understand how if you can build your own based on a PGO 12 gauge, that putting a different grip, or different fore end or whatever would make it go from approved to unapproved.
The logic in my head tells me that just because a specific firearm is approved (shockwave, tac 14, black aces thingy) does not mean anything else is UNAPPROVED and illegal...right? As long as it still meets the basic requirements. The law is worded so that if you meet these requirements the firearm is not subject to NFA: Is PGO, and is greater than 26" in length.
Does it matter if it came from the Mossberg factory, Remington Factory? Black Aces Factory?? Does it matter if its a Shockwave Technologies branded grip? Does it matter if its made of wood? Resin? G10? Plastic? Dried up Playdough? Elk Antler? No, at least it shouldn't.
Or am I totally off base here?
