Home made 20 ga "zip gun"

So , I heard of this guy has a homemade 20 ga 2 shot thing with threaded chambers at both ends, spring loader firing mechanisms at each end, Appears functional, looks to be really illegal to me- guessing I'm right/ what say ingo?

It all depends on the barrel length. There is nothing illegal about making your own shotgun.

My advice was have the guy dismantle it and dispose of it- sounds like it's pretty short, posession likely a felony- story is it dates to 1930s or there abouts

As long as the barrel is longer than 18 1/2", it's legal
