Many .410 pistols such as the Crescent Certified, Crescent Auto & Burglar, Crescent Victor Ejector Pistol, and H&R Handy-Gun were effectively legislated out of production by the National Firearms Act of 1934. Under NFA-34, these firearms became classified as a restricted 'Any Other Weapon' and require special licensing similar to a machine gun. Those guns that were not registered with the federal government at that time, or during a subsequent amnesty period, can not now be registered and are illegal to possess or sell. Newer handguns that can chamber and fire the .410 shotgun shell, such as the Thompson-Center Contender, legally do so by having a rifled barrel. This allows the firearm to remain classified as a pistol. If they were smoothbore like a shotgun, they would have to be classified as 'Any Other Weapon' and be registered with the government at the time of manufacture. So, to answer your question specifically, if your gun has a smooth bore (no rifling) and a barrel less than 18" long, or an overall length of less than 26", and is NOT registered with the appropriate BATF tax stamp it is an illegal firearm. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Can you install a pistol grip on a savage 350 shotgun?

If you are speaking of having only a pistol grip & not a stock, the answer is NO. If you wish to add a pistol grip & have the stock on at the same time, the answer is maybe, it is a matter of how much gunsmithing you wish to pay for. In general, a good gunsmith can do anything if you have the money and it is legal. lcj
