Clyde, from my understanding in order to be classified as an AOW and transferable on the $5 stamp the shotgun must have been manufactured with a pistol grip. If the 870 left the factory with a standard shotgun stock but with a 10" barrel, or if it left as a standard 870 and has been cut down to a 10" barrel then is it a SBS (short barreled shotgun). SBS requires a $200 stamp.
I am sure that the selling dealer can let your friend know how the gun is recorded on the existing f3/4. Also keep in mind that if the gun is located out of state it will need to be transferred to a dealer in your friends state and the receiving dealer will charge a fee for handling the transaction. $75-125 seems to be going rate in this area.
