Had the gun been under .50 bore, Mossberg could have built a short barrel version with NO WAY TO SHOULDER the weapon and sold it as a pistol. The serial number will come back as a "hand gun" and if you ever mount a shoulder stock on the "pistol" than you now have a short barrel weapon...

But if it has a bore in excess of .50 inches than it ain't possible since a "handgun" has to be .50 or less.

So short answer... Mossberg sells shotguns with 18+ inch barrel to us americans... stock don't matter...
