As long as a Cruiser has never had a shoulder stock, the barrel can be under 18"-as long as OAL remains 26"+.
They were always classified as "firearms," regardless how a dealer sold them.
My 20 Ga Cruiser would be 26" with a 16" barrel and the stock grip.
The long birdshead grips simply lengthen the rear of the gun-hence the front can be shorter.
