What are laws for sawed off shotguns in Virginia?

In: Firearms, State Laws, Federal Laws [Edit categories]

Answer:

Same as the federal law. Barrel not shorter than 18 inches measured from the crown of the muzzle to the mouth of the breech.
<><><>
IF the barrel is shorter than 18 inches, or the overall length less than 26 inches, it must be registered with the BATFE as a short barreled shotgun. If registered, it does not violate Virginia law.
