If You're talking about a shotgun that was originally sold as a shotgun with a stock and everything (like 99.99% of shotguns are) then the magic number is 18".
Your barrel can't be less then 18" without a stamp or violating NFA laws There's no tricks or loopholes around it.

How is a shockwave legal than the barrel is 14.5 in and that’s more less what I want but I want a single shot and shorter
And also again if I put a pistol brace or take the brace off an ar it’s perfectly fine why is it different here if I don’t have a brace
*ATF has entered the chat*
because it never had a stock.
Once again, just my understanding: the Shockwave skirts the rules because it never came with a stock and hence is classified as a “firearm” and not a “shotgun”. A shotgun according to the ATF has a stock and a barrel longer than 18 inches. You can’t change your firearms classification without a tax stamp.
Just to be safe, I wouldn’t cut it shorter than 18 inches or else the ATF may snipe your wife.
Because they were not built from the factory with a stock. The receiver was never a shotgun as defined by the NFA.
You can buy a shockwave (or others pistol grip only style shotgun) or a virgin shotgun receiver and then an overall length of 26" becomes the magic number but you can't put a stock on it.
This is the important part, read it slowly,
If your shotgun was originally built as a shotgun from the manufacturer (ATF can confirm this by make/model/serial number) then 18 inches is as short as you can cut the barrel without a stamp or violating NFA laws.
There is no loophole to this^
it was never classified as a "shotgun."
