If anyone has any additional info I would greatly appreciate it. Last edited by OBXEJC; 05/06/16 02:34 PM.

That appears to qualify as an illegal assault firearm under New Jersey law (which I'm familiar with) and might under Maryland law (which I'm not familiar with, but which probably bans "street sweeper" type shotguns, i.e. those with a rotary magazine). As a semi-auto, even moreso. fiery, dependable, occasionally transcendent
