If you install a rifled barrel in a 12-guage shotgun, then I think you do have a 12-guage rifle.

This fact, however, in no way suggests that the reporter knew what he was talking about.

with a slug barrel, its still considered a shotgun as it is still designed to use plastic shotshells.
else, it would be a .729 calibre rifle, which too big. i believe it would have to be registered as a DD.
