I've got an old NEF single shot 20 ga. I'd like to make it a big out/last case HD gun

 

Is there a list of what I can and cannot do to it somewhere?

 

I'd like to make it a little easier to maneuver should I need to use it.

You can do anything you want to a single shot as long as you don't shorten the barrel to less than 18.5 inches(18.5 accounts for ATF ability to make 18 inches into 18.5), else you may get Randy Weaver'd.

Ok. So if I wanted to cut down the butt stock a few inches I'd be ok, as long as the barrel length stays within those guide lines?

 

(Note: not looking to round if off "sawed off" style))

Barrel cannot be less than 18 inches. Overall length must be at least 26 inches or you have a big problem.  

Ok. Good to know. Like I said. I don't want to make it a sawed off, obviously. Just want to know where my limits are.

When the SHTF time comes the  rules wont matter, only the rules of engagement will count

When the SHTF, good luck with your single-shot.....

18" barrel and 26" overall length are minimum dimensions. Many shorten the barrel to 18.5 so if you ding the muzzle you can trim some off and still be legal. A little longer in OAL to remove any doubts. 17.95 and 25.95 are illegal.
