sch.4-sec.8 Single or double barrel shotgun

A single or double barrel shotgun may be modified to make it permanently incapable of being discharged by doing all of the following— boring a hole, approximately 60% of the bore size, just forward of the chamber (or chambers); inserting a close fitting steel plug of the length of the chamber in the chamber (or chambers) and welding at the breech; completely breaking off, grinding off or removing the firing pins, or welding them to the receiver; welding the trigger to the receiver; welding the breech lever to the receiver; welding the barrel or the barrel lug, with a substantial weld, to the receiver to prevent the barrel opening; if the shotgun has exposed hammers—welding the hammers to the side plates or the receiver.
