stockstradr: I want to say 16″ is the shortest legal length in California, but I might be wrong.

That Browning is a beaut. I used to own a Browning Superposed Magnum (over and under) in 12ga back when I shot sporting clays. They make nice stuff. Pricey, but nice.

I think you can check with local law enforcement and they’ll tell you what the legal length is.
