Minimum legal length without federal paperwork is 18" barrel and 26" overall. It is recommended to go with 18.5" and 26.5" for safety. You can find out more at the BATFE web site.

Did Hopkins and Allen make a short-barreled shotgun?

Short barreled shotgun is actually a legal term- it means a shotgun that has barrels less than 18 inches, or an overall length of less than 26". To my knowledge, H&A did NOT make a short barreled shotgun. Information is thin- they went out of business about 1914-1916, but all listings I have seen are for 28 inch barrels.

According to the BATF you can own a "Short-Barreled Shotgun". You must either: (1) By transfer after approval by ATF of a registered weapon from its lawful owner residing in the same State as the transferee. (2) By obtaining prior approval from ATF to make NFA firearms. [27 CFR 479.62-66 and 479.84-86 ] A $200 tax stamp must be paid to the BATF NFA division. All info from the BATF website.
