The Serbu Super-Shorty is a compact, stockless, pump action shotgun chambered in 12-gauge (2+3⁄4 and 3"). The basic architecture of most of the production models is based on the Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun, with Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 receivers also available. The shotgun features a spring-loaded, folding foregrip. A 20-gauge model is also available on special order.
Weapon Classification
In the United States, the Super-Shorty is classified as "Any Other Weapon'' (AOW). Civilian ownership transfers of the shotgun previously required a $5 tax stamp, and registration as an AOW to be in compliance with the National Firearms Act until the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and subsequent lawsuits. As the weapon is originally manufactured without a shoulder stock, it is considered a smooth-bore handgun, and thus an AOW, rather than a short-barrelled shotgun. The Super-Shorty has been sold to various foreign customers, including the King of Jordan, Abdullah II.
== History == The Original Serbu Super-Shorty was first made by Mark Serbu for a friend in 1998 and was based on the receiver of a Mossberg 590. It officially became sold by Serbu's company the same year.
