If anyone knows.?

What category does a pump action shotgun with a rifled barrel fall into ?

From factory build. Deer slug gun. Fires sabot slugs.

Pump action shotgun would be cat c if the magazine is 5 rounds or under and cat d if over. The barrel does not matter.

I know you was hoping it would make it a rifle but alas that is not the case. The chambering is what makes it.
