Not necessarily. An 8 bore would be perfectly legal as a Title 1 firearm if the SecTreas found it was to have a sporting purpose. This is why a 12 gauge shotgun isn't illegal, unless it's one like the USAS-12 or Cobray "streetsweeper", which have been found not to have sporting purposes. A side by side 8-bore would most likely be found to have a sporting purpose, but a semi-auto 8-bore with a fifty round magazine capacity wouldn't. Of course, if the semi-auto 8-bore was registered as a DD, it WOULD be legal, but the transfer procedure would be the same as for a MG.
