could have been the Taurus Raging Judge 28ga (if made in Brazil, would be imported, and by any measurement is legally a DD)

The ATF reportedly visited Taurus to inform them... this could all have started from a flippant remark by an agent, frustrated because Taurus apparently doesn't have lawyers smart enough to understand the DD definition...
Or it could be a ATF agent that doesn't understand how regulations and laws have been enforced in the past. You can't assume the ATF is correct given their history of inconsistent actions and flip-flops in the past.

My understanding is that in the past the ATF ruled that the bore for for a Destructive Device is measured across the top of the lands, not across the bottom of the grooves. The rifling for a 28 gauge is .498 across the tops of the lands. That's less than the magic half inch.

The only way we'll know is to wait and see what comes out eventually.
