Ok- for the record:
If one could locate a receiver that has not been assembled as a shotgun, it could be registered as an AOW, but the initial tax would still be $200. Subsequent transfers would be $5.
If you make a pistol from an existing shotgun it can not be registered as an AOW- it would be a "firearm made from a shotgun" with an initial and subsequent taxes of $200.
Therefore, the gun could be either an AOW, or a "Firearm," but not technically a SBS (they have a stock) unless rulings have been changed recently.
Why would anyone want a rifled 20 ga. pistol? Rifling was not mentioned.

It could be done with any shotgun receiver. The registration fee would be $200 either way- AOW or FMS. Subsequent transfer fees would be $5 AOW, or $200 FMS. I have been "planning" on doing this for years, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Not a Serbu, but here is a video of me shooting a Mossberg 500 with one hand like a pistol.... http://www.brokevw.com/onehandmagnum.wmv
The first shot was #6 dove/quail and then the 2nd shot was a 3" Magnum slug (1760 fps about 3000 ft-lbs ME).
