Agents bought the guns from Carter during a federal investigation of a convicted felon in 2014, according to the agency. The sawed-off shotgun was 25 inches long with a barrel length of 12 inches.
During the sale, Carter said the shotgun was “ready to go,” the news release said.
His sentence is to be followed by three years of supervised release.
