Since you plan on doing the same, adding rifling to the barrel will not in any way get you off the hook with the BATFmen The reason the Serbu shorty is an NFA is because they started off with a shotgun receiver. So does anyone know of an easy way to put rifling in a smooth bore shotgun barrel?"

It would be possible to cut grooves in the bore without the twist by hand cranking the lathe carriage to pull the cutter. You could also add a large gear train to a lathe to achieve the relationships needed to get rifling of the proper pitch. It would be possible to add a sine bar device to a lathe but a lot of work. Then you need some kind of machine that will pull the rifling cutter and rotate the barrel or the cutter in a synchronized manner. Rifle barrels are reamed (and sometimes lapped) to achieve this state.

Regarding rifling the smoothbore, the first step would be making sure the bore is truly cylindrical without any choke.
