Why I don't look through Gunbroker. I would like to think chopping down an Arisaka is illegal in most civilized places.

I took his comment as more of a tongue-in-cheek dig at anyone who would cut down a perfectly good rifle like that. I don’t think he meant literally illegal.Why would you think that?
As long as the barrel length remains 16" or more and the OAL 26" or more it's perfectly legal and has been since 1934.
This just in........you can also saw off a shotgun to 18"/26"OAL.
Simple: it's a rifle. Provided it's OAL is >26" (and we know it's bbl is >16") it's not an SBR, so it's just a rifle.
Pistol's may not have rifle stocks; the opposite is not the case. Benchrest rail guns, with rifle receivers, >16"/26" dimensions, and no stock whatsoever, are rifles.

I thought about that, but not knowing what it looked like before "customization" thats just a wild guess.I took his comment as more of a tongue-in-cheek dig at anyone who would cut down a perfectly good rifle like that. I don’t think he meant literally illegal.

. and it current doesn’t have a stock installed on it, it can’t be a rifle no matter how long it is.
If the dealer put “rifle” on the 4473, that would be incorrect. That’s not a rifle, it’s a receiver.If you buy one of these 16” mini actions and put “rifle” on the 4473 before you drop it in a stock, do you have an illegal firearm? If so they couldn’t send it to a regular FFL.
