I would like to get a Ruger 10/22 and put choped stock on it to make a pistol grip. Leaving the rest of the stock (fore arm) intact.
The barrel will most likely be 18" depending on the model (there are some 16" models).
OAL will be over 28" long, I measured a 16" youth model at the gun shop with a tape measure and a "choped" pistol grip would make it about 28.5" to 29", an 18" barrel would be +2".
Now that the brady bill is up it is legal to get a pistol with a mag forward of the trigger.
The ATF def of a pistol dosen't have a barrel lenght for pistols. Has to be griped by one hand, be designed as a pistol and have a rifled bore. That was about it.
It wouldn't be a SBR, that's for sure.
AOW's are sawed off shot guns and pistols with a second grip for your other hand to hold the gun with (grasped by 2 hands = not a pistol).
Now because I want to leave the fore arm would that make it an AOW?
But I'm sure it could be held by one hand.
Would I have to cut back the fore arm to keep non NFA weapon status?
That makes me ask Are the AR pistols really just pistols?
Would a choped pistol stock 10/22 with 16"+ barrel and 28"+ OAL just make some kind of strange rifle?
It works for shot guns, buy a pistol grip, use both hands to hold it and your ready to rock. So can the same things be done for rifles?
