I am new to this forum and would first like to thank everyone for their posts and I thank you for all the info passed on to me. The knowledge found here is amazing!
I am interested in making an Obrez (short barreled mosin-nagant rifle with modified stock that is not shoulder fired) and I am looking for a barreled receiver. Also, I want to be able to prove that it was never constructed as a rifle or taken from a rifle. The way I understand the law: if I can prove that the barreled action was never constructed as a rifle, I can make an obrez without the classification as an SBR and the $200 tax stamp and waiting period.
Am I wrong? Please, oh HighRoad mosin gods, educate me!
Many thanks!
