ROA detachachable shoulder stock

[elhombreconnonombre]

Question for the pards:
Given the fact that the ROA is a modern "interpretation" as opposed to a replica of a bp revolver that existed in the 19th century, does putting a detachable shoulder stock on it make it an SBR or is doing so aok regulation-wise?

I think it would with a cartridge conversion, but not with the original BP cylinder. All the Italian repo's out there are made of modern steel, and quite a few of them didn't exist in the old days, like the Pietta 1862 Police which is a six shooter that ought to be a five shooter [so the manufacturer can build it on the Navy frame] and ought to be called an 1861 Navy, but it's all a moot point, since there's no such stock made.

So long as the revolver remains in a cap & ball configuration and can't fire fixed (metallic) ammunition, the answer is "no". Some state or local laws may say otherwise, but I don't believe that Texas is one of them.

Federal law is one thing but it would be an sbr under some state laws.

Actually, with some minor machine work and a longer hammer screw with American threads the Italian shoulder stock versión of the 1859 Colt patent detachable shoulder stock that uses the hammer screw and bottom grip hook attachment would appear to work just Fine. I was just wondering about the regs.

What BHP FAN says. It's OK to do so long as the cap 'n ball cylinder is on it, but if the stock is attached, don't ever put a 45 LC conversion cylinder on it. Club Federales is only good when you're eighty, broke and need free health care and housing.
