Maybe I should post this in the legal section - sorry mods if I'm incorrectly posting here.

Question: if you fit a stock to a Ruger MK 'X' .22 pistol it's (correct me if I'm way off here) now a SBR. But what if the original receiver at the same diameter were lengthened rearwards by 'XY' inches until it touched the shoulder ... does that turn it into a SBR? Is there a maximum length that a pistol can be and if so why? Asking because I have a new 22/45 upper left over after fitting a Pac Lite upper and thought it might make an interesting project.
 
Doesn't matter much how you get there. A shoulder-fired weapon is not a pistol and "gray areas" are risky business. Pay the $200 or don't do it.

Thanks Sam ... guessed as much. It was just a thought. Gray areas ae bad ... couldn't agree more. If I'm going to do a SBR and pay out $200 it sure won't be for this one :)
