I cannot find a definitive answer anywhere, including on ATF's site. The two examples that come to my mind are AK47 and Crickett .22s. While disassembled for cleaning or replacing the stocks of these two firearms in particular, the OAL is less than 26". From the ATF's site,
"A firearm, as defined by 26 U.S.C. 5845(a)(4), is made when a handgun or other weapon with an overall length of less than 26 inches, or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length, is assembled or produced from a weapon originally assembled or produced only as a rifle."
So, my question is, how would one legally replace the stock on either of these? What am I missing?
