[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2886032, member: 94420"] How do you find that out? How is a LEO going to know it was originally a rifle in the field? Is there a readily available database for this information for the laymen? Did T/C clearly mark the frame as Pistol or Rifle? My bet is if it looks like a duck, walks and quacks like a duck, it's a duck to the LEO in the field. However, this is not legal advice in any form to you or the OP. Nor am I advocating breaking the law in anyway. In US v. T/C, SCOUTS said the rule of lenity applied as the law was deemed ambiguous. I realize this case was for converting pistols to carbines. However, if the information (originally sold as pistol, rifle, or frame) isn't made available by manufacturer or regulatory agencies can the end user know they are doing something illegal? [/QUOTE]
