[QUOTE="MachV, post: 342184, member: 93"] [B][I]2. Being designated as a rifle no amount of money nor is there paperwork available for converting it into a handgun. It is also a Federal crime to convert it into a handgun and the barrel length has nothing to do with it.[/I][/B] I would not be making a pistol out of it!! This will very obliviously be set up for long range shooting and not for concealment. Per BATF rules a shotgun must have a barrel of +18" and an OAL of 26", a Rifle must have +16" and be 26" OAL. So it remains a rifle as far as the feds are concerned. *Edit* There is that shoulder fired clause though=Dang I thought I had it covered, guess I'll put a call to the ATF boys down in Cheyenne for a last ditch effort to be cheap. The undesignated actions would be the safe way to go for sure but they are large shank and require a spendy stock. I've got a striker lined up and prefer going that route for barrels shorter than 16" as small shank barrels are a lot easier and cheaper to find. [/QUOTE]
