What's the legality of this?

it looks cool, but makes me wonder if it would become a class III weapon after the construction....

Prepared to be educated......

Legal with that long barrel on it. If you added a stock to a pistol with a factory length barrel then it's an SBR.

[Alpha13]

hmmm, interesting!

[Raoul]

That's an interesting find.

[Guest bkelm18]

Yep legal as long as the barrel is 16".

[Ghooge2008]

you MUST assemble the barrel then put the stock on after the barrel is in place. depending on where you are, and how your attitude is, you may still get harassed by an uneducated overzealous officer. if you assembled the stock before the barrel...fir a few seconds you would have an unregistered SBR...sounds rediculious...but arent most class III rules? my question is: mrsp: 369 for basic unit...which DOES NOT INCLUDE STOCk...just an "upper" and 16" barrel, the tele stock is 89.95, a quad rail is 119.95, a front grip of 16.95, for bare basic "fun" setup...so for an msrp of 595, why not have a sub2k with glock magwell and ammo, 3 hi-point 995's, of that beretta carbine, a ruger pc9, a marlin camp9 and ammo, and still have your trusty glock sidearm....I'm just sayin.

IIRC, once you install the stock, it's legally converted to a rifle and you cannot remove it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like this comes up every year or so...

Not that I want one but it is interesting.

Must not be the correct interpretation any more?

Beretta makes the same type thing for the NEOS pistol.

I don't know, but I've read some letter from BATF on some forum regarding that.

Add barrel, you have long barrel pistol.

Add stock, you have rifle.

Remove stock before barrel and you're cool. Remove barrel before stock and you can go to jail.

MEh...

Glocks for pistols, AR for everythign else!

[Red9MM]

Hmmm, Interesting....

Consider this possibility;

Glock G20, 10mm with a 15rd. magazine firing as a CCU shoulder fired carbine with a 16" barrel.

(or a 1911 framed 10mm, but with less magazine capacity)

Wonder what the chronograph would read at the muzzle of a 16.25" stainless steel, button rifled barrel ??

My 2010 Winchester ammo brochure shows the following for:

10mm Automatic, 175 grain Silvertip HP, MV=1290fps , ME=649ft/lbs from a 5 1/2" bbl. measured at the muzzle.

I suspect it would have VERY intersting results on a target, lets say a steel plate, @ 50yds. or possibly out to 100yds.

Not sure how this would translate as far as accuracy with predictable ballistics for this round, or other pistol caliber rounds, past 50 yds. or so from this CCU platform.

Could be a fun day at the range with something like this.

I know the NEOS gets through the same hole as the contender rifle/handgun combo kits. It's ok as long as the rifle is 16" barrel. As far as I know, that loophole only applies to single manufacturer "sets".
