Start here . Everything you need ,straight from the horses mouth.

Fill out the form 1's, get em signed by law enforcement, and get fingerprinted, send them, certification of citizen ship forms, and fingerprint cards in, along with a $200 check, wait 3 months or so. After paperwork comes back, drill that stupid pin, and you are sbred.

thanks for the quick replys and the link. i ordered the forms on line. i may need help on filling them out, if i do you will here from me . thanks again.

[Guest coldblackwind]

They are suprisingly straight forward. Very little legalese, and its pretty clear who fills what out, and what you fill it out with. I paid hero gear to do my first form one, but Joe actually tried to talk me out of it because of the simplicity.

i had a guy on another forum tell me i could not build it because it was sold as a pistol.

[Capbyrd]

A pistol can be converted into a rifle but a rifle cannot be made into a pistol.

[dou44]

that is what i thought, i have saw them for sell before. there is one on gb now.

A pistol can be converted into a rifle but a rifle cannot be made into a pistol.

The exception is the Thompson encore/contender. It is exempt for this.

talked to another guy and he has his stamp for it and it is in a shop now getting the stock fixed to work.

[Guest coldblackwind]

Pretty sure all you have to do to make the stock work on those is drill out the roll pins they welded in. I looked mine over real close when I first got it, and it looks as though everything is there, they just drilled it, installed roll pins, then welded them in place.

i ordered a kit from sportsman guide to see how everything works, but i saw pictures of another one and it was like mine. the push button hole is not drilled out for the button to go into. it is only drilled big enough for the pin to go through it and the spring is also not on the pin. if you look the button is just sitting on top and the pin is flattened in side on the latch to not let it move.
