As long as the barrel is kept >16" and the OAL >26", can I chop down a bolt action shoulder stock to the point where it is a 'pistol grip' configuration?
No other pistol-like changes, just the stock-chop. No detachable magazine, no barrel less than 16 inches.
Or is this now making a pistol (albeit a really loooooonng one) out of a rifle?
Are bolt-actions subject to the AWB stuff like flash hiders vs muzzle brakes, etc?
Basically I am thinking about a 'TC Encore-ish' type project; but from a rifle and with a rifle-lenght barrel and a pistol grip.
Nevermind how silly, or ugly this idea may be: just want to be sure its legal before I think of which rifle with a cracked stock to buy.
thanks,
