Not sure what you mean. If you are referring to the sawed off stock, the rifle is legal as both barrel length and overall length disqualify it as a sawed off rifle.


If I remember correctly it was at one time against the law for an individual to make a handgun from a rifle. I remember reading many years ago about the late Al Goerg making a single shot handgun from a Remington rolling block rifle and finding out he had done something illegal. I don't know if this is still the case or not, or even if it is if it is enforced. I do know I wouldn't chance running afoul with the BATF when it would have been a simple thing to sell a barreled action and a cut off stock separately.
