IIRC, that is why Remington marketed the XP-100 pistol before marketing the rifle version of the same action.

John & Bryndon, I got the parts. The stock had been cut for a Lyman 48 and I wonder if there is a mess under the Redfield sight. But Fred said he once replaced one of these old Redfields with a 48 and the holes worked. I know that the later Redfields won't line up right using 48 holes.
Dan Glad you got it Dan. We would be interested in your thoughts once you get it apart and have a closer look at it. As Bryndon mentioned, the little curve at the back of the grip checkering should be a clue as to who might have stocked it. John

I believe it is legal as long as the resulting firearm has a barrel at least 16" and OAL of 25" which the rifle under discussion is. Note that Ruger makes a 10-22 Charger pistol (well after the 10-22 rifle was introduced) and Contender actions I believe came with all lengths of barrels. My further understanding is that once a rifle is issued as a rifle the receiver remains a rifle and once a pistol is issued the receiver remains a pistol. Thus you can't modify a rifle into a pistol (convert a 10-22 rifle into a pistol), but you should be able to put a long barrel on a 10-22 Charger, for example (no restrictions on pistol barrel lengths). That I suspect is what caused Al Georg problems - he converted a rifle into a pistol, but that would have actually been classified as a short barreled rifle. No one ever said the regulations have to make sense.

cpa is correct on every part,except the overall lengrh has to be 26" or longer.The win.mod 92 "mares Laig", AR 15 and AK47 pistols are all issued as pistols from the factory, with serial numbers recorded as pistols. Mike

Thanks for the correction - my fingers are just too fat and sometimes hit the wrong keys, or my brain can't remember precisely.

Thanks for clarification to you both. That actually does makes sense, unlike some laws and rules.

A "butt transplant" as is done in some shotgun restorations might be applicable here.
