Not really a good idea, unless you have an NFA SBR stamp.

With the barrel length measured from the front to the detach point of the stock it would be over 16 inches and should be considered a normal rifle - kind of like these. Originally Posted by AcesandEights

I have read that the feds say a stock would make it a rifle and it must have at least a 16" barrel.
Yes, it is a novelty item and I'm not thinking about a stock right now. Maybe later.

I have a Browning Hi Power with the slot in the backstrap for a stock. If you buy one vintage with a stock it is legal, from what I've read, but if you own the pistol, and buy a stock separately you need the federal stamp. Originally Posted by Panama60

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Depends on the age of the pistol, whether it's an NFA firearm or not.
Also, regarding a 'sawed off shotgun'...the GCA has the verbiage of '...smooth bore...'Last edited by AcesandEights; 10-25-2016 at 08:56 PM.

That's not the pic you posted, originally. You initially posted a 5" Gov't model length barrel.

Correct but he was going to add a 16" barrel to the 1911. Since I couldn't find a picture of a 1911 with a stock and a 16" barrel I showed this as a 1911 with carbine upper. Originally Posted by AcesandEights

Let us know how it shoots, I've been looking at one of these for a while now. Originally Posted by Cincinnatus
