Is It legal to put a stock on a pistol in Indiana?

[Hexa-Tula]

I was just wonder the question above. I see them for sale on the internet, but didn't think that was legal? Any help?

For the most part that makes an unregistered Short Barreled Rifle. There are some exceptions, though. The two that come to my mind quickly are the Browning (Inglis) Hi-Power and the Mauser C96 (Broomhandle). Some of them were designed to have a stock attached from the factory and they are both considered more of a collecable than anything and are excepted as far as I know.

An accessory for sale doesn't mean that using it is legal. Search under the NFA section for more details about manufacturing and registering a short barrel rifle. They can be made legal, but requires paperwork.

In the case of a Broomhandle, it's only legal with an original stock. A reproduction stock would make it an illegal SBR. It's all clear as mud...

Sure is... only after you form 1 it (SBR), pay the $200 tax, wait for the paperwork to be approved and get your stamp.

Yep, it would be a rifle. Picture the carbine conversion kits available for the 1911 and the Glock. Same deal.

Just make sure you change the barrel before adding the stock. Reverse the order for converting back to pistol.

I thought if it originally came with the stock slot repro's were ok?

There are also some Lugers that can use stocks without being a SBR.

I'm glad to see this topic posted. I'm thinking of adding a underfolder stock onto my draco ak 47 pistol.
