You must be a redneck if..............

[asquires2]

I had a vision today and lets see what you guys think of it . I posted a thread a couple days ago about on legal handgun loads. Well today this hit me , lets say I have a rifle laying around in say 7mm 08. In the state of Indy thats illegal to hunt deer with in a rifle configuration . So instead of saving my pennies to buy a legal handgun I send the rifle barrel out to be cut down and recrowned and have a aftermarket pistol grip made for it to make it a legal handgun to hunt deer with . Would I be considered a redneck ?

Yep and an Illegal redneck at that.

Would I be considered a redneck ?

Yes, and its something to be proud of!


EDIT: FOR BEING HUMBLY WRONG

I think that for a gun to be considered a pistol, it has to have originally been manufactured as a pistol.

I have a 7mm TCU Custom Bolt action Pistol... originally.

SBR

I thought there was some rule about if it ever had a rifle stock on it that it couldn't be converted to a shorter barrel with a pistol grip on it. Not sure if it would classed as a SBR or an AOW...

*wanders through the depths of IN Code and hopes one of the NFA guys finds it first*

SBR

Thats a rifle not a pistol.

When you take a rifle, cut it down and put a pistol grip stock on it, you are not actually making a pistol. You are building a short barreled rifle. Whole new set of rules.

edit: the guns posted above where never rifles. They are funny looking pistols.

Now you're talking about making an SBR(that in this case happens to look like a pistol), using it to hunt with, and hoping you don't ever get caught.

 

[Andre46996]

To busy checking out porn to look for IN code just do whatever RNM says then when DNR or the feds pop you tell them some guy on the internet said it was OK.

 

[Seancass]

There is so such thing as making a pistol out of a rifle. It's all called making an SBR!

 

[Scutter01]

Once a rifle, always a rifle.

You can make a rifle out of a pistol, but a rifle cannot be made into a pistol (only an SBR).

 

[Seancass]

Then again, the rules only apply if you get caught.

*sarcasm*

 

[redneckmedic]

Customizing a rifle action and barrel with a pistol stock makes it a SBR?

 

[Pami]

Customizing a rifle action and barrel with a pistol stock makes it a SBR?

If it ever had a rifle stock on it, yes.

 

[Andre46996]

If it ever had a rifle stock on it, yes.

Actually to take that further... even if you just purchased an action or barreled action if it was sold as a RIFLE it will always be a RIFLE!!

 

[Scutter01]

Then again, the rules only apply if you get caught.

And that rule includes a ten year stint in a federal hotel. And discussing it publicly shows intent.

 

[Seancass]

Well, there are more rules for the specifics. I hope i have my numbers rigtht: If you put a pistol grip stock on it and it's still over 26" long total, then you have not yet made a pistol EVEN IF it looks like one. If you cut the barrel and it's still over 16" long, it's still a rifle. If you cut the barrel, put a new stock on it and it's shorter than 26" overall or less than 16" of barrel, then you have an SBR. If you have rifle with a 16" barrel and it is 26"+ even with a pistol grip stock, it's still a rifle and you're all legal. (well, still illegal to hunt deer with)

I hope some part of that made sence.

And that rule includes a ten year stint in a federal hotel. And discussing it publicly shows intent.

But Boss, I've been saying it's illegal the whole time without ever expressing interest in pursuing it.

There needs to be a sarcasm symbol.
