As @Wiliamr posted above, make sure the barrel is actually 16" because 15-7/8" will get your ass in hot water.
As a previous poster stated: You can convert a handgun into a rifle but not a rifle into a handgun.
In your case adding a should stock to your long barreled revolver should be fine.
Now as I understand it you CANNOT convert it back into a handgun. It must stay in longgun configuration once converted. In your case the 16" barrel is factory so IMO you're walking on the thin line with it.
Its a stupid rule but it is the rule and Mr.ATFman can be a dick about such things.
There was a special exemption granted for the T/C Contender but you still couldn't have the gun configured with a buttstock and a short <16" barrel on the receiver at the same time.
Assuming that the firearm was originally a pistol, the resulting firearm, with an attached shoulder stock, is not an NFA firearm if it has a barrel of 16 inches or more in length.
Pursuant to ATF Ruling 2011-4, such rifle may later be unassembled and again configured as a pistol. Such configuration would not be considered a “weapon made from a rifle” as defined by 26 U.S.C. § 5845(a)(4).
[26 U.S.C. § 5845, 27 CFR § 479.11]
Ok, so what do ya'll think? Should I make my own? Or buy one of these?
Not worth the time to make your own for $70.
Go for it.
oh i dont think those are "finished" when i saw them first thing i thought was a good sand/polish/stain was in order. hadn't really thought about changing the shape, but working it into a quasi kentucky long rifle stock would look awesome i think. would have to find a pattern or something as my artisitc skills are limited to say the least. id have trouble drawing an AR A2 style stock with a ruler, ive got a decent collection of sandpaper though.
lay the ocd on me bud i can take it. care to recommend some decent tools? maybe a little above harbor freight tier i really dont know what im looking for in a rasp and i probably should ruin another on the wife's cheese graters.
