    Well, on the show, she just took it somewhere and had it fabricated.
    Since there was no mention of waiting, or a tax stamp, I presumed things were different somehow.

    Did the stock actually sit against her shoulder? Seems strange that a broke. Shoulder would require a stock placed against said shoulder.

    There've been some strange work arounds, such as a glock attachment meant to rest against the chin.

    Also, depending on the age of the revolver it may have been legal to mount a stock without requiring the SBR paperwork. Not positive on this but I think I read about it being related to curios and relics. Hopefully somebody can prove me right or wrong.

    Black powder guns also don't fall under the SBS/SBR rules. (Meaning muzzle loading types, I don't know that a black powder era cartridge pistol would get the same treatment)

    Well, I don't recall exactly, but wouldn't just adding the stock be illegal?

    Not if they could argue that it wasn't actually a shoulder stock and not intended to be fired from the shoulder.

    ATF defines rifle as "The term “Rifle” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder....", short barrel rifles are defined by using "rifle" as reference, so they are intended to be fired from the shoulder.

    A "stock" that is intended to rest against a different part of the body than the shoulder isn't technically a rifle, or short barreled rifle.

    That's IF the .gov doesn't decide a shoestring is a machine gun...I mean, a chin stock is a shoulder stock. The above also clarifies why the ATF says shouldering a Sig Brace creates an SBS on what was previously a pistol.

    I got a J Stevens .22 RF Tip UP but I don't know the exact model designation or date range of manufacture. It looks in good shape but all it says is..

    J Stevens Arms
    Chicopee Falls Mass

    It has matching serial numbers on frame and barrel but not much else. 8 Inch Barrel and nice wood grips.

    More info would help identify this new purchase. I traded some repair work on a Jaguar conv. for this and the customer always has something interesting.

    Tell me something if you have info.

    Bought ANOTHER ONE today but this one has a 10" barrel. The one in the pic has the 8" barrel.

    The 8" barrel model 35 was $200 but the 10" is a lot nicer and was $250. The 10" still has most of it's case hardened finish and the screws look UNTOUCHED.

    Ginger heathens lacking flintlock skills should refrain from dissing.

    Besides......everyone knows it'll be a BSA. LoL.
