Another link...

^^^ Erno86, your link does not seem to work for me, but this link works:

Confirmed.

Has anyone seen a "Fabryka Bronie Radom, Model Onyks 89S, 5.45x39 caliber semi-automatic pistol"?

FrankenMauser Sharkbite.... note the "with very few exceptions" disclaimer in the text you quoted. The TC 'kits' you refer to are one of those very rare exceptions (specific artillery Lugers being another). You can't do it with just any handgun.

The ATF has opined, many times, that turning other "handguns" into rifles is a permanent change.
For example, you can't buy an AR or AK pistol, turn it into a rifle for a few years, and then legally revert to 'handgun' configuration.
Unless it is on the 'exceptions' list.... Once a rifle, always a rifle - even if it started life as a handgun.

Uhhhh...............where you been since July 2011?

If you were here with the rest of us you would have known about this little ruling from ATF that reverses everything you said above.

It was a milestone for TC. It didn't help anyone else.

And you would be very, very wrong.
