I have been thinging of getting an NFA weapon for awhile and I think a good first step would be a SBR. What I wanted to do was get a 10/22 from my work (Wal-Mart) using my 10% discount and register the reciever as a SBR. I then wanted to put it in a bullpup stock from Dixie Consolidated. People have had "problems" with the DC stocks because you can't use a 16" barrel without going below the 26" OAL rule. Well, with a SBR reciever, that no longer applies to me. I could easy have a nice plinker that is under 20" long with a nice short barrel.
Now for the real questions.
1. Would it be OK for me to go with an Ruger aluminum reciever or should I pony up the money and get an aftermarket steel reciever. What would be the Pro/Con of going either way? Recomendations?
2. Stainless or blued reciever? The Ruger 10/22 receivers are all aluminum anyway, so does it make a difference?
3. I can put a pistol stock on a SBR reciever, correct? Only thing I can't do to it is add a fun switch.
4. I live in North Dakota, but my local range is in Minnesota. Could I take it over the river to the range and be OK legaly?
5. For starters I was planing on having the local class 2 dealer cut down the factory barrel (After the ATF says OK of course.) for me before I go buy a special barrel and play with the gun for a bit. Anything wrong with cutting down the factory barrel?
6. Any other advice you can give me?
Thanks.
