Good afternoon everyone,
A dealer told my friend he could cut down the barrel on his ak rifle, remove the stock and replace it with an arm brace, because he was turning it into a pistol. To my knowledge, this is incorrect and illegal. It was my understanding that you cant turn a rifle into a pistol just by chopping the barrel and pulling the stock. The configuration seems like it falls under the weapon made from a rifle category, and would require the $200 tax stamp.
Am I missing something, or is this dealer setting a lot of people up to get in trouble?
Thanks,
Devin
