Howdy pards,
I am going to take the advice here and first get a letter from the ATF about the configuration.
I have a second question though. If some states do measure using the folded weapon, I wouldn't mind machining a non-foldable stock. Either or, getting the federal tax stamp. It's price is less than a Kirst cylinder.

The way I'm envisioning the pistol grip on the loading lever, you may be in for a surprise if you actually use it.

The pistol grip would be a separate machined block of aluminum or steel and attached by swivel to the "webbing" of the loading lever. So when the grip is not in use, it can be folded under the barrel. The loading lever itself is not the pistol grip lol
But if I do build a non-folding stock instead of getting the stamp, would the loading lever-mounted folding pistol grip be OK? Because in this case, the length of the carbine would be an original 35 inches, barrel 18 inches.
BTW, the NFA of 1935 and the GCA of 1968 are perhaps two of the most weirdest laws ever passed.
