Last winter, a member posted the following here:

" I have a Taurus Circuit Judge and was wondering if any of you could tell me if it would still be considered, by the ATF, a pistol or a short barrel rifle, if I cut the barrel down to less than 16 inches and replaced the shoulder stock with a pistol grip."

Ok, my question is just the opposite: I simply want to remove the rifle stock and replace it with the "Judge" pistol grip. I want to leave the barrel alone and legal.

It's my understanding that as long as the weapon is a minimum of 26 inches in length in this configuration, I'm legal.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!
