Question of SBR legality.

Iwas at tr range yesterday and there was a young gentleman in there with what "appeared" to be a sub-gun but in fact was a semi-auto. His main purpose at the range seemed to be trying to fool people into thinking he had a full auto by bump firing, though not very well.

At first glance it appeared to a short barreled pistol setup but when he came over to the bench I could see it had a metal wire type stock folded up and over with the butt plate resting flat against the top of the receiver.

It ahd a very WW II look to it with a stick mag coming out the side and a metal barrle shroud full of holes.

I asked him how long the barrel was and he said it was 9" and registered as a pistol. I pointed to the stock and he said that since the butt plate was actually tack welded to the top of the receiver (it was) that he was legal as a pistol.

I didnt press the point since I'm no Legal Eagle, and it isn't my business anyway. That said I AM curious though.

What say you?
