First I will qualify my question... I am not a kid wanting a tacticool toy...
I am a 43 year old guy with a true niche to fill. I need this to dispatch trapped animals. My Gamo 1,000 fps air rifle is plenty powerful for this. I don't like the idea of buying a pistol when I already have this rifle and I no longer chase tree rats with it as I prefer to poke the shotgun out the door.

So if my air rifle is not federally a "firearm" is it free from NFA restrictions?
Am I free to cut the barrel and stock down to any lengths?
This would be nice for the few times per year I would need a one handed nearly muzzle contact use.
