Legal Mods on Ruger Charger and 10/22 and barrel lengths and stocks...
I am still unsure of exactly what one can do legally with modifying Ruger Chargers and 10/22s when it comes to barrels (different lengths), stocks (full length and pistol grips) and the likes. I do realize that there are forms and stamps involved for some (SBR, etc...)
Basically they are the same animal; parts interchangeability and all.
Really what is the difference between taking a stock 10/22 receiver, replacing the barrel with a 10" one and placing it into a pistol stock, versus buying a Charger?
What about taking a Charger and re-barreling with a stock 10/22 barrel and putting it into a 10/22 rifle stock?
I do understand about the SBR, for example taking a Charger and changing out the pistol stock for a rifle stock, but am I missing something else here?
I realize that one is sold as a pistol, while the other is sold as a rifle; however, you can make either one either one with stock Ruger parts (unless I am really confused.)
Did Ruger basically play a semantics game and squeak by? Or am I perhaps over thinking this?
(And I do have both; Charger and 10/22.)
