The 17" barrel is what is in question.

EDITI took some measurements, length with stock folded is 29 inches, barrel length seems to be the shortest legal length 18 inches

Remember, this is the group that classified a shoestring to be a machinegun. I got a letter to prove it.

Hkmp5sd,
That makes two. Thanks for sharing the letter. I'd like to see how the shoestring trick actually works. If a shoestring 14" long, looped at each end is sold as a gun part, apparently ATF would consider it contraband. I wonder if these ATF opinions ever get retracted and corrected or amended.

Hkmp5sd,
I notice the date stamp of 2007 on the clarification letter. The attempt to clarify the original opinion is reassuring to the extent that I can legally posses shoestrings. The clarification as it is worded however is specific only regarding shoestrings. It might have been more meaningful if the clarification addressed "any" device. a bungee cord, a lever, etc. to enhance cycling of the firearm, the exception being the use of one's finger to pull a trigger.
