Revolver with a Rifle like stock

Greguw · May 26, 2008, 08:11 PM

Hey guys , I was at a local gun shop they had a custom stock for a redhawk ... it had a rifle back stock with a pistol grip .
It was complete set , stock , 44 redhawk in 7 1/2 barrel and scope .
The stock was pretty comfortable , looked like someone spent some time building and designing .
Would this stock make your revolver a SBR and fall under NFA rules ?

Thanks guys

Yes.

Unless it was one of the "hold-on"-style stocks, where you grip both the revolver and a stub or pocket on the stock at the same time, and it's your hand holding the two together; if it's a "screw-on" style stock, then that makes the revolver a "short-barreled rifle". You didn't really expect it to make any sense, did you?

As you described yes NFA short barrel rifle, Black powder firearms are not regulated and they can have stock.

Yes it is kind of retarted , the gun shop owner has no clue or just playing dumb . The package is fairlly cheap , I may go back and pick up the gun , I can get the whole package for 375 .

Thanks for the heads up .
