Really wanted a APC9 or GHM9 but alas, prohib.

So I turned my 1970s 10/22 into the closest thing. 26inch OAL without comp.

How is this not prohibited?

Firearms adapted from a rifle or shotgun, whether by sawing, cutting or any other alteration, and that, as so adapted are:

  • less than 660 mm in length
- 660 mm or greater in length and has a barrel less than 457 mm in length

You changed barrel length to under 457 mm?

Because same mag is designed for a handgun too? Otherwise it should be unlimited right?

My understanding is that alteration is key. If you cut the barrel and the stock = right to jail.

However if you assemble a firearm using factory parts, that have not been altered, then its okay. Has this been tested, lol idk. But that is what Ive heard.

Changing the barrel to a shorter one is adaptation, right? Law says adapted from a rifle or shotgun?
