Will Henry Homesteader without a stock be considered a errrr... "handgun"?

[u/Sad-Stop-2401]

So apparently, Henry Homesteader with just Nuemann Metalworks adapter and a pistol grip is very much a functional gun, sans butt-stock. It is even of NR length (27+ inches). It only misses a butt stock.

If we keep it in that configuration, will it be legal?

The only issue I see is objection is that argument can be made that since it is missing a butt stock, it has been altered to fire with one hand, ergo it is a handgun and no longer a rifle. Similar to how Taurus Judge Home Defender is considered as a handgun. This is ofcourse hypothetical argument.

Any one has insights in this?

If original owner of pic objects, I will remove it.

It's still a rifle, you're fine.
