Without it being classified as a Short Barreled Rifle under BATFE guidelines, it must be at least 26 inches in length, with a barrel length of at least 16 inches. In instances where the stock is designed to be easily detached, the measurement is taken from end to end with the stock detached.

It depends.. if you have a carbine length barrel and will be using it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then yes. If you took it from a rifle with a rifle length barrel, and are putting it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then it won't function properly.

If a stock on a 22 rimfire rifle is cut off for a pistol grip can the barrel be shortened to pistol length?

Probably not a good idea. A rifle barrel has to be 16 inches. There is an overall legal length as well. If you have any doubt call your local police or sheriffs department. Getting caught with an illegal .22 can be as serious as getting caught with an illegal machine gun.


Is the FN PS90 Legal in California andor New York?

No but there are kits to make it legal. The hurdles involved in rendering the PS90 California-legal are: * The forward stock protrusion under the barrel could be considered a forward pistol grip. * The owner's manual states that the device on the front of the barrel is a flash hider. * The thumbhole stock is a restricted feature. * Overall length of the rifle is around 26", which is fine by federal law, but not for a semi-automatic centerfire rifle in California.

How do you take a navy arms international country boy 50 cal. gun apart to do maintance?

I am not familiar with a Navy Arms Country Boy rifle- but if by chance you have a Navy Arms Country HUNTER .50 caliber muzzleloader, they are pretty much a traditional muzzle loading rifle. Remove ramrod, draw back the hammer, tap the retaining wedge pins out of the stock, then lift barrel out of the stock. Right there is a good place to stop. You can check with Navy Arms customer service through their website to see if a manual is available for your rifle. Also check to see if this rifle uses a removable breechplug. Some black powder rifles have a non-removable breech plug.
