Why? </div></div>Don't get me wrong, I think it's BA as hell. But I also had this question when I first saw it. Does it fulfill some niche or is it just unique (which is fine by me, to each his own)
I did a pistol because the stock was available and because I had a 458 barrel with a bad chamber and it measured 17" with the chamber cut off. I purchased the reamer from PTG on the shot show special and chambered the barrel for the Socom. Total investment under $250.00 without the action
What action did you use and was it always a pistol action?
I'm asking because I was under the impression that making a pistol out of a rifle action (one that was previously a rifle) is illegal -- at least requires a SBR stamp. Am I wrong?
Note that I'm not suggesting you did anything illegal -- just asking...
Short barreled rifle (SBR) is a legal designation in the United States, referring to a shoulder-fired, rifled firearm with a barrel length of less than 16 inches (40.6 cm) or overall length of less than 26 inches (66.0 cm).

The question was where this weapon was a pistol or a registered SBR.
I believe that if you take an action that was once used for a rifle and turn it into a pistol an approval letter from the ATF is required. When I was going through gunsmithing school a guy wanted to build a mauser pistol and he got the approval letter. I remember it being a pretty simple task but it legally had to be done. I wasnt 100% involved so I may be incorrect with some of my info.
any fresh from the manufacturer action can be entered into your books as either a pistol or a rifle, after that time it is whatever it is recorded in the book as.
so if you have a fresh action that goes into your book as a pistol action, then thats what you have. The manufacturer shipping them generally has the bare actions distinguished as "action only" in their logbook.
