Ok guys i always here you fellows talking about how bad it would be even for one second to have a barrel shorter than 16" attached to the frame along with a stock. But really now what officer in there right mind is going to arrest you for this violation; i mean if you are commiting a serious crime with such a combination i could see where this might get added in along with the rest of your charges. But all I'm sayin is i don't see any harm in attaching a barrel less that 16" to the frame with a stock. I mean at the most i think the officer would inform you that its illegal to have this firearm arranged that way and tell you to fix it. But mostly i really can't see any kind of officer giving you any problems solely because your barrel is to short, i mean afterall its illegal while driving to make a right hand turn without giving the proper turning signal but we still do it everyday and i haven't gotten a ticket for it yet, and certainly haven't been arrested for it. :wink:
