Glock with 16" Barrel

[Mr. Meeseeks]

That's what I figured.

Eh, no fun.

i'm still confused does mech tech have a letter from the atf that says you can revert it back to a pistol without making a sbr?

I've asked them twice and got one response.

Hello Jack - interesting - I will have to look into this and maybe you can too.
Thanks

I am interested in your product, but have some questions.

Do you have any info that documents that you can convert a pistol into a
rifle and back to a pistol legally. I am aware of ATF's position that once
you convert the pistol into a rifle, if a less than 16" barrel is placed on
it, regardless of the stock, that it is now an Short-barreled rifle, since
it would have been made from a rifle. Basically, once a rifle, always a
rifle. They do not hold the Thompson Contender ruling to apply to any other
firearms, since it did not specifically rule on the converting back and
forth, just that the collection of parts did not constitute an SBR since
there was a legal method to use all the parts, such as, assemble as a pistol
or a rifle. They did not get into pistol>rifle>pistol questions.

So, if you have any documentation confirming that pistol>rifle>pistol is
legal that you can forward, I'd appreciate it so that I can purchase one of
your carbine conversions.

Thanks, Jack

My reply with pics olinks to the letters that say pistol>rifle>pistol creates an SBR has not been replied to in the last week.

Would I have to lock the mag to legally use one of these?

correct, fixed mag and must be 30+" OAL. Only time I think that becomes a problem is with a folding stock.

Was looking on http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Products.aspx?CAT=146 and they have a IGB 16" barrel for Glock. Now just for discussion and cause i found it funny, would this be CAL legal? Would it now be considered a long arm? And if it has the butt stock would it be legal to run a High Cap mag with it, saying that you had the mag pre band, because it only has one "evil" feature? And last does anyone have an idea how it would change 9 mm ballistics and muzzle velocity?

That just doesn't look right

Found a pretty cool video with the stock in use.

We may have an out, after all a rifle is a shoulder fired weapon. Judging by "Dangerous Bob's" use this Glock is actually an armpit fired weapon.

i'd get one just for ****s and giggles. rather get whqt i really want first unless this is relatively cheap and want a "what the !*#@%!$& #$!! is that!!!??" conversation piece.

Remember the golden rule of firearms when considering 16" Glock barrels, or Glock based AR looking thing-a-ma-doers; just because you legally can, does in no way mean that you should.

Those are some of the dumbest contraptions I've ever seen.
