Since it is not the tip of the barrel/muzzle, a rod or bayonet would be a no-go.

CA case laws (People v Stinson) have established...
The "overall length" of a rifle by measuring in a single straight line, either from the tip of the barrel to the back of the stock or from the tip of the barrel to a point just above the back of the stock, rather than in two straight lines, first along the barrel and then down the long side of the stock.

Thanks. I don't recall ever seeing that before. Still, it would not be hard to fashion a clamp on muzzle device or a stock extension to make length.

Silly question, won't it be considered a short barrel rifle when using the shoulder stock? And isn't it an AW if you don't fix the mag because it feeds from other than the grip? Just asking.

C&R exempt for SBR/SBS in most states. Under ATF it is exempt. The only NFA guns that go not qualify for C&R exemption federally are full autos and silencers AFAIK. OP is not in CA.

The magazine IS fixed on a broomhandle. IT loads form the top

There do exist detachable mag brooms, mostly from China rebuilt from full auto 712 parts into semis. I have one- it's a RAW.

Like I said, silly question, guess I have a lot more to learn about C&R's

That is a super nice rig!! It has the perfect amount of wear, to show it's authenticity.

I'd love to see him reloading ten C96's with stripper clips in a moving airplane while being shot at.

My guess is that the picture is relatively early in WWI. They were still trying to shoot at other planes with handguns and a few primitive semi-auto rifles. That little contraption, which is, indeed, California legal, would have been a major step up. And considering that the time in which another plane would likely have been in range, I don't think reloading was as much of an issue. Besides, even if he only reloaded 2-3 of them, it would still be better than nothing.

Speaking of reloading..... Does anyone have an idea of when and/or where this ammo was made? A friend gave it to me yesterday and he had no idea of where it came from.

BTW, the box was open when I got it.

SBP = Sellier & Bellot, Prague

It is probably corrosive, so clean accordingly.

Thanks, I am not going to shoot it, most likely just use it for photo opportunities.
