according to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqXfRML-VK0, I can have a detachable magazine if I do these:
1. get a thread protector
2. get a grip wrap
3. no telescoping stock
4. no vertical forward grip

is this correct?

For a rifle, yes. For a pistol, no. I could be wrong, but I think you are $h1+ outta luck on the Charger, because there’s really no way to turn it into a fixed magazine gun.

ah right, for rifles .
is there a specific barrel length that differentiates a pistol from a rifle?

In general, a pistol doesn't have a stock and has a barrel length less than 16-inches. A rifle has a stock. A firearm with a stock and a barrel shorter than 16-inches in length, is a short-barreled rifle.
