[quote name='uncle111' date='Apr 29 2009, 07:16 PM']Guest- if you own a P38, a grip for the P38 that you can attach a stock to, and you own a P38 barrel that is shorter than 16", even if you also own a P38 barrel that is 16", I have been told by an attroney who specializes in gun law and by a suppressor manufacturer that ATF will likely consider that the shorter than 16" P38 barrel is going make the whole thing a short barrelled rifle. In which case, if your P38 is not registerd as a short barrelled rifle you will be in hot water.[/quote]

That's true ONLY if you have the QD stock in your "possession or control" & those above mentioned items. There must have been a misunderstanding.

Just because a pistol has a stock lug, dovetail or other quick release fitting + a bbl shorter than 16", that does not equate to an SBR or even "constructive possession". Take for example a typical P.08 Luger with a 4" bbl + STOCK LUG. It's NOT a Navy or Artillery Luger, yet most of P.08s have this lug. The Browning Hi Power is often encountered with 500m tangent sights + a dovetail in the rear of the grip to accept a stock. Broomhandle Mausers are the same way. These are conventional Title 1 firearms & considered C&R (Curio & Relics). BATFE's Tech Branch/ NFA Branch has even in some cases ruled that some of the pistols are NO LONGER under purview as Title 2 weapons when combined with QD stocks & short barrels. The Inglis Chinese contract BHP, Artillery & Navy Lugers, Broomhandles & many others are exempt.
