The serial number or the nomenclature on the receiver should tell you whether it originally came as a rifle or as a pistol. If it originally cam as a rifle, no it is not legal with the pistol barrel on it with or without the stock.

As long as you only have the stock on when you have the long barrel on, it should be fine. Additionally it would have needed to be classified as a "pistol" originally when it was made and sold. You can legally make the pistol version into a rifle, but if it came originally as a carbine (rifle), you CAN NOT legally make it into a pistol. It must only have the short barrel without the stock and it must have the long barrel with the stock attached.

Thanks lrarmsx, now let me ask, would it be fine with a folding/colapsable stock, as long as the carbine barrel was used?
Do you happen to have a link to an ATF letter that says it would be okay?

Have you tried to contact the seller with your questions. he may be a good source of information in this matter.

Yes, I have always tended to believe what a seller is saying, especially the used car guys! [;)]

1. You are contributing to an anti-gun system.
2. Someone may report you for it, people have been banned for gun transfers using paypal(assume by an irate buyer?).
3. If you do use paypal for firearms payment, and are unsatisfied, they will not support your efforts to claim restitution (but will probably ban the seller?).
These are things I have heard, I know #1 is true, not sure about the others....never happened to me.
