Sorry for my ignorance but all of the reading I am doing on the ATF website has me more confused than anything so I will get straight to the point.
I have a carbine 16" upper, no flash hider, just a full 16" barrel, can I put this on a pistol lower and still be classified as a pistol? I would assume it has to come in under 26" but I don't have a pistol lower on hand to check the length. Or does the 16" barrel on the pistol lower classify it as something else? My reasoning is I have an alternative deer season coming up this weekend in my state and when checking the zero on my muzzle loader I think it is time to move on. The ML was not grouping very well at 100 yards. If I have to I will use it but limit myself to an acceptable accuracy range of about 50 yards but Missouri does allow pistols. I can add a pistol lower to my collection and then save up for the muzzle loader I want for next year. Thanks in advance. |

This. But OP, does Missouri allow .223 for deer, or does it, like most states, have a .243 minimum caliber requirement? Quoted:

16" barrel on a pistol lower is OK. This. But OP, does Missouri allow .223 for deer, or does it, like most states, have a .243 minimum caliber requirement? I believe New Mexico has a minimum only for elk. |

Quoted:
If you put a 16" barrel on a pistol or virgin lower it would cease to be a pistol as it would not meet the definition of concealability most likely ( >26" OAL). That's irrelevant. It still falls outside the definition of any NFA regulated item. What it IS doesn't matter, as long as it ISN'T something covered by NFA. |

Actually it is as he was stating his intent was to hunt with it during a season that allows handguns. It is not a handgun. |
