I am looking to convert my Ruger 10/22 into a SBR like the one i saw in http://www.agparms.com/product.php?productid=16164&cat=262&page=1

This is the stock I'd be using as my main component.  http://www.agparms.com/product.php?productid=16164&cat=262&page=1

Is there any legal issues I would come across with this being such a short rifle?

What is this I hear about needing a stamp or something from Gov. for a SBR? Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Texas is a Class 3 friendly state, you should have no problems but there are some hoops to jump through as well as a $200 tax for the privilege and a waiting time of usually a few months.
There are a few options, these forums should help you with what you're looking for:

So the basis of what I need to do is,

1 Fill out paperwork
2 Send in paperwork with $200
3 Have my receiver engraved
4 receive "stamp"
5 Have fun shooting

So basically I can have a fully functioning 10/22 SBR for $200 more?

Where should I send my barrel to get it shortened?

I want it as short as I can go, should I go for 4" or 5"? What are the benefits for each one?

Thanks for the help

I would go for the 4", unless you plan on dropping in a full-auto trigger pack some day. You need at least 4.5" of barrel, and even then preferably with a suppressor, to reliably run full-auto.
