No-No? What's the "total legal length" for a rifle. I know the barrel can be no shorter than 16", but what about overall length? --thanks--vt

there is not much difference between no stock and under/side fold stock.
But why would you cut if off when you could just take it off? |

Because the OAL of the rifle would then violate Section 921 compliance, therefore being able to land you in Federal "POUND ME IN THE ASS" prision. |

Yeah, you don't need to hack it off totally. First you'd need to block the hole with something or get a face full of soot. Second you can easily buy folding stocks from Ace stock, or romanian folders for like 40$ from various 'shotgun news' dealers. Just remember to put some padding (duct tape , leather) on that metal or ouch!

Unless you cut the stock tang off it should be long enough without the wood. My handy tape measure puts my SAR1 at 26-1/4 inches from the end of the barrel to the back of the tang... Buy why not just get a folding stock, a no stocked AK is pretty damned useless... |

And destroy any accuracy! I did have a metal folding stock on one of my old AK's and it would bang your shoulder good. |

I think as long as the BBL is over over 16" then it isn't a pistol |

Yeah, and send the cutoff stock to DiFi.

With no stock, at all, my SAR-1 would be under 26" OAL. |
