If this was a real gun would it be legal?

[NWSharpshooter]

10/22 can never be an AOW. It will be a pistol, a rifle, or a short barrel rifle.(I suppose you could put a forward grip on a charger and make it an AOW but the cost is the same as SBR so not sure why anyone would ever do that. )

If it started as a rifle it must keep a barrel over 16" and a OAL of 26" or more. Below either of those and it is a SBR.

If it started as a pistol than there is no OAL or barrel length requirements so long as you don't put a butt stock on it and turn it into a rifle (which is legal, but then rifle rules apply.)

As long as your barrel isn't shorter than 16" and your OAL isn't shorter than 26" that gun is 100% legal.

Where do I measure barrel length?

Where do I measure barrel length?

Close the bolt. Put a cleaning rod down the barrel, mark where it stops, measure cleaning rod to the mark.

It's not built he was just changing the Tapco "buffer tube"...

He will, thanks...

Bolt face to muzzle. Cleaning rod is the perfect tool.

Thanks guys. He said it passed...

So a 10/22 with a bbl length of 16" and an OAL less than 26" would be what? An AOW correct?

And yes the vert grip on a charger is an AOW and you'd be paying a "manufacturing" stamp so yes it'd be 200.00 that's why rarely does anyone manufacture AOWs. If you purchase a newly manufactured AOW its only a 5.00 stamp but wait time hangs out right there with all the other approvals.

I wish AOWs would fly through I'd be more inclined to own some different stuff that doesn't add much but is worth 5 bucks

It would be a short barrel rifle.
