>Length of the barrel does not matter, under 26''OAL, no stock = pistol , shoulder stock any barrel length = rifle<
Rifle barrel has to be 16" or longer.
Really. It does. Look it up.
You put a shoulder stock on a pistol with a barrel shorter than 16" and you have committed a federal felony good for ten years in Club Fed and a quarter-million dollar fine.
But if it makes you happy, go ahead and put a stock on your 4 3/4" SAA. It's your life.

I'm aware that TC sued and won, but I think the ruling only applies to TC.
Kinda like - MY (hypothetical) Winchester 92 sn 12345, with a 12" barrel is NOT nfa, but that does not mean YOUR 12" 92 also isn't. It has to be on the list.
ATF makes up their own rules as they go along.
And the Uberti has a 16" barrel, so it doesn't matter whether it has a stock or not.

This was a response to Noz. AGAIN I didn't realize we'd turned the page.
I wonder how many of the folks complaining about that (and there are bunches) actually SAW the movie, or if they all just saw the previews.
The people doing that had extraordinary mental abilities, and were using the power of their brain to cause the bullet to curve around things (similar to Magneto in the X-men movies). The "swinging the arm" was to help them visualize the bullet path.

If it came with a buttstock, it's a shotgun, and taking the barrel under 18" is NFA.
If it came with a pistol grip, it was not a shotgun, and you could shorten it. But if you put a buttstock on it, you turned it into a shotgun, and shortening the barrel would require NFA.

Oh heck, I quit Facebook two weeks after I joined it. I had my page set to private (pretty sure default was public), and a week after I joined they did a software upgrade, and whaddaya know? My page was public again.
So I told 'em I wanted out. They said they'd, basically, put me in inactive storage, just in case I changed my mind - would not have to re-register.
Said they'd only keep me in inactive for a short while - couple of weeks, or maybe it was a couple of months - and if I had not reactivated it they'd delete it.
This has been 6 years or more. I bet they still got it - in cold storage, maybe, but still got it.

Several years back I'm visiting Hazel's family, and many pictures were taken. I asked for copies (how hard is it to email digital pix, or since I was there, burn 'em to a CD).
Her hubby says they will pit them on Facebook. That will allow ALL the family to see them.
So I join Facebook.
The day after I joined I received emails from people I know, wanting to "friend" me.
How did they know I'd joined? 'Cause the only one I told was Hazel. "Okay, I joined. Now what do I have to do to see the pix?"
So how did these other folks know I was a member?

While the normal "hunting bullet" weight for a 35 Remington is either a 180 or 200 grain bullet, many people load 158 grain pistol bullets in them for plinking, or shoet range.
An actual jacketed 35 Remington bullet is about a quarter each. Compare that to a cast 158 RNFP for what - 8 cents if you buy it or 2 if you pour it? BIG savings.

It's not an SBS the same reason a Rossi Ranchhand is not an SBR. It did not start out as a shotgun (or rifle) so it's not a shortened shotgun (or rifle).

What exactly is the intended purpose of this contraption? To whom is this being marketed and why? Although interesting, this kind of looks like the answer to a question that was never asked.
Fun.
The intended purpose is fun. It's like buying a Ferrari or a Lotus. Idiotic car, when you think about it, but fun to own.
I wanted one of these, ever since I saw El Dorado.
Once I got it I found that it was difficult to shoot well and had no legitimate use, but I still like it and am glad I own it.
But it's not a hunting gun or a defense gun. It's a toy.

That IS the "right pistol grip", for a couple of reasons.
With a "stick down at the bottom" grip, like this
the recoil goes to your thumb and your wrist. Been there, done that, hurts.
With this type grip, the recoil is pushed up your arm. The elbow and shoulder both pivot easily to accept it.
Doesn't hurt.
Second reason: with a "hang down below" grip you cannot reach the safety, which is on top of the receiver. With this grip the safety is right at your thumb.
Third (and best) reason: the gun must be 26" or greater OAL or it needs to be papered. With a "hang down below" grip it would be about 22", requiring AOW paperwork.

I thought, during the Big Fuss, the Yankees used friction igniters.

Grease I would have gotten. Tar, to me, means asphalt, which sets up hard. Not helpful for greasing wheels.

What would the tar be for?
Thinl I understand the rest of the list.

John Wayne, in ANY movie, getting shot and saying, "It's just a flesh wound"?
Book I'm reading, guy one gets shot in the butt, guy two is trying to be caring and concerned, and guy one says, "Really, it's just a flesh wound".
Guy two tells him he needs to try to say that like John Wayne.
And I couldn't think of any movie where Duke said that.
Anyone?

Orchestra Wives, 1942.
KNEW that had to be a movie, and not just a video. Recognized the Nicholas Brothers, and certainly knew the Glenn Miller Orchestra. But the Joker didn't play piano for Glenn Miller (although he WAS married to Harry James' wife).

I was just moving some pictures around, and noticed that some of them were .JPG, while others were .JPEG.
Wondered why. Anybody know?

Don't recall "Toughskins". Wore "Roebucks". About the time I hit high school Penney's started selling jeans. "Plain Pockets". Just as good as Levi or Wrangler, but without any fancy yeller stitching on the back pockets, so were about five bucks less.

I remember seeing Lake Pipes on a Corvair, going doen the road. Made me giggle, seeing that on a rear-engined car.
Then one day it was in my friend's gas station, on the lift getting an oil change.
The owner had dropped a '65 327 Vette engine in the trunk. :!

My father had a similar problem. The deep freeze died.
He complained for a week. "Last damn time I buy the floor display. Bought that in 58, and here it is 95 and it quits working. Didn't even get forty years out of it. That'll teach me. Next time I'll get one new in the box."

Book I's readin' t'other day, this gal says she's gonna make her husband a tuna fish casserole, and her friend tole her that was redundant. It was "tuna".
Seein's as how so many of y'all get upset with "hot water heater" (it's just "water heater" - why would you need to heat hot water rant rant rant)
I wondered if y'all ate tuna, or tuna fish?Me, I got a gas hot water heater, and prefer Chicken of the Sea tuna fish.
