With a couple of minor quibbles, I believe so.

It would have to be built on a receiver that had never been built as a rifle (to keep the Feds happy) and you couldn't have "all" the evil features because one of them is a folding or collapsing stock.

EDIT: So from the way it is worded, in our fine state anything over 12'' is considered a rifle.

A "rifle" is a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.

Nope. Doesn't say that at all. Just says anything under 12" is considered a pistol. If you have a revolver with a 13" barrel, it doesn't meet the rifle definition at all.

Thank you for clearing that up CTB.

I wish that was clearing it up.  The way CT wrote these definitions, it's about as clear as mud.  They should have just adopted the federal definitions. 

sooooooo, was in BMG today to buy a AR wrench. and as i was buying it, a customer asks to see a polish tantal. except there was NO stock on it at all. and it had the regular length barrel.

 overheard, who i think is the owner there, and he stated that he talked to the ATF, and that it was completely legal due to some of our reasoning here as well as on arfcom on the same subject. granted it did not have a 12 inch barrel on it like weve been talking about. but it meets the OAL like an AR would with a 12bbl and a pistol buffer tube on it.

and i dont think hes too worried about it either, since he is willing to sell it under his own FFL

maybe a corner has been turned?

So if the stockless tantal is perfectly legal, why wouldnt the ARbortion be legal?
