After a fair amount of digging I have some questions.
In Mass, an AR lower can't be remade into a pistol because a rifle cannot become a pistol, but a pistol can become a rifle. A Ruger charger is classified as a pistol but is essentially just a 10/22 with a 10" barrel. Keeping it out of the realm of the NFA/SBR world.
According to the ATF, a pistol may be equipped with a stabilizer arm brace and that brace can now (*recent) be used to fire braced from the shoulder.
According to the Mass AWB, 22s are excluded from the AWB.
By that logic, what are the legal repercussions of a person fitting a Ruger charger with a replacement bull barrel of same length as time of manufacture, an aftermarket stock that has an arm brace attachment and foregrip and an arm brace? Is the NFA involved if it's just a pistol?
Asking for a friend.
