bm59 paratroop stock

[goo]

is it dislegal to remove the metal folding buttstock from this?
i.e. would the weapon be too short to be legal?
...
thx, goo

Off the top of my head a rifle has to have a 16" barrel and an overall length of 26". This measurement is with the stock collapsed or folded. All that unless it is registered as a short barreled or short rifle (class III I think).

seems like an bm59 with that stock might not be legal, then.
thanks, bill

goo the rifle in question about would be legal . a BM59 rifle with the stock folded and no muzzlebreak is 29 1/2" in length.I will get my BM62 from the safe and see if the overall length is any different .
Hope this helps ...

thanks, mike
