It's probably cheaper to just buy a .22 rifle. The upper on the conversion is the serial numbered part, so you're buying a new gun anyway.

As long as it's 26" and the barrel is 16" it's okay. It's a rifle.

OK, so you've taken a registered pistol and made it a rifle.  Still, how is that legal?

No, you're buying a carbine without a trigger assembly. You're using the grip and trigger from your gun to complete it.

Never been a big fan of that kind of thing.

Haz, it's ok to make a pistol into a rifle, but you can't make a rifle into a pistol(short barreled rifle) without permission(tax stamp) from the atf-e

If its more than $200, I can just say 10/22. Kind of cool, but it kind of reminds me of the Simpsons NRA episode where Moe the bartender gives a seminar on how he has turned six guns into one gun. Why?
