AR/FAL pistols.........and (gasp!) stocks.

[Bic]

Just supposing that a fella went out and bought a commercially available one of the above and was mysteriously transported to some other universe where it was legal to stick a stock on it, would that be as simple as stock fitting to a similar rifle or are they manufactured to preclude that operation?

[TAB]

Unless the ATF made them change the design so that a stock could not be fitted.  it should be just just like normal.

Jah Jah. I apologise for bring the subject up and I will never do so again, albeit that it was an entirely theoretical question.

I send you by way of an olive branch:

Relax Bic,  what you are talking about IS doable but you would be creating what the National Firearms Act calls a Short Barreled rifle" if you were going to actually do it you would need to pay a $200 tax to ATF and get your paper work back BEFORE you assembled it. It's when you take a RIFLE  receiver and cut the barrel down to pistol length that they flat don't allow.
But what you would be doing is making a PISTOL longer, so it's just like buying it in the first place, follow the law and you would have no trouble.
As far as the actual mechanics of it AR should just screw in  like the buffer tube, FAL I don't know, I'm not familiar with them.

People do this in other countrys.

They USED to do it here, there was a stock available for Colt's "Dragoon" and "Walker" models, and back in the 20's and 30's there was the Marble's "Game getter".
