There are lots of horror stories of their overstepping their authority concerning honest citizens. That being said, the ATFE are not known for worrying about staying inside the law. It has to have at least a 16 inch barrel and be 26 inches long overall if it has a shoulder stock. Just do not have a shoulder stock installed when it sports a handgun barrel. You can still put a carbine kit on it legally. Recoil is brutal in such a light firearm.) I'd buy a Contender G2 handgun and have it registered as a handgun.
However, you can not cut down a rifle to pistol size without the $200.00 stamp. It is my understanding that you can convert a handgun into a rifle as long as the barrel is at least 16 inches long and the total length is 26 inches over all. I currently have three rifle barrels and seven pistol barrels for my Contender battery and love them all.
All of them good.īoth have adjustable triggers that break very cleanly. I now have a handgun only action and a rifle only action in my kit. Six years ago, I found a used G2 carbine and bought it too. (See my report on it in the handgun shot shell thread.) I modified the 44 Magnum shot choked barrel to 410 some time ago. Very light weight and off the bench about 1 MOA with varmint weight (50 Gr.) loads. I really like it, and it shoots wonderfully.Ībout twenty years ago, a small firm named Texas Contenders offered a carbine modification to the Contender. My wife bought me a G1 TC Contender a lot of years ago.
