Browning Hi-power

And in the US unless the gun is registered..when you attach the stock you have just made a short barreled rifle that is considered verboten under the 1934 gun control act. If a cop sees ya shootin it you could be subject to arrest prosecution and would surely lose the firearm../unless it is registered. Be very careful my friend. I don't think the license for the short bbld gun is very high..

I appreciate the heads up. As I understand it all firearms made before ww2 can have a stock without any restraints. Since my pistol was made in the 90's I was required to have the local police chief sign a form stating I wasn't a danger to the public, fill out a background check, in duplicate, and pay 200 dollars for all my troubles. I have. What a pain in the neck and an absolute waste of my time, except I get to play with a fun toy. Our tax dollars at work. {sigh}
