Mini Barrett

I'm still confused as to why bull-pup weapons are prohibited. I guess it makes sense if the barrel length is less than the legal limit but at that point couldn't you just lengthen the barrel?
Although I guess that makes the bull-pup mechanism redundant.

Bulpups are not prohibited, but taking a standard rifle and putting it in a bulpup stock makes it prohibited, a la putting a 10/22 in a P90 stock.
 
Stock rifle in a bullpup conversion makes it shorter than legally allowed; also if you remove the bullpup stock the rifle will still function and it makes the rifle even shorter. That is why conversions are prohibited, and manufactured ones are not. At least that is my understanding, but I could be wrong

No, bullpup conversion stocks are prohibited by name is why they are prohibited, nothing to do with OAL.
 
Is there any logic behind making bullpup conversions illegal? Is it to stop people from basically making their own versions of bullpup weapons that are prohibited for other reasons?

Trying to find logic in gun laws is like trying to take your cat for a walk.

No matter how hard you try, it is not going to happen.

Well I have to disagree, I can TOTALLY see the logic in limiting law abiding citizens to 5 round mags with full knowledge that criminals are just going to break that law seeing as they are already breaking other laws.:rolleyes:
