No one else notice right off the bat that in the photo the barrel length is shorter than normal?

Because it's just a conversion on a x39 gun

Has nothing to do with caliber, but the barrel length and the original rifle.
I wish my AR would be NR, even if I conceded and put my .22 conversion kit into it.

..... If it was a dedicated 22 with a short barrel it would be NR. If it's a kit on a x39 with a short barrel it's restricted.

Where does it say in the law that the conversion needs to be a permanent one?
I get the difference between permanent and temporary, but my question revolves around more the concept of where the line is drawn. If barrels were swapped on a x39 receiver then the mod would be permanent and for sure the gun would change to NR if it met the oal but the receiver itself wouldn't have changed. It would still be a x39 receiver with a 22LR barrel.
The law requires any modification changing the calibre to be reported for the registration. I don't see where it says the calibre change has to be a permanent mod in order to achieve NR status.
Just pondering out loud...

Indeed. Rim-fire calibre vs centerfire calibre does indeed make a difference.

Its restricted by barrel length not the caliber.

Right... centerfire rifles are restricted by barrel length.
Rim-fire are not, they are classed by overall length of the gun. What I'm asking is... where in law does it state the conversion to rim-fire must be permanent in order to change the classification?
