Can anyone tell me if it's illiegal:eek: or not, to put a pistol grip on, or have a synthetic stock with with pistol grip for an M-14 rifle?

I was just wondering becasue i'm not sure if your allowed too, or if it changes the classification of the rifle, from non- to restricted....:)

None. I believe the original configuration M14 with pistol grip was called an E2. There's even a board member that fabricates pistol grip M14 stocks, but the name escapes me. Too much 'nog in my coffee this morning.

What might change the classification of the rifle is putting on a folding stock that shortens the rifle considerably. That would make it a prohib, not a restricted.

no laws agaist pistol grips on anything. as skeetgunner says, you can't go below a certain length on a folding stock -beleive it's 26" whatever that is in metric.

there used to be porhibitions on Pistol grips in the US under their now expired assault weapons ban - ie you could only have 2 of a pistol grip, detachable flash hider, bayonet lug, detachable magazine capability, etc.
The system was considered but deemed too cumbersome by our bureaucrats.

This rule led to the creation of weird giant thumbhole stocks (gave the same effect as a pistol grip) for the US market -the Beretta Storm stock is an exampl- to get around this law. which thank God has expired.
 
Creepy thought in my head, as stimulated by the query regarding pistol grips creating a prohibited firearm.........can you guess what I'm thinking? (hint....Liberal initiatives):mad:
