Hi, so I had a few questions for you guys out there. So I've been looking into selling/trading my pump action shotgun, if anyone wants more info on the shotgun message me. A guy contacted me looking to work out a trade involving cash and this rough rider 16, its a 22lr. He told me that because of barrel length I don't need an HQL, nor do we need to have it transferred out of his name. So I wanted to know if that's true. I looked at it and I thought it would be cool to turn this into a 22wmr/magnum carbine/SBR. I talked it over with my dad and he was fairly confident that I could do it with little effort or risk of damaging or blowing up the barrel. And as much as he knows, he doesn't know everything so I wanted to get somewhat of a second opinion. I was curious if it would be possible to simply change out the 22lr cylinder for a 22wmr cylinder with out compromising the barrel or frame. Now as far as the shoulder stock I've only found one company that seems to make them, but it's essentially just a blank stock, you have to sand it down and seal it yourself. So I was curious if you guys had any leads on where I might be able to find a finished stock for it.
Question summary
1. Do I need an HQL to own it?
2. would we need to do some sort of transfer or would a bill of sale suffice?
3. Can I simply switch out the 22lr cylinder for a 22wmr cylinder without running the risk of it eventually have the barrel blow up or damaging the frame or even have the cylinder blow up? Or would I have to get a new barrel for it as well?
4. Does anyone have any leads on where I might be able to find a finished shoulder stock for it?
5. Is it really worth the trouble to turn this 22lr revolver into a 22 magnum revolver carbine?
