William Kirk of Washington Gun Law clarifies the critical legal distinctions between converting a pistol to a rifle and a rifle to a pistol. Converting a pistol to a rifle is generally permissible by adding a 16-inch barrel and stock, and can be reverted. However, converting a rifle to a pistol requires prior NFA registration via Form 1 and a $200 tax, otherwise it constitutes an illegal 'weapon made from a rifle'. Understanding these regulations is crucial to avoid criminal prosecution.
