enforcer

Bamavol
I see a listing for the Enforcer .30 cal. carbine pistol. I am not interested in bidding. However I would like to know would this gun be legal if it had a stock? Can you purchase a "bolt-on" stock? I assume that it is legal as a "pistol".

    I don't think it's legal with a shoulder stock attached.

    No, adding a butt stock to a pistol makes it a SBR and you have to follow NFA rules....

    Unless you also extended the barrel to over 16" as well (pinned or soldered flash hider, etc)

    It becomes a short barreled rifle and that results in all of the National Firearms Act restrictions. I've seen quite a few of the old Enforcers set up as SBRs with M1A1 type side folding stocks or the commercial under folding types stocks and they make very handy little carbines.

    You confirmed what I thought. Some of these rules are weird.

    You can say that again.

    For example, take the "enforcer" gun above. . .its legal.

    Hold the pistol grip in one hand and the magazine in the other and shoot it. . .no problem.

    Now, take a second pistol grip exactly like the one on the gun and attach it to the forearm. . .and you have an "Any other weapon", which is an NFA-restricted item.

    Why? Who knows. . .its another one of these senseless federal BATFE rulings.

    The Enforcer is one of the worst guns ever made. I love the .30 Carbine, but the Enforcer is a POS. Never could get mine to run right.

    The Universal Enforcer was not a particularly reliable weapon.
    The Iver Johnson Enforcer was GI spec., and worked very well. I hjave one of the stainless steel models.

    Mine was quite useful. Load with a 30 round mag, it jammed after a few shots but having a pistol grip allowed it to function very well as a club. [:o)]
