Remington 600 pistol?

Arkansastim
Hello everyone! I'm looking for some advice/input. A while back, I was given a Remington 600 Mohawk .308 Win. The gun was in really tough shape...lots of surface rust and the stock was beat up pretty bad. The price was right.....free!!! The bore looked fine and the little rifle is incredibly accurate with Federal Premium ballistic tips. I've got the metal refinished with Duracoat and the stock finished up nicely as well. I was thinking of selling the little rifle (I have several .308s) but I'm not sure I can part with it. Then I got to thinking that I seem to recall people making these rifles into bolt action pistols. Has anyone here ever done this? Aside from having to register the gun as a pistol, is there anything else I'm neglecting to think about? Any idea where I can go for a stock?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Tim

    I could be wrong,but I don't think you can legally do that.In other words,"Once a rifle,always a rifle"

    Also,the XP100 used the 600 action.(I think)

    One more thing,considering what the Mod 600/660's are bringin' these days,I don't think I'd want to "chop" one up for any reason.(I rarely see one around here for less than $500.)

    My two cents.

    The only way I can think of to do it legally would be to apply to the ATF to build a "Short Barreled Rifle" This requires that a 200 tax be paid, Lots of paper work and a long waiting period before it is approved for you to do it.

    You will find it to be a great big hassle of red tape converting a rifle to a pistol.
    Really is more bother than it's worth. You might get enough money for the 600 to buy a treasured XP100.

    Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.

    Thanks for the info! I have an extra Leupold 4x sitting around...maybe I'll slap the scope on it and just add it to the collection.

    Thanks again!
