BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — On Tuesday, officers with the Calera Police Department arrested a man carrying a rifle that had been converted into a handgun.
According to the CPD, two officers noticed a person acting suspiciously in a neighborhood. When approached, the suspect ran and was later found at a local gas station. The suspect, from Chilton County, had a concealed firearm and is a prior convicted felon with two active arrest warrants from separate cities.

“The firearm, while not a thing of beauty, appears to be functional,” the CPD stated in a message posted on their Facebook page. “This used to be someone’s .22 caliber bolt action rifle but has been modified apparently to be concealed.”
CPD commented on the post that over 30 feet of electrical tape had been used in the construction.

Looks like a Winchester. He probably could have traded that for a decent handgun before he got out the hacksaw.

The article sort of says he was charged with cutting down a rifle. He was actually charged with being a felon in possession of a gun. Once both the barrel and stock were cut off, it's a handgun. It's not exactly pretty and I sure wouldn't shove it in my pocket without a trigger guard, but it's handgun by any definition I've read.

That's some top-notch gun smithing right there. A firearm any of us would be proud to own.

It's not exactly pretty and I sure wouldn't shove it in my pocket without a trigger guard, but it's handgun by any definition I've read. Nope. It started life as a rifle. Cutting it down doesn't turn it into a pistol, it becomes a short barreled rifle and must be registered with the ATF as such on a Form 1, pay the $200 tax stamp prior to cutting barrel to a length shorter than 16 inches.

No, it's a straight reading of the National Firearms Act of 1934, passed by congress, not the ATF. We can agree it's unconstitutional, regardless, it still applies in this instance.
