i recall reading somewhere about a weight requirement from batf for the modified rifles to be considered pistols. if that is true, what is the required weight? how best to research this?

thanks, but here is a conflict that prompted this topic. the state of hawaii says that if it is over 50oz's it is an outlawed assault pistol. i am sure that there are places out there (CA!) that ban certain weapons, but what does the gov say? having read your replies i am still curious if "assault pistols" are a batf item, and if not then does the reference to rifle actions imply that i cannot use 80% unfinished receivers? did the discontinued MARS ak pistol meet the atf criteria or is the guideline relatively new?
