That makes two of us, Tommy.
Snake, it's ugly, no doubt. But it does prove an important point. Bloomberg and company thought they scored a major victory in their "fight" against those "terribly dangerous ASSAULT WEAPONS", getting them "off the streets". All they did was prove their ignorance.
When the antis try to ban something based on cosmetic criteria, somebody is going to figure a way around it. And those who live under the restrictions will buy it.

Hmm. Back in the mid-late 1980s, I believe that H&K made a sick looking variant on the HK-91 or G-3 type rifles that had Wooden stocks, like a classic Sporting rifle. After the GWB ban went into effect, they went bye-bye, at least for US imports.
(I know it sounds crazy, but I swear I saw it in a catalog. In 1980s dollars they cost a ton, too.)
What's to stop someone from, instead of making a stock like the one in the story, mating an AR to a Sporting style stock? There is the buffer tube, which is the big issue, but one could slip the stock over, whether a wooden one or a molded plastic one with a wood grain look to it. A matching fore-stock should be doable with either, too. The pistol grip thing is interesting. In the picture shown it looks like an FJ-42's, but could it be eliminated entirely? In the Klintoon Ban days they used thumbhole stocks.
Throw on a classic set of mounts for a scope, which should be doable with a top rail, and a classic hooded front sight perched on the usual post. Rear iron sights can be done several ways.
An AR-15 or AR-10 type rifle kitted out like this would be pretty neat, actually.

Isn't it funny how what they buy as "Personal Defense Weapons" for Der Fuehrer's Reichssicherheit Sturmtruppen, they seek to deprive us of as "Assault Weapons?"
Oh, right... Das Reich Uber Alles. Far as I'm concerned, Proggies are no better than their Nazi forebears...
Sorry, as a descendant of one of the men who liberated a concentration-camp, I find myself a little envious of the refreshingly direct technique Uncle Frank and his OD-clad buddies had when THEY had to deal with these people in '44-'45, as inspired by Patton himself.

Some places, if you put a 10/22 in a pistol-grip or folding stock it becomes an "assault weapon." So, yes.

Snake45,
Which is PROOF POSITIVE of how STUPID, terminally IGNORANT & SELF-important that the "gun-haters" are.
