That is just for the feds. Then I have to deal with the state.

What does the state of Washington require?

I wouldn't attempt anything like this in California, for what it's worth.

I'm not certain. We can't own full auto here and up till two years ago we couldn't even have a silencer.

Still no silencers here. I see many short barreled shotguns in stock at some gun shops so maybe those are little easier to purchase with the paperwork and stamp.

Actually a Mare's Leg in Canada is a Non-Restricted Firearm because of the barrel length.
Chiappa makes a .44 Alaskan takedown that's 12" that has a full stock. I'd love it if Henry did the same thing in .357 Magnum.

I saw a nice Chiappa SBR the other day, looked like a good home defence gun. Not sure the caliber.

Check out Hickok 45 for those Chiappa takedowns he did some reviews on them they are cool but they are also pricey

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I legally converted this Mares Leg in 45 Colt to a SBR along with a few other mods. These included drilling & tapping the receiver for a peep sight, swapping the lever, adding a mount for a red dot optic and replacing the stocks with figured walnut replacements from Henry. These were intended for a carbine model so took a few hours of fitting but turned out really nice and goes well with my other lever action SBRs.

That is a very cool rifle. Would be so easy to pack on my saddle.
