[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2807489, member: 26737"] Caliber isn't the defining characteristic that separates rifle from pistol, it's whether or not it's supposed to be fired from the shoulder. Basically, it's the shoulder stock that separates rifle from pistol. It was defined in NFA34: ETA: This isn't really new--check out the Remington XP-100. It was a bolt-action pistol offered in rifle calibers, but it didn't have any accommodation for a shoulder stock, so it was a pistol rather than a short-barreled rifle. That's also one reason AR pistols have different buffer tubes, and why the SIG brace was being reviewed by the ATF--if it could be considered a shoulder stock, then using it would turn your AR pistol into an unregistered SBR...
