If it were me, I'd have the extension added to the barrel and add a brace style stock- keep it for five years in that configuration, then add a regular stock. If someone gives you grief about 922r during that time- point out it's wearing a brace, not a stock. Technically it can be either a pistol or a rifle with a 16" barrel, no minimum barrel requirements for pistols obviously. I think I just invented a 922r loop hole.

The fact that we have to go through this on a right that "shall not be infringed" is ridiculous.

Do you have a source for the 5-year statute of limitations?
