If OP builds a virgin firearm with no stock and 26+ inches in length, it should be a firearm and not a pistol, rifle or shotgun. In that case he should be allowed to install a vertical foregrip with creating an AOW, providing he doesn't conceal the weapon?A "firearm" can never have been a pistol, rifle or shotgun. Therefore a pistol with a vertical grip cannot legally ever be a "firearm".
Amateur hour indeed.
We are talking what is LEGAL here per the ATF, not technical terms. What is legally a handgun is not necessarily really a handgun. An AR "pistol" is legally a "pistol" but it is really a rifle with a short barrel when you ignore the laws and ATF regs/rules. Don't mix the two together when talking about what is legal in the USA and what isn't - step over the border into Canada and all the rules and laws change.
