Have the Bolt be Off hand, and make a highly recessed into the stock, somthing like an XP-100 only more so... i.e. the pistol grip at about the center of gravity for an action + 16.25" barrel.
The action & rear sight would be just over the forearm, wth about 6" of barrel extending past the pistol grip.
Wouldn't that be just about the ultimate in a .22 Colibri "it don't look like a gun" squirrel/pigeon sniper?

My six year old and I stop in our local gun store about once a week. She looks at that pink Cricket every time. I've been thinking it's about time to get her started, but her Momma doesn't think so.
I only think "Cricket" because the barrel & action are already only 23" long... and I wouldn't have to do much metalwork to cobble together an ugly prototype.
Just think about it... a "rifle" by definition because of its length that actually handles like a pistol... except that because the rear sight is near your elbow has an 18" sight plane...

It would be a fun little gun, no doubt, as long as its overall length was 26" or more. Any less and the BATFE would look askance. It'd be a devastating instrument of mass destruction and deaht, don't you know. And they're already eyeballing you as a dangerous right-wing extremist ...

I had though about doing that after looking at them for awhile one day. I wasn't thinking about sliding the grip forward though, just nipping the barral back to pistl length.

If you made a 26.25" bullpup it would still comply with the feds with 1/4" for safety.
but even if you wanted to actually make a sub-26 pistol, an AOW tax stamp isn't too hard/expensive to get.

If they measure a gun, it's gonna be too short when they're done measuring.

Surely you aren't suggesting that our beloved public servants in the BATFE would lie about something like that, are you? Or use a measuring scale where an inch is '.............................' that long? They would NEVER do anything dishonest! Just ask them!
A man's admiration for absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.
They'd just claim you were "impeding their investigation", then arrest you. Cops don't take requests from the back seat of a patrol car. My all time favorite response? "Those cuffs aren't tight, they're just new. They'll stretch out in a minute!"

Once again, are trying to go to federal prison? You can't make a pistol out of a rifle or shorten a rifle barrel to less than 16".

You can't make a rifle into a pistol, no way, no how. You can buy just the receiver, then build your pistol, but once a receiver is made as a rifle, it is always a rifle.

Once it's REGISTERED as a rifle, it can't change, you mean.

Except that a Bullpup Rifle is, oddly enough, a RIFLE.
If it has a shoulder stock it is a RIFLE - so long as the OAL is 26" or greater.
A bulpup has a shoulder stock.
If that bulpup is sized for a youth, it makes no odds.
What you are implying is that a 26" Cricket Rifle, designed & cut back for a small youth, would be a "pistol" simply because I can fire it quite well with one hand... which is categorically not so.
A bullpup is a Rifle, not a pistol, regatdless of the placement of Grip & trigger group.
