    You can build whatever you want, make sure that you use a pistol brace and not a standard butt stock or you will be in trouble.

    You’ll want barrel under 16” overall length under 26” brace to trigger measurement under 13.5” only a state would have rules for registering a build. This is just what I know with MN rules

    I hope this helps explain things. As long as he uses a brace or pistol tube and isn’t trying to make an SBR he should be alright. Better to just not draw unwanted attention
