  Great shooting! Your right, your rifle is kinda ugly. However it completely redeems itself in accuracy!

  Aim higher, or get a bigger gun.

  I have a T/C Contender rifle barrel in that chambering. One of the most accurate .22 cal. chamberings, and lots of fun to shoot. I don't think your rifle is ugly; seems to be purpose built to make bug hole groups. Pretty is as pretty does, as that Forrest Gump guy would say.

  Well, did it throw a Fireball and live up to its name?
  
  Good Shootin, ugly gun. Did the action come off that Rem XP in the pic?

  Not sure if it throws a fireball from the 16" barrel!
  
  Yes, it is an XP 100 action.

  I think I need to put some black 1911 grips on it. That should really help with the looks...
  
  By the way, ammo shot today was loaded in 2004.

  I like it. Did you make it and if you did what is it made from.

  My question is, are there any legal issues going from pistol to rifle mode?

  I didn't build it. It was assembled by a gunsmith. XP 100 action, Pac-Nor barrel, Simonson Machine Co aluminum stock, Weaver 15x scope.
  
  I've been debating a new finish for the stock to make the thing look half way decent. Seems like lipstick on a pig and other projects always take precedence.

  Not to my knowledge. The barrel is 16.1" and it's of course over 26" so no SBR issues to deal with.
  
  I doubt I would ever consider it but I believe there was an ATF ruling in 2011 that allowed for going back to pistol config from the rifle config if it was a pistol originally. Confusing at best.
  
  The pistol to rifle conversion is good to go as far as I know.

  Looks good to me! Very nice setup.

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

  I like it. Has kind of a mid-century target rifle look to it. Thinking about getting a 16" 1911 barrel and stock kit, and making a pistol caliber carbine cousin to that thing. Numrich had them years ago, in a style that looked pretty traditional.

  Ordered some new grips. Improves the grip, not sure about the looks.

  As long as it works, that's what's important.
