I can't keep track of this ATF stuff.
I have a Ruger 10-22 rifle. I'd like to convert it to a charger by getting a new stock and a new barrel. Is this feasible? Is it legitimate?
 
I’m unclear of what you’re asking. Are you trying to make an SBR?
 
I’m assuming he wants to use the receiver and add a barrel to it and drop it in a charger chassis.

You can’t make a rifle into a pistol. You can make it into something that looks like a pistol, but it’s actually a “weapon made from a rifle” which is one of the definitions of an SBR.

So…you can file a Form 1, make it an SBR, and run it with or without a stock.
 
Ruger 10/22 rifle receivers have different roll marks than the Charger receivers. They are identical other than a Charger has a “22 CHARGER” roll mark, declaring it a pistol.

You got that right! However, from what I've read so far I gather I can't do this without jumping through a lot of hoops.
I most appreciate the replies.

It's not a lot of hoops at all. Start with BigWaylon's guide and ask a few questions here. You conceivably could have a stamp in hand within a couple of weeks.

Given that a tax stamp is $200 it is probably more economical to just buy a Charger instead of paying for a stamp and a Charger “stock” and barrel. The only advantage to SBRing your 10/22 is you could make it a Charger like gun or a SBR.
