I've been looking over some of the BATF regulations, specifically, the following definition of a Short barreled rifle:

"Short-barreled rifle. A rifle having one or more barrels less than 16 inches in length, and any weapon made from a rifle, whether by
alteration, modification, or otherwise, if such weapon, as modified, has an overall length of less than 26 inches."

I guess what I want to ask is: If I install a 16 inch barrel on a modern Orimar frame, can I still have a detachable stock?

The reason I ask is that the previously posted stainless carbine pictured above displays no latch on it's stock iron. Is this stock non-detachable so as to ensure a minimum 26 inch overall length?
