HEY great shot something to be proud of. I have a question on the carbine.Does it have to be a over all length to deal with not just the barrel length? I was told by a game warden in va. that it has to be 16" or longer barrel and that it had to be over 28" overall length. I can't remember if that is the correct length for overall. I like your Idea and wanted to do something like that. But after what I found out i let it go.Now i am really interested again. thanks for the info.Good hunting
