    No, the "Michigan Pistol" is a thing of the past.

    You still need to register actual pistols with MSP.

Basically Michigan hasn't adopted the Federal guidelines which is a rifle has a barrel of 16" in length and is measured with the stock extended.
    Correct

    Here is the law.

    http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(ic2...28-1931-XXXVII

    The answer to the whole question is ambiguous.

    It doesn't mention how to measure in the law.

    There was an MI AG opinion from back in '85 that essentially says to measure in the shortest operable condition and <26" made it an SBR, which was not legal at the time.

    SBRs and suppressors are now legal in MI as long as they are legal federally.

    The Feds measure OAL with a folding/collapsing stock in the longest position.

    e.x. a 16" barrel folding stock AK does NOT become an SBR just because it falls below 26" folded.

    Not to be argumentative but it's not ambiguous...if it's under 26" it's a pistol in MI

    The length number is clear.

    Whats ambiguous in the law as written is how to measure in the case of a folded stock.

    At any rate, registering a "pistol" is free, easy and fast.

    Just drop off the form and you're done.
