Unfortunately a felony. Cut down Hamilton no27 rifle into a “pistol” aka an SBR. Doubtful anyone’s gunna care but at the end of the day possession of that is a felony, same charge as an unregistered machine gun.

The argument could be made that it's a legal pistol, as it no longer has any shoulderable stock and can really only be supported by the hands. If it still had the original stock, then sure, it would be an unregistered SBR.

Wouldn't it be an SBS?

You can't start with a rifle and end up with a pistol, without involving the ATF and the NFA.

Same for a SBS. You can't start with a shotgun and end up with a pistol.
