Thread: OVL requirement advice

Hi again guys

Wasn't too sure if I should ask this on my other thread or make a new one, so I thought I would make a new one to be safe.

Just wondering if the OVL requirement for rifles minimum length is taken from a collapsible stock in its open or closed position. Reason I ask is I have been looking into DI rifles at your guys behest and the Daniel Defence MK18 (25 inch collapsed stock?) has taken my fancy as an overall rifle for my uses and the short length would be great for the bush around here and quick pointing for the gauntlet at the club which is all about speed at close ranges.

If the mk18 IS too short to be classed as a rifle (ecat) then what options do I have to increase its OVL to the required 762mm aside from longer stocks or large muzzle brakes/flash hiders?

Thanks again
