Legal Barrel Length?

"The rub comes if you buy a used frame. In theory, you'd have to research to learn how it left the factory, pistol or carbine. But T/C doesn't release that info - so you could be screwed without ever knowing it."

I would think it would be wiser for them to give out the information. If I ever ended up in that situation, somebody is liable to get sued, and gun companies don't need that kind of trouble.
Maybe the answer would be to have your lawyer make the request along with proper documentation. That way, due to their refusal to give out the needed information, they could be made either liable or an accessory after the fact.
I realize their position is silly, but knowing the reputation of the BAT-MEN, whatever it take to CYA.
