Oooooo.  I have an xp100 rifle in 6mm.  Will the rem 600 fit it (with  opening the barrel groove, of course) or do I need to use a short 700 stock?

Be cautious before you jump in and start throwing stocks on Contenders and cutting off barrel length.  State laws still apply.  For example:

In these states, you can do as you wish with Suppressors:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

In these states, you still need a Form 1 or Form 4 from the ATF for suppressors (notice many of these are very pro gun, but have state laws that require the federal forms):
Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.

In these states, you need to move to another state because they suck:
California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island, plus Washington, D.C. 


The minefield is just as complex for short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, and AOW’s.

Maybe it’s not. Roosevelt was well known for special orders tho.

Looks like my takedown 92.

I have not read the court opinion, and the devil is in the details. However, a determination by the Administration, (ATF) as to how to enforce the law is not binding on a subsequent administration and it is possible that a court at that time could rule differently, either on the basis of the law or if it can find a  relevant fact that is different from the facts in the previous decision. Until the entire law is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the US, or Congress amends or repeals it, be careful!
