I had done the research and maybe only read what I wanted to find.   The FBI told me what I wanted to hear.   It took longer, but the ATF finally sent me the information and cited documentation that I had requested:

"Good morning,

Regarding your 1981 Dan Wesson .357 Revolver, Model 15-2, you would need a 16” barrel to be considered a GCA rifle. The revolver barrel length measurement takes place from the muzzle to the cylinder face per ATF form 4590 factoring criteria for weapons. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/form/factoring-criteria-weapons-atf-form-4590 This link will take you to the publicly available 4590 form. Reference the revolver side under barrel length. If the barrel is under 16” and has a shoulder stock it would need to be registered with NFA as an SBR. The cylinder is not measured because it is not a fixed part of the barrel.

Thank you,

No problem I just thought you should be aware of the rulings. Better this than 10 years in Club Fed!

Tell them it's a bump stock with an arm brace.

Funny you should mention "arm brace", folding.   But you know engineers, have to see if it could be done.   For the record: I do not have one in my possession.   Nor have I requested one to be made for me.   And, if a package were to show up on my doorstep around Christmas time.   I would not know what to do.
