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!

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.
