Don't care, this gun/idea is plain ugly!
I would say it would have to be legal. You couldn't say the magazine is a pistol grip, otherwise all magazine rifles would be illegal for a "second forward grip " if magazine are now grips.

The problem arises in the wording of the law, "(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon". With no definition of pistol grip an argument could be made using the wording "grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon". Once that argument is made they could argue that the hand is held on the firearm in the same manner as a pistol. Of all the compliant options I think this one is the most precarious. Even the MR-2 holds more legal water than this in my non lawyer brain.
But that would make all mags a "forward grip". In the military, when you grip the mag to fire the m203, do they call the mag a pistol grip? I wouldn't think so.
