Styrene-butadiene or styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) describe families of synthetic rubbers derived from styrene and butadiene (the version developed by Goodyear is called Neolite). These materials have good abrasion resistance and good aging stability when protected by additives. In 2012, more than 5.4 million tonnes of SBR were processed worldwide. About 50% of car tires are made from various types of SBR. The styrene/butadiene ratio influences the properties of the polymer: with high styrene content, the rubbers are harder and less rubbery. SBR is not to be confused with a thermoplastic elastomer made from the same monomers, styrene-butadiene block copolymer.
I have heard mixed things on SBR builds with semi autos post 2024 legislation in WA.
considering two SBR builds if time and budget allow, but have also heard that WA, you can't do a semi auto SBR conversion now?
Anyone know?

The general rule of thumb for as long as I can remember is transferable machine-guns and some historic and/or unique NFA items have used market interest, but the added stamp, wait, and (relative) hassle resulted in very little interest in most used Title II guns. However, in about six weeks or...
Well, as most know, there has been a significant revision to NFA34. Chiefly short barrel rifles (SBRs), short barrel shotguns (SBSs), silencers, and Any Other Weapons (AOW) will have a tax of zero ($0). As of this writing there are multiple lawsuits challenging the registration component of...

Finally finished picking out parts for my wife's SBR. The final estimated length of the rifle when complete is... 24 inches. I pulled a tape measure out to that length, shouldered it and came out of my office to show her. "Honey look!" *snicker* "This is how big yours's is going to be!" *WHEEZE*...
Just in case anyone is looking for info on current waits - I e-filed two form 1 SBRs:
Submitted 4/09 - Approved 6/07
Submitted 3/31 - Approved 6/08
Mailed fingerprints w/ tracking day after submission on each.
I have rifle that I tax stamped into a SBR; I'd like to revert it back to a rifle. Now it doesn't currently have a SBR length upper/ barrel attached it's essentially stripped. Do I just write the ATF as in their laws * 5320.4 and ask them to remove it from the NFA registry and wait about a week...
Just saw this on you tube, but haven't read much on it yet. Sounds like the ATF is making an end run and it banning pistol braces. This is largely unrelated to the whole Q debacle. Or maybe not.
Seems its all originating from Military Arms Channel, but no video directly from Tim yet.
