short-barreled rifle
Short-barreled rifle (SBR) is a legal designation in the United States, referring to a shoulder-fired, rifled firearm with a barrel length of less than 16 in (41 cm) or overall length of less than 26 in (66 cm). In the United States, an SBR is an item regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) as a Title II weapon. In the absence of local laws prohibiting ownership, American civilians may own an SBR provided it is registered with the BATFE, and a $200 tax is paid prior to taking possession of or creating the firearm.
Sight and barrel attachment (it's for my suppressor) not included. I have an extra I can throw in. I have 2 ARS and this is my custom pistol I am letting go. Only has a couple magazines through it, almost perfect condition, aside from a few small blemishes in the cerakote (normal wear). Only...
Hey guys so I registered my AR pistol as an sbr and added a law tactical folder. I’m wondering if I’m legally aloud to have it concealed in a backpack in my car or on my person? I have a Oregon CHL but my understanding is that it is only for “handguns” and since this particular firearm is now a...
From time to time I get the idea to add a big-bore AR upper to the mix. Something, say, .458 SOCOM or .50 Beowulf. As it will be mated to registered SBR lower, length can be anything.
Recommendations on this one? Other calibers to consider other than the aforementioned? Any to avoid? Thanks.
Is there a link or site that tells exactly what steps I would need to take to get a stamp. I have a lower receiver that says multi-caliber.
How would I get started?
So, I have another Form 1 project (SBR) under works. I'm planning on having the threading and action work done first while it is still Title I. Then I will file for the stamp. I plan on using eForms since it is back now, albeit requiring mailing in fingerprint cards. (There are only two...
I was looking at Washington State firearms laws set to go into effect in July. I own an SBR and came across a couple of things that do not make sense.
Can anyone direct me to legal counsel to explain to me what the law requires? I have over $3000 invested in my SBR, and do not want to turn it...
I am hoping someone on here has some experience with this question because I cannot find a good answer.
I have a 300BLK pistol I recently built and have never fired. I am rethinking the pistol portion and want to do an SBR. Can I use the same lower from my pistol build and use that for my form...
I've been considering getting my NFA form 1 for a SBR build but I've been on the fence if it would be worth the hassle as I already have a 300 BO pistol I build last year.
So for those that have jumped through all the hoops, was it worth it?
Ordered one of the Extar EP-9s this afternoon and am confused as to what the proper term for it is.
Never had anything like it in 40 years of firearms ownership and am not part of the tacticool ninja crowd so no idea what it is.
Maybe just a pistol?
It is AR-patterned, sort of. Has an "arm...
Given our current political climate, would you convert a pistol to an SBR? I guess my thoughts are convert it now before a possible "assault weapons" ban when you might not be able to to grandfather it in. On the flip side you could keep it as a pistol and might not be able to convert it later...
Have been bouncing around a few optics in my mind for a new SBR build. Being:
1. ACOG TA02 w/rmr
2. Eotech EXPS3-2 w/magnifier
3. Browe Combat Optic
4. Elcan 1/4x
Any options from those here that have tried some of these? I'm mostly looking for personal experience with the Elcans, I've owned an...
Selling an Aero Precision complete upper with a 10" 300BLK barrel and 9" Quantum handguard. Essentially, it's this, but I swapped the handguard onto it. Comes with the Aero Precision barrel nut wrench. It DOES NOT come with a charging handle or BCG. Never fired.
$350 shipped FedEx with a...
Planning to build an SBR. I know for the Form 1 app you need barrel length, over all length and a few other key details.
I had planned to purchase a lower/upper set and sit on them while the paper work goes through. After reading the rest of the requirements do I have to have all the parts on...
One of the handy things with having an NFA trust was I could Form 1 projects on eforms. I did two SBRs and a SBS via that system and it worked pretty well. With 41F, alas, it went away.
I just read, however, that it is now back. The only caveat is that the fingerprint cards have to be...
Does my Oregon CHL allow me to carry a concealed SBR? Specifically I am thinking of the B&T TP9-N which is small enough to wear under a coat. I keep seeing that there aren't any laws against carrying a loaded long gun, but the information on that seems ambiguous, because I can't figure out if my...
With an AR buffer tube and a collapsible stock, is it from the end of barrel sans barrel device with the stock extended fully? Or to the end of the buffer tube.
If you are 1/4 inch off or so because you didn't actually put it together before you had permission, does anyone care or check? I want...
There have been some recent introductions to the AR pistol "brace" market that almost make getting a stamp for an SBR obsolete, and owning an AR pistol much more appealing.
These new AR pistol "braces" come very close to competing with any SBR stock out there in both comfort, weight, style and...
This is an oddball for sure.
If I took a rifle, and remove the barrel im 99% sure that does not make it an SBR, BUT lets say I add a barrel blank, barrel being defined as having a bore, at 12" just to see how it might look when I get a stamp or to test fitment, does that make it an SBR as its...
I'm considering SBR'ing a lower or two in the next 6-8 months (pending availability of funds). Never having done this before, and knowing I like to plan ahead, I've got a few questions that I'm not finding solid answers to. I'm hoping you wonderful NWFA folks can help me make this nice and...
