If SBRs/SBSs/AOWs turn OTC, whatcha buying/building?

[CountryGent]

A parallel to this thread:

If silencers turn OTC, whatcha buying?

The language in the Big Beautiful Bill that just passed the House will make silencers an unregulated part that one can buy sans paperwork of any kind. You know, just like the good ol' days. (It still must pass the Senate and be signed into law, of course.) Should that happen, sans regulatory...

Why? It is being reported the Senate version also deregulates short-barrel rifles (SBRs), short-barrels shotguns (SBS), and Any Other Weapons (AOWs).

Enjoy!

I'd short barrel a PS90 & an AK74 varient (Arsenal SLR104UR).

Both I would do "eventually", with stamps. However, would get advanced quite a bit ahead in my line of things I'd like to get done...

 

[Ducati_Meister]

I'd get the 14 inch barrel for my M4 shotgun and some uppers for my AR etc.
My only worry is these anti gun states might go full fart to ban SBRs etc if they are taken off the NFA. WA has already shown its willingness to ban their way to confiscation and even sue their own citizens out of business over unconstitutional laws as such.

I'm drooling over those new Turkish MP-5 clones fitted out proper, and with two stamps about to be removed, might as well really do it up the way it should be!

Can't think of anything I would change except guns with braces I would add stocks and vertical foregrips on many of them.

 

[Bolt_308]

HK Sp5 and SP5K get the real OG stocks and vertical Foregrips.
PS90 gets a barrel chop.
Spear LT gets the real stock.
HK MR556A4 11" gets the real stock.
B&T TP9 gets the real folding stock and OEM Vertical Foregrip.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY . . .

VZ61 Skorpion gets . . . NOTHING. It is perfect just the way it is . . .

JK- it gets the OG wire stock installed, just as god and GoldenEye intended . . .

A Winchester 1887 SBS and Ithica 37 SBS is on the bucket list for sure!

I had an interesting chat with wife concerning this whilst making and consuming dinner. We've hit all the major points with MGs, SBRs, a SBS, silencers, and an AOW. (Only NFA "bingo" not met is a DD.) So, nothing readily sprang to mind from either of us. Except "why not" options; cans for everything that can use one, integral suppressors, stocks for pistols and revolvers, at least a couple different AOWs, some of my wackier outlier ideas, etc. Put another way, while the primary targets were already hit years ago, there are a number that it was difficult to justify the tax/paperwork/wait bullplop back when we were actively NFA-ing. With that nonsense gone, well, why not.

I think the vz61 might be a new purchase to get a proper one for each of my daughters

 

[Mark W.]

I might be tempted to add a butt stock to a mares leg. Or put a Universal Enforcer in a carbine stock.

Butt as both are expensive ideas I doubt I would do anything.

 

[orygun]

I'm going to SBR my pistol, but am gonna wait just a bit to see if the Govt makes it legal without all of the paperwork and tax.

 

[The Heretic]

About the only things I would do would be:

1) get the 10" threaded barrel for my PS90 and attach a suppressor to it.

2) Put a buttstock on my Shockwave (assuming SBS are added, which I doubt).

Other than that, I don't have any rifles where I feel the need to shorten the barrel less than 16"

Maybe add a buttstock to a .22 rimfire pistol (e.g., Browning Buckmark)

I just want a full refund for all my existing Form 1 permission slips done over the past years of tyranny.

I was under the impression the fees are dropped but registration will still be needed. So will it take years to get something registered?

 

[Will_White]

suppressed pump action 50 beowulf has been on my build list for a while but the commercial big bore cans are all designed for magnum rifle cartridges with the expense and size that brings with it.

Hopefully someone starts making solvent trap kits again, even if the tube has to be serialized.

 

[The Heretic]

The general consensus I have heard is that a suppressor would become a "firearm" under the GCA?

 

[Will_White]

The latest draft I've read shows they become "Firearms" under the GCA so just a 4473 and a NICS check.

 

[Aero Denezol]

I like those Auto Ordnance WWII Thompson clones. Or an AKS-74U. Might also put a suppressor on my Rem 700.

No, the registration would go away too. At least as is now. We'll see what the final product is.

One F1 project that I've kicked around for a while that falls in the outlier category is a wire stock for a big bore (.44, .45, or .50) double-action revolver. It would require some custom gunsmith and many won't touch NFA stuff. (My go to guy in that niche retired.) More annoyingly would be having to engrave trust information on the barrel or receiver. If the SBR horse-hockey goes away, those issues do too.

As a hiking, pest removal, vehicle carry, and/or small game gun, it would be neat if the currently AOW-regulated Marble Game Getter, Ithaca A&B, and H&R Handy Gun made a comeback from some manufacturer. If they were Title I, I don't see why some outfit wouldn't come up with something similar.

Anyway, just some random musing as I wait to attend a meeting.
