So I've been looking at several antique receivers, wondering what I could make from them. My thoughts were to buy a bare receiver and create a pistol from it. Akin to something that would have come out of the Khyber pass.
Would a pre 1899 (cartridge, not muzzleloader) rifle be exempt from having to be registered as an SBR?
As I understand the law, I'd legally be allowed to convert a cartridge firearm to a SBS, SBR or pistol, but only if the receiver was built pre January 1st 1899.
If you know about this, please let me know. Though I may contact the ATF no matter what, I certainly don't want commit an accidental felony.
