Oregon barrel length regulation

[jvbutter]

I did a little searching and see that 16" barrel is 1 criteria for legal limits... also 26" is another someone posted. Is there a special permit needed ( such as full auto stamp) that is needed for a AR w/10.5 barrel in Oregon? Assuming it will have a standard AR rifle lower attached. I thought we might have a sticky in Legal section of OR or WA rules.

Shotgun minimum barrel length is 18"
Rifle minimum barrel length is 16"
Overall minimum length for both is 26"

Anything shorter than those minimum requires a tax stamp. Oregon has nothing to do with it.

Barrel lengths:
16" on rifle
18" on shotguns

OAL is different than the above listed.

A barrel shorter than 16" on a "rifle" requires an NFA tax stamp for a SBR, otherwise you can make it a pistol.

You can also permanently attach a barrel shroud to a sub-16" length barrel to extend its length beyond 16.001" from closed bolt face on a rifle...

TMI?

jvbutter, has your question been answered?
Sorry for the prior postings.

308... Yes, basically 16" is minimum rifle length. so, I wont be able to buy the 10.5 upper I wanted...

 

[spookshack]

You still can, just "gotta pay, to play"...

 

[308]

The Tavor I just bought is a right at the 26" OAL which means its about the size of an SBR'd AR.
But yeah, there's some pay that goes with the Tavor as well..just not the stamp.

You could always make an AR pistol

Top rifle has 16.5" of rifling.
Bottom rifle has 10.5" of rifling.... ..... ;-) there are legal ways around to get what you want if you can compromise.

^^Dyjital, did you permanently fix the suppressor?

 

[stascom]

Is that a 'thing'? Don't you have to clean it out once in a while?

 

[jvbutter]

spookshack... Yes I know, its just a phobia I have about getting on another list of the Feds...

Dyjital..... Good thinking...

I'm sure you meant "16 inches is minimum barrel length" if you are talking about not being able to get the 10.5 inch upper.
