Don't see no amnesty.

The way I read it at first glance, if your brace is mounted to a firearm with less than a 16" barrel, it's considered a SBR and you will have 120 days to register it as such if you want to keep it that way.

From the ATF chart: (not required to pay the $200 making tax during the 120 day period)

I'm seeing that now in Section V of the final rule.

"Individuals and FFLs that are not Class 1 (Importer) and Class 2 (Manufacturer) SOT holders in possession of firearms equipped with a "stabilizing brace" that are subject to the provisions of the NFA as of the date this rule is published will not be subject to the $200 making tax so long as they timely submit an E-Form 1 by......."

Do the eform1's require pictures? I remember someone mentioning it

 

[VinnieBoomBah]

Which will it be:
Option A: You have 120 days to either register at no cost or destroy your "SBR"
or
Option B: The ATF just overplayed their hand and this and a bunch of other stuff (dare I say the NFA!) gets struck down?

They require photos of the submitter (if filing individually) or all responsible persons on a trust, and photos of engravings on the firearm being registered.

My past eForm 1 SBR submissions did not require any photos of the full firearm or any parts besides the serial and manufacturer's markings. I haven't found any information in the new rules that changes that.

The 120 day period IS the amnesty period. Stamps are free.

13. IS THERE A LIMIT OF HOW MANY FIREARMS WITH A "STABILIZING BRACE" THAT I CAN REGISTER AS SBRS FOR FREE DURING THE TAX FORBEARANCE PERIOD? • The tax forbearance only pertains to the firearms with an attached "stabilizing brace" in your possession at the time the final rule is published. There is no limit on how many you may register, but owners in possession of these types of SBRs must register within 120-days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.

So if you have a pistol braced firearm in shipment right now to an FFL , how does this work ? Are FFLs starting today can't turn them over?

 

[hatchj]

SBR's don't interest me. I don't want to have to get permission to leave a state with it. Guess I'm not doing an ar pistol after all..
