The Form has a barrel length question and a overall length question. You would need to answer those with the shortest barreled upper installed. Then you would be able to install longer barrels. But I would store it with the barrel length listed on your approved form 1.

As long as you can return it to the configuration listed on the form1 you're ok. In other words, if you submit it as a 5.56 with a 7" barrel, you can also have any caliber of any length and use it on your SBR. Just keep your original (or an upper of that cal and length), it doesn't have to be "stored" that way as a change to an AR is anything but permanent and can be done in seconds.
Ie, build a 5.56 7", a 300BLk 9" and a 458 SOCOM 12". You can have it in any configuration, as long as isn't a permanent change. This isn't legal advice, I'm not your lawyer, I'm not your lawyer. |

Register in whatever SBR barrel length you want. You can have multiple uppers for it. You do not have to hold onto the barrel, you do not have to hold onto the upper, just because you register it with a 14.5 barrel doesn't mean you can't throw a 10.5 on....... They ask you, not require you, to notify of any permanent changes. What is a permanent change, especially with an AR? |

This ^ +1 An SBR is or isn't, regardless of different lengths between the min/max. The ATF "ASK'S" that you inform them of perm changes after the fact. |

Yep, don't have to have original barrel length to restore to original.

Yep, don't have to have original barrel length to restore to original. I had a examiner tell me personally that she would not approve a future Form 4 transfer is the gun did not match the registry. She said that I would either have to return the gun to the original configuration or send a change letter before the transfer. Others here have sent Form 4s with new configurations and been approved. Just Sayin! |

Thanks for the information. I just need to decide if i want to go through the hassle of getting a CLEO to sign, or just open a trust.

If you do a trust the local leo has not knowledge of your gun. It's just a tax issue between you and the feds. |

Whatever you name it, that is what you have to engrave (plus city/state). I named mine something simple like DCS Trust. |

If you don't use at least the first 12 lines of the Pledge of Allegiance, you're doing it wrong.

Just Sayin! I had an AC556, had the barrel chopped from 16" to 13", never sent a letter. When I sold it I put the new barrel and OAL on the F4 and it went through fine and the registry was updated with the new configuration. |
