[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Disapproved on my Form 1 today!!!..

Posted: 5/28/2015 10:31:09 AM EDT

Kind of a bummer as i looked over my previous one that was approved in late 2014 and it appears i filled the out application right. So i called and after giving the lady my serial number she stated it was rejected because Washington state does not allow short barreled rifles

..Hmmm... so she transferred me to someone who could help me who conveniently wasn't in today. After leaving a message i guess i'll wait..but will try calling back daily untill i get some answers!!

I believe it's because WA. law allows ownership of SBR's, but not the "MAKING" of SBR's.

Edit:

I read this to mean that an unlicensed individual can do a Form 4 transfer from a licensed manufacturer, but can't manufacture an SBR.

Bummer, OP. The red highlight (I think) means that it's illegal to own a rifle barrel shorter than 16 inches.

In the same boat. I hope it gets sorted out. I was looking forward to supressed 300blk deer hunting.

Hmmm....does this mean that if I already have a registerd SBR (that I built) in Virginia, that I can move to Washington?

This is weird. I had a buddy of mine get one disapproved as well yesterday. It seems like this is a new thing as another friend of mine had 3 approved just last week.

Not trying to be negative but I would assume that they will be denied. This seems to be wide spread.

It's becoming a shit storm in GD. Nolo is all over it and said this isn't going to pass muster.

Sorry OP, let's hope this is temporary.

Been following this one, sucks when intent and wording of the law differ, but that's just part of our system of government. Reminds me of a few years back Texas decided to do away with requiring a license plate on the front of your car, but thanks to a typo/mistake they actually did away with requiring license plates period. It was fixed in a couple weeks, but was still pretty funny. Best of luck to you guys.
