I did a Googley search but didn't exactly see what I was looking for, might have missed it...figured I would ask here. I don't normally participate much outside of Precision Rifle here, so please be gentle if this is a stupid question
Recently got a NFA trust set up and have two suppressors pending under the trust. On the trust I have myself, my wife, and my two boys aged 5 and 2 as trustees; I understand the boys cannot posses NFA items until they are of legal age.
I want to SBR my lowers, including the lowers I have purchased for my children, but am concerned about my boys being able to use them when they are older but yet 18 without myself or my wife immediately present.
Is my understanding correct that a registered SBR lower, not configured as a SBR (ie. the registered SBR lower has a barrel 16" or greater installed), is not legally considered an SBR and therefore would not be subject to NFA possession restrictions?
If that understanding is correct, is it then safe to assume that a registered SBR lower, not configured as a SBR, would not require an approved 5320.20 for transport across state lines?
I just want to make sure there isn't a downside I can't see for registering all the lowers in the near term...and while I could talk to my trust attorney or somebody at ATF, I'm sure I'm not the first and won't be the last with these types of questions.
Thanks in advance...
