I bought my barrel, receivers and buffer kit to start the paperwork for my SBR (for overall length), the other parts will come with time.

What is the overall length of my SBR?  From the end of the barrel (with no muzzle device) to the end of the buffer tube?  Or do I measure to the end of a collapsed stock?  Or to the end of an extended stock?

I've always put the shortest possible configuration of the firearm (including collapsed stock).

Measure with stock extended.

What's your barrel length?
Safest to add (for an AR) 18 inches for overall.
Like stated-that is with the stock extended.
Just finished my own paperwork and sending off today.

Overall length with standard adjustable stock would be ~30.5".

I thought an SBR had to be less than 26"? Wouldn't that be to the end of the buffer tube? Or does the ATF not follow that rule?

An SBR is under 26" in overall length -OR- with a barrel under 16" in length.

Only one of the two conditions need be met.
