So...I've been given 3 different answers by 3 different folks at the ATF...Wondering if anyone has some CYA advice.
I DID search - Got my other questions answered but, this one sticks out.
Up to this point, I've been using agency weapons to instruct on, wanted to get out of that trend and get my own "thing" going...Will return to that if there's a foreseeable issue.
I have 2 registered 5.56 10.5" SBR's.
I also have 2 300BLK uppers and a 9mm with insert.
One agent told me that I could not go BELOW the registered length in any caliber but, I could swap as much as my heart desires.
The other told me I could do whatever I wanted AS LONG AS I could return the weapon to it's ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION AS REGISTERED, on location.
The final agent told me I had to leave it as it was.
Now...Here's the question.
I really want to go 7.5" for 9mm, really want to go shorter with a piston on one of the 5.56s, probably 8"...
Anyway, what's the go/no go...Local Class 3 said the last guy was full of shit and truthfully, I don't mind carrying the "original configurations around" but, do I need to?
