THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT 8/10/2012 House Governor Approved 8/10/2012 House Public Act . . . . . . . . . 97-0936 Cliff note: SBRs will be legal on Jan 1, 2013, so long as the possessor has a C&R FFL (and complies with applicable federal procedures for making/transferring an NFA firearm).

So all you need is a c&r, and you can now own sbr's in IL?
Not possible. Can't be that easy. |

I don't read it that way...the fix places the "OR" between the options now making it read "A" OR "B". sounds to me, all you need is a C&R.
I've got my Form1 ready to go...we'll see what happens. DC |

FileForge is right. The "or" means everything here. This is good news

in the C&R/SBR bill adopted a few months ago, wasn't it a comma before the pivotal OR rather than a semicolon?

So C&R and tax stamp (form 1 is it?)
What do you put for question 10c on the C&R app? C. Are you in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States?
1. If you answered "NO," you likely cannot lawfully possess a firearm and therefore cannot be a federal firearms licensee. 2. If you answered "YES," complete the following information, and attach a copy of the hunting license or permit to the application. |

DC That is the way I read it, and I cannot believe the current governor would remotely consider signing it. If that is the case, I'll be filling out some paperwork ASAP. |

Answer "YES," write your FOID number down, and make a copy of your FOID card to include with the application. Edited. Only non-immigrant aliens must complete 10(A)-10(C). |

As I read it this section:
"and the overall length of the weapon as modified is not less than 26 inches." only pertains to the re-enactors (part B) section. Right? |

Correct, because (A) and (B) are completely independent clauses. That is, they exist independently of each other and can be read isolated. |

It does seem impossible that its this easy...but the reading is clear.
All one needs is a C&R license (plus federal requirements) to own an SBR in Illinois. Unbelievable. |

I really hope this is the case!
Will the Feds issue a stamp for a SBR when the owner is not lawfully entitled to own one in their state? That may be the acid test. |

So, no need for us native born folks to complete Section 10, right? |

So, does the sbr need to qualify as a curio & relic, or is any sbr now ok with a c&r license?

We do have to fill out Form 5330.20 Certification of Compliance though. |

I read it the same way bssrf4 did as well. The statute says nothing about the rifle actually having to be a C&R. It merely states that a person who possesses a C&R license may legally possess an SBR. |

Ok so if this comes to be the case, what are the steps one needs to go through to obtain a C&R, and register a lower?

For the C&R: Fill out Form 5310.16 (Application for License (FFL) Collector of Curios and Relics) and Form 5330.20 (Certification of Compliance). ATF C&R forms. To get your $200 tax stamp so your SBR is legal: Fill out Form 5320.1 ("Form 1"). |

It looks as if Question 13 on Form 1 will be the test.
Your CLEO sign his name below this statement: "I have no information indicating that the maker will use the firearm or device described on this application for other than lawful purposes. I have no information that Possession of the Firearm described in Item 4 on the Front of this Form would place the maker in Violation of State or Local Law." At least you'll find out if you have an issue prior to sending in your $200. I guess we'll need to bring a copy of the statute and our newly issued C&R licenses with us and be prepared to explain the ins and outs of the new statute. Hopefully no lawsuits will be required to force CLEO compliance. |

I'll be talking with my CLEO hopefully on Monday. I'm small town downstate, but this will be a good starting point to open the discussion. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. I CANNOT believe the blackout pistol is finally going to get SBR'd!
