Why do you have a SBR? Any particular reason or need? Just wondering why you own one. Thanks Because we can. |

I really like the balance of the weapon, especially with a suppressor on the end.

Because a 16.25" barrel plus 6" of suppressor would be very long, but a 10.5" barrel plus 6" of suppressor works out nicely. And if it is something that doesn't require a buffer tube like a traditional DI AR15 then you store or carry it in a lot of places including the center console of some cars.

Why would anyone ever only have one? That's crazy talk.

I don't need short barrel rifles but I sure like them. A 16" plus barrel with a suppressor is too long on anything but precision or hunting rifles.

Because some of us don't need to over compensate with a longer barrel.....
Because it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it... 'MERICA!!!! |

Okay, another question. If I wanted to do an AR SBR, would it be better (functioning and expense wise) to buy an AR pistol, have it on the "Form" and then add a stock of my choice or use a rifle and change out the upper to a short barrel, after obtaining my stamp?
Thanks |

If you are going to build a form 1 then building it as a pistol allows you to function check the lower before spending another $200 on it.

Thanks Function it should make no difference. Cost could go either way too depending on what you currently have. |

On my last one, I told the ATF that my reason for wanting it was "Chicks Dig Stubby Barrels." I think I have a clip of my F4 somewhere....

Because you can't shoulder a pistol.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Because you can't shoulder a pistol. Sure you can, the ATF even explained that how one holds ones weapon doesn't change its class or nomenclature. Of course, they changed their minds and said you can't shoulder a Sig Brace but that doesn't mean you can't shoulder a pistol AR with a Paracord wrapped buffer tube with a tennis ball on the end (for visibility of course so one doesn't poke their eye out with an unsafe bare pistol buffer tube)! Actually saw this at a range in NC two weeks ago. Ruling pending after some idiot asks the ATF if its OK or not. Odd how ATF contradicts themselves twice in the same paragraph. You can hold or shoulder an AR15 pistol without a Sig Brace anyway you like and its still an AR15 Pistol. Take the same AR15 pistol holding it anyway you like but mount a vertical grip to the rail and now all of a sudden its an AOW and illegal! Replace the vertical grip with a Magpul angled grip and Voila, its legal again! Take the same AR15 pistol and put a Sig Brace on it and its still an AR15 Pistol, shoulder said Sig Brace AR15 pistol and Voila, its now an illegal SBR! But Mr Agent Man, I am not shouldering the Sig Brace, I just have it really close to my shoulder for proper sight alignment/sight picture, Doh! This is all just fun reading of recent ATF rulings and is for entertainment, not legal advice. |

Home defense while preserving my hearing.
They are cool as hell. Once you have owned one, they multiply and anything that isn't an sbr is really only good in certain situations. Re: pistol? What config are you wanting to end up with? I think alot of the appeal there is to get the weapon prior to a form being approved so everything can be setup/ vetted (minus the stock of course) before getting married to the lower. |

I think the real question is, Why would you have a long barrel with an intermediate cartridge?
This is after Accurate Ordnance did mine in Patriot Brown. 1x4 has been replaced with a micro red dot. |

I was just thinking of a 10.5" barrel version. Still kicking the idea around, so I'm not sure what I want. As you mentioned, I could have the pistol and be shooting it while waiting on paperwork, then slap a stock on it and go (after having the pistol engraved). |

I have a few stripped lowers laying around and I am going to do a SBR. I can't decide what caliber. I'm leaning toward a 10" .300 Blk.

Yep, no question; the balance and feel of an SBR rifle whether suppressed or not is excellent.
