Kind of a weird question.  I have an M&P pistol that has been registered as an SBR.  I have a Recover Tactical chasis with stock for when I want it in "rifle" mode, but otherwise its a regular pistol.  I want to gift it to a friend.  I'm aware of the Form 4 process, but do we also need to have a dealer do a BGC like I was transferring a regular title 1 handgun?

Thanks in advance!

If you are both in the same state, just do a form 4 transfer. Once it clears, hand it to your friend. No dealer required for in state transfer of a form 4 item.

An SBR meets the definition of a "firearm", same as a handgun. I do believe you have to transfer through a dealer.

OK.  It's probably best to be on the safe side, regardless.  Thanks
