Ok, I know this doesnt go here so feel free to move it to the NFA section if thats whats required. Im asking here because the NFA section has ZERO posts.
I want to SBR (short barrelled rifle) a post ban Krink. Its my understanding that; A. I can do this as an individual, ie., its does not require having a Class 2, or 3 dealer's involvement, and B. The proper form is a form 1. Additionally, I will need an LEO sign off, fingerprint cards, my picture and a $200 check to BATF.
Rant: So I call ATF to confirm (I must have a gulity conscience because this gave me a stomach ache and heart palpitations) and no one knows. Get told to call local branch in Ok City. Agent there says, he's not sure this can be done on a weapon specifically named in the AWB. Call tech branch. Get transfered. Finally end up being told I need to write them a letter to get an answer. The response "SHOULD" only take 30 days. Yes, another example of my tax dollars at work (or not).
So the questions:
1. Can a post ban Krinkov be SBR'ed? - I think yes.
2. Can be done by a private nonlicensed (FFL) person? - I think yes.
3. I will need a completed Form 1, fingerprint cards, passport photos, $200 check and LEO signoff stating that I'm not a bad guy and an SBR'd weapon doesnt violate any local laws.
4. Mail all of 3 to ATF.
5. Wait FOREVER, get approved form 1 and tax stamp back.
6. Remove fake can from Krink.
Please advise and sorry about the length.
