Filling out Form 1 paperwork, making a SBR w/5" barrel and a longer (9-10") handguard. Is the weapon's OAL to the end of the barrel or the end of the handguard?

Thanks

Quoted:
OAL of the firearm is the distance, along the axis of the bore, between the two longest points of the gun. So in your case OAL would be from the end of the handguard to the end of the extended stock (if that is applicable to your firearm).

The above information is not correct. The length of the firearm for the purposes of a form 1 or 4 is from the end of the barrel to the end of the buttstock. The fact that the hand guard extends past the barrel is irrelevant. If the stock folds or collapses, the measurement is done with the stock fully extended.

Thank you for the correction. I'm sorry I posted incorrect info to the OP.
