We were at the gun show and saw alot of good stuff
 one thing that i saw was short AR uppers like 9 or 10" I thought they were illegal unless you had a special permit? my friend claims they are legal to buy, sell own as long as you dont have a AR nearby plus they can be used for AR pistols so they are perfectly legal? can somebody clear this up? i am new to SBR's... |

As long as you don't put it on a rifle lower I believe they are OK to own. I don't know if constructive posession(or whatever it is called) applies as much to short uppers. Just say you found a good deal on it, and are planning on putting it on a pistol lower.

So you could buy a 11.5 inch upper no problem as long as you paid the SBR tax before you assembled it? |

i do not see why anyone shouel be imprisoned 10 years and/or fined $10 for a $5 tax evasion (and it is an unconstitutional tax on a right)

i think this works the same as having FA parts without a FA reciever. its illegal becasue they can't watch you all the time, and dont know what you'll do with it. besides, why would you own parts that you arent going to use?

If you the upper no problem
If you have the upper and a lower that it's legal to use on (SBR or pistol) no problem If you have the upper and only a standard AR lower (Not an SBR or pistol) you have a problem. You're stuck having to explain why you have parts that you have no way of making a legal configuration with at that very moment. See US v Thompson Center |

I have noticed small arms review says short barreled uppers are only for M16's? |

Oh sure, if you had a short upper you wouldn't mount it.

Yes. People do that all the time. They get the parts, apply for the stamp, then wait to receive the paper to mate them. An 11.5" would also be legal with a permanent 5.5" FH. Also, if you didn't install a stock, then it could be a pistol upper and not necessarily a SBR. |

The SBR tax is $5? I thought it was $200.

No, AOW transfer is $5, unless you build it yourself then it is $200. SBR is $200. |
