Ok, I know if you want a barrel shorter than 16in you have to register it w/ATF. I am wanting to build a post-ban rifle with these options, Pistol grip Perm attached muzzlebreak Folding stock 11.5in Barrel Is it possible to do so by registering it whith the ATF as I would if I just wanted a 11.5in barrel? If not, then can any of you give me information as to where I can get a pre-ban FAL (metric) reciever? I am willing to pay up to $1250 for the reciever only, I dont want a complete gun |
| A lower receiver can only be used as a pistol if it was from day one classed a pistol receiver.If you take a lower and get it classified as a short barrel rifle(under 16") it will all was be a short barrel rifle even if later you install a barrel over 16".This makes it harder to sell because who ever buys the rifle will have to pay the $200 tax stamp again unless they are class 3. |

I never inquired about the 11.5" Barrel I do know the 14.5" Barrel is legal on a post ban if you have a permantely fixed muzzle break and the barrel does measure 16" or longer with the attached muzzle break, I bought one for my DPMS. I never inquired about the 11.5" Barrel |

Quoted: ... 2. Per the ATF, you must buy the who gun in preban form, otherwise taking it out of pre-ban form turns it into a post ban - get this - forever. That's not quite what the ATF says. Provided that the original parts were held by the owner and reinstalled on the rifle, it is our opinion that the rifle would still qualify as an exempted semiautomatic assault weapon even though it had been temporarily assembled different configuration. We note that mere disassembly of a semiautomatic weapon by an owner would not remove the firearm from the definition of a semiautomatic assault weapon nor would the reassembly constitute manufacture of a prohibited semiautomatic assault weapon. You are corect that he can't buy just a preban receiver and asseble as a preban. However, disassembly doesn't change it's status. 15mm, you best be looking for a preban RIFLE, not just a receiver.
