I'm looking for a barrel to send to Adco for some work. I want a 14.5 barrel.
If I own other complete AR's and have an extra built lower lying around, can I buy a stripped 14.5" barrel and have it in the house before I ship it out to Adco? |

The problem is when you have a complete lower laying around. For instance, if you have 2 complete rifles, and a 11" barrel in the safe, no problem. If you have 1 complete rifle, 1 lower and the 11" barrel, now it's constructive possession. Now lets even be more confusing and say that extra lower is a pistol lower on your 4473. Now no problem again. It's just not something worth screwing with in my opinion. I didn't buy anything to complete my SBR until my stamp was in hand. |

If you have a short barrel and an AR rifle of any type - complete or not - hide your dogs. |

Like I said, it's not worth screwing with the ATF and their idea of gray areas. But, if what you say is true, then someone cannot own a AR pistol and an AR rifle at the same time. Unless having a legal lower for the short barrel, whether it's pistol or SBR is the difference. |

The way I understand it, if you have at least one pistol lower or SBR lower, you can own whatever you want. If you don't have a pistol lower or SBR lower, you can't. At any rate, that seems to be the best way to play it safe. |
