Please direct me if this is in the wrong spot
I am new to the AR family and was wondering... Is the AR Pistol the same as an AR15 but with a shorter barrel and no stock? Does it use .223? I see some with 9mm and .22 ? Is this correct? And why does it need tax stamps? Registered as pistols? Thanks |

Yes the same Does it use .223? I see some with 9mm and .22 ? Is this correct? Can use any caliber as a rifle And why does it need tax stamps? It doesn't need a stamp Registered as pistols? Not registered in free states Thanks |

16" for shoulder stock & no stamp. Under 16" w/stock = SBR. SBR = Short Barreled Rifle, an NFA taxed item (the stamp).
Buffer tube w/out shoulder stock, no length requirements (as long as lower is legal for pistol construction...) Making pistol from rifle is verboten. Legal pistol lower is one first constructed into a functional firearm w/out a having a shoulder stock (and not on a form 4473 as a rifle...). Nick (BTW 300blk makes for good pistol caliber). |
