If I SBR an AR receiver, can I do it in any available caliber for that platform? Would it then be legal to go from pistol config back to rifle? |
On occaison. I want to go 10.5" & 5" (or 7.5") and add a suppressor. Would be nice to have to option to go to a 5" pistol should I desire. So is it legal once SBR'd? |
That I'm not sure of, but I will tell you you can have multiple uppers for an SBR and the buttstock doesn't add length (because of the buffer tube already being there), and a buttstock would be extra nice with the added muzzle weight of a suppressor (would be way out of balance otherwise), so I don't get it. |
Cool. I knew that once a pistol, if you added a stock it could never legally be converted back to a pistol. Wasn't sure if the SBR status would affect that. |
The following is okay: - Start with a pistol - Remove the pistol-length barrel - Add a rifle-length barrel - Add a shoulder stock The following is also okay: - Start with a pistol in rifle configuration - Remove the shoulder stock - Remove the rifle-length barrel - Add a pistol-length barrel Just make sure you never have a pistol-length barrel and a shoulder stock at the same time. |
I don't think that is correct. After talking with the ATF, a pistol can never have been in rifle configuration. |
Please read the AR15 Pistol SHORT FAQ. I know it's confusing, but it's all explained there. |
