I have a few ARs and I've decided I want to take the plunge and make one an SBR. I know the process to file, but my question is this: Suppose the following: You're an ATF agent and you execute a search warrant on my home. Inside you find the following: - Five AR15s, each with an attached non-NFA upper (16" barrel or longer) - One of these five is registered as a SBR - Two short-barrel uppers (a 14.5" and a 10.5") You then interview me and I state that "I only attach those short barrel uppers to my registered SBR AR15". I recall reading that even having the materials in possession to create an unregistered NFA weapon is a federal crime. Can I face any kind of prosecution because I have more short-barrel uppers than I do registered receivers? Thanks, _MaH |
IMHO: You could be prosecuted, but since you've already gone through the paperwork to register an SBR, it would be hard to prove you intended on having an illegal SBR. |
