I'm in the process of making an SBR and I also have other AR15 rifles of non-NFA lengths. My SBR will soon be registered with a 10.5" .223 upper. I'm also interested in purchasing a Spike's Tactical .22 upper for use only with my (soon to be) legal SBR. So, is it legal to own more than one AR15 upper with a barrel less than 16"? If I had two 10.5" .223 uppers, I could understand the ATF's concern - but if I have two uppers in two different calibers is it legal? Any case law on this? |
I thought it was the other way around?? You had to have enough non-SBR uppers to make complete rifles of your non-SBR lowers. |
R_G, you are correct. You need to have enough legal length uppers to complete any lower you have. You can have as many SBR/pistol uppers as you want, so long as you have complete rifles and no unmated title 1 rifle lowers laying around. Where the "constructive possesion" comes into play is when you have a rifle lower laying around, unmated to an upper, along with multiple spare SBR uppers and no 16" or greater uppers. The only way the lower could be completed is with a spare SBR upper, essentially making it an unregistered SBR. However, this is a moot point if all your lowers are pistol lowers. |
