| recently sent in my paperwork for my sbr. i just started to think about people who have a short bbl. pistol. whats the nfa difference? i mean, if you have a pistol buffer on your ar, does that mean its classified in that config. as a pistol and it does not need to be nfa registered? don`t understand the diff. and wondering why anyone would put just the foam covered tube on. i can`t think you could shoulder fire it like that. it would be like shooting a T/C i guess. |

thanks for clarification. if i would have known that i could have saved myself the $200 tax. i was going to use it on my st-22 from spikes. being a .22 it still could be held pretty well at shoulder with out the pain. oh well! True, but now when you get your stamp back you will have a versatile lower that can have any upper put on it. As long as it can be returned to its original stated length. Plus it offers a wider variety for different applications. Your not just stuck with a pistol. You chage uppers on a registered SBR. |
| If the upper and bbl were some how perm attached could you add the receiver length to bbl length? Kind of like a pinned and welded fh. Obviously being from PRK I don't have a snow balls chance in h3ll of getting a SBR, just curious if this has been discussed/tried. |

Quoted: No, barrel length is measured from the breech to the muzzle. It doesn't matter how much extends behind the breech, it can't be counted as part of the barrel's length.If the upper and bbl were some how perm attached could you add the receiver length to bbl length?
