| I know this has been run into the ground but I want to know the latest ruling. Are multiple SBR uppers allowed with a single SBR lower? |

And what is the ruling on putting a stock and 16" upper on a registered pistol lower? Not really sure on that as I dont own a pistol lower...so i dont knwo the rules as well as I do with NFA stuff. Im sure someone on here will know, thats how I got all my info.

| Thats what I thought. Just wanted to make sure nothing had changed. I understand the ATF ruling on the Contender does not apply to AR's. In another thread a member said according to "Quarterbore.net", whoever that is, that it was legal because of the Contender ruling. |

In another thread a member said according to "Quarterbore.net", whoever that is, that it was legal because of the Contender ruling. I was only referencing the AR pistol FAQ. If the Ar pistol FAQ is giving out false information about switching, maybe it should be changed as soon as possible. Q: Wait a minute. You said I could build a rifle from my pistol? But I can't build a pistol from a rifle? A: Correct. Q: What if I built it as a pistol first, then a rifle? A: That's the only exception. If you build a pistol from a virgin receiver first, take some pictures and date them. Hang on to them. Then build your rifle. If you ever want to turn it back into a pistol, take the stock off FIRST, then put the pistol barrel back on. Q: Who else jumps through these ridiculous hoops? A: Thomson/Center Contender owners. We have them to thank that we can even switch back and forth: http://www.quarterbore.net/forums/showthread.php?t=169 another link to Quaterbores Site Step away from AR-15s for a minute, and let's pretend you have a single shot T/C Contender with a 10" barrel, in say, .223. It's LOUD. But you want to nail some jackrabbits out there, so you need a little more accuracy and a little less drop. Q: A longer barrel? A: Yes, and in this case, let's say you want a shoulder stock. So you buy a 16" T/C barrel, and you buy the shoulder stock attachment. So you take the 10" barrel off FIRST, then you install the 16" barrel and shoulder stock. When you're done with jackrabbits and want your 10" barrel back on, you take the shoulder stock off FIRST and then swap out the barrels. Q: So I can do the same thing with ARs? A: Yes. Just never never NEVER build a pistol out of a rifle receiver. |
| As I've mentioned before, the ATF's opinion that the Contender ruling only applies to Contenders is totally bogus and would probably get laughed out of court (did Roe v. Wade only apply to one woman? Did DC v. Heller only apply to Dick Heller? Did Brown v. Board of Education only apply to Oliver Brown?). However, someone will have to be the test case, which is an unenviable position for people who don't want to risk jail time or heavy fines. |
