| i have read the post on filling out form 1 and i am stuck at 4f. i live in CT and we need to pin our collapsible stocks or use a pre ban lower. i don't have a pre ban so that's out. my question is when i need to make the overal length measurement do i pin the stock in the position i want and then measure it or do i measure it fully extended and then pin it where i want it to be? i usually pin my stocks fully extended on my fullsize rifles but i think a few poistions in woudl be more comfortable for me on an sbr. any help would be appreciated. |

Usually you measure with the stock extended. However, I'm not up on CT law so I'm not sure. Also, I think CT was the state that didn't like the usual "All lawful purposes" for the reason you're manufacturing the gun. If I remember correctly using "Research and Development" was the way to go. Someone from CT will surely chime in with the correct info.

You would measure the rifle in the condition it's going to exist. If that means partially collapsed, then that's where you should measure it.
The state of CT has nothing to say about the reason you are building the rifle- that's a question on a Federal form. There is at least one state out there (one of the Carolinas?) that only allows posession of these rifles for R&D, so that has to be indicated on the form or ATF won't approve the application. CT doesn't even reecognize the existance of SBRs- there's no statutory definition of one and any barrel length is fine until you get below 12". Then your rifle becomes a handgun somehow. |
