Quoted: At first glance it appears that a SBR for hunting is prohibited based on the her letter but NRS 202.275 obviously allows posession with a tax stamp. ETA- Thanks for the update I think they were going to make the point that rifles must have specific ballistic energy, but got sidetracked. I was just looking that up, too. 12" .300 Blk with a can probably fits in that envelope.

This one is a bit muddled, seems to contradict itself at first reading.
"Short barreled rifles and shotguns must be of legal length, per NRS 202.275. A rifle must have a barrel length of at least 16” with an overall length of the rifle being at least 26”. A shotgun must have a barrel length of at least 18” with an overall length of the shotgun being at least 26”." |

I can shoot coyotes with a full auto suppressed rifle but it must have a 16" barrel? that makes no sense at all. |

So is a shotgun!

Here is NRS 202.275:
NRS 202.275 Possession, manufacture or disposition of short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun: Penalty; exceptions. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a person who knowingly or willfully possesses, manufactures or disposes of any short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130. 2. For purposes of this section: (a) "Short-barreled rifle" means: (1) A rifle having one or more barrels less than 16 inches in length; or (2) Any weapon made from a rifle, whether by alteration, modification or other means, with an overall length of less than 26 inches. (b) "Short-barreled shotgun" means: (1) A shotgun having one or more barrels less than 18 inches in length; or (2) Any weapon made from a shotgun, whether by alteration, modification or other means, with an overall length of less than 26 inches. 3. This section does not prohibit: (a) The possession or use of any short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun by any peace officer when authorized to do so in the performance of official duties; (b) The possession of any short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun by a person who is licensed as a firearms importer, manufacturer, collector or dealer by the United States Department of the Treasury, or by a person to whom such a rifle or shotgun is registered with the United States Department of the Treasury; or (c) The possession of any short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun that has been determined to be a collector's item pursuant to 26 U.S.C. Chapter 53 or a curio or relic pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44. (Added to NRS by 1977, 879; A 1979, 1434; 1991, 1136; 1995, 1206; 2005, 64) Emphasis mine. Looks to me like SBR and SBS are legal to use along with suppressors as long as all of them are registered with the ATF. Thank you very much Gunmonkey for following up on this!

Quoted: Quoted: Looks like possession of an unregistered (no tax stamp) SBR is legal under state law for someone with a C&R FFL I believe it's limited to certain types of SBR's of a certain age or greater (if memory serves). I think you are correct, like the Marble's Game Getter. |
