| what are the steps to get SBR? and is the tax stamp 200$ a year? |
There is a tacked thread at the top of the MNHTF. http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=327 I would start there.

The 200 dollar tax is a one time tax.... and I have no idea about the SBR's although a gunsmith told me once that the only SBR's you can own have to be pre '68..... Your gunsmith is wrong I thought it sounded wrong, So are SBR's legal here then? I read the link above and it says they are legal but then it says "This is accurate, to the best of my knowledge, as of 12/30/2001" Which doesn't do much good in 2010?

Mostly because the law hasen't changed since then... My only question is - does anyone know if the Wright County Sheriff will sign a form? Or do I need to go the trust route?

Not sure about Wrght county... What helped me in Carver county was to include a "letter of intent" along with paperwork. This cover letter of sorts, was just a few words explaining what I was planning to build and why. Also, if possible, make an appointment to meet with the Sheriff when you deliver your forms. It kind of adds a lil' personal touch to the process and gives you a chance to explain the letter and answer any questions. Overkill? Possibly. But I have yet to be turned down and have had forms signed by three different people. They want you to play their game... So why not play it the best you can!!

ok thanks guys, i was asking for my brother he is thinking of getting a 10.5 or a 7.5' 6.8spc. A piece of friendly advice... Your brother may want to go a bit longer in length. From what I've seen and read, the "real shorties" in 6.8SPC can be a real bear to tune. I went 12.5" with my 6.8 and it runs GREAT! A little extra MV ain't bad to have either. Especially on a round that is supposed to drop to the ground at 300 yards. I'm glad that doe I shot with mine hadn't heard that... If she had, that 110gr bullet would have dropped about 20 feet short!!

I'm doing a 7" 30-221(300 whisper). the drop is only like 90-100 inches at 300 yards 
The local chief has my F1, hopefully he'll sign it off, he claims that he's never seen one before. Jon |

i understand what you are saying, i'm thinking he would use it when we do some drives a few areas we hunt can't see more than 50-75 yards in the deer stand. |

I did submit my forms to the head honcho, but he passed them on to his chief deputy, who was in charge of EVERYTHING firearm related (both LEO and civi) to sign. He's also who signs off on the permit to purchase and CCW apps... The chief deputy had never seen a F1 or any NFA stuff before. The first F1 took almost 2 weeks to get signed. Now, all I have to do is call his office, make an appointment to meet with him, and he fills them out on the spot!

At those ranges, I'd think almost any barrel length would work. I was speaking mainly of functionality of the firearm itself. The "super shorties" use a pistol length gas system and they can be tough to tune. Dwell time issues I believe... (not sure if that's the correct term) Anywho... With a little longer (carbine length) gas system, those issues are dang near eliminated. My apologizes to the OP for this lil' hijack.... Carry on.
