Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can a short barreled rifle be a SAW?
Posted: 8/13/2002 9:04:12 PM EDT
I'm thinking of getting an 11.5" heavy upper because, as I understand the law, a registered short barreled rifle would be exept from the assault weapon ban.  Am I wrong on this, or can I spend $200 on a tax stamp rather than something along the lines of $1000 for a preban lower?

its my understanding that a sbr is not exempt
from that set of rules.

An SBR is NOT exempt.  An SBR is a Short Barreled Rifle, and as a rifle, it is subject to the AW ban.

Machine guns and AOW are not rifles or handguns, and aren't bound by SAW laws.  Pistols, rifles, and shotguns are.
