Assuming one goes the NFA route, and assuming everything is done on time, why wouldn't one pick up a Magpul or other AR rear and make it a true SBR?
Cause a standard stock can always be bought later and not leave you open to constructive intent.Assuming one goes the NFA route, and assuming everything is done on time, why wouldn't one pick up a Magpul or other AR rear and make it a true SBR?
Yes, if I decide to do so.You planning to do this during the 120 days "amnesty"?
Agreed it seems shady. The government never gives up money without a hitch.I was going to go the suppressor route except for the time frame involved. There is no way the form 4’s would be approved by the deadline. I really believe this rule is being pushed by the current administration, not the ATF. This would be an easy way to disarm a large portion of the 2A community. Charge you with a felony, confiscate all your firearms.
Not very convenient when you need to repair or clean the suppresser. I’ll just sbr the suppressor hosts, since that was my plan anyway before this.The long wait for the suppressor is what made me think of getting a faux suppressor pinned and welded while waiting on the form 4 approval. Then get the real suppressor pinned and welded to the barrel. Of course the suppressor would have to be long enough to make the barrel length 16". Just something I'm thinking about as an alternative to doing the SBR thing and then adding a suppressor anyway.
The Q&A says you may put a regular rifle stock on it once your Form 1 is approved.Assuming one goes the NFA route, and assuming everything is done on time, why wouldn't one pick up a Magpul or other AR rear and make it a true SBR?
Sometimes chaos makes for good cover. Just like waiting to file, I’ll let others parade their eform copies in front of the feds, local LE and range nazi noses first.Yes, if I decide to do so.
However, I think it's gonna be a mess. If it gets upheld, then the 120 day window will only be good for the fee-less SBR stamp. Where it gets squirrely is the 6 months to two years of approving everything. Per the rule and FAQs, once you submit in the window, keep a copy of the eform1 for validation that you have submitted, otherwise, shooting or transporting it can be construed as an illegal NFA weapon or constructive intent. You'll have thousands of people running around with their new found SBRs and a copy of an Eform1 to CYA while they are approving applications en masse. It'll be chaos.
If one reads the entire rule (291 pages) one will find that the 120 Day action period is the window for changing your stuff or doing an Eform1. It is not the period for approval.

"Constructive intent" is all over the Interwebz, but "constructive possession" is the correct term.it can be construed as an illegal NFA weapon or constructive intent.
