[QUOTE="starpacker, post: 903402, member: 4515"] The firearm as made at the "factory", be it rifle or pistol, sets the requirments. A pistol, having a shoulder stock attached, be it folded or not, must have a 16" barrel or falls into the SBR catagory. When ATF Stamped as a SBR, it will remain such and even removing the stock will NOT change it's classification by ATF. A Rifle, having a shorter than 16" barrel requires an ATF stamp as a SBR. Again once classified, even changing the barrel to one of 16" or more, does NOT change the ATF classification. Exsample: An AR style rifle, the serial numbered lower reciever is the actuall SBR. You (the ATF stamped owner) can legally change uppers to a longer barrel without a problem. However should you wish to sell, trade the lower reciever even as just a lower or with a normal rifle upper on it. The ATF requires you to transfer it as a SBR. Exsample 2: A KelTec PLR-16, 5.56 pistol has a 9.5 inch barrel. If a shoulder stock or even a vertical forarm grip is attached, it becomes a SBR and ATF stamp is required to remain legal. [/QUOTE]
