    922(r) and SBR

    So for years the prevailing wisdom was the 922(r) did not apply to SBRs. I recently saw on another site an official looking ATF opinion dated July 2009 that seems to state that 922(r) does in fact apply to registered SBRs. Anybody got any definitive info on this?

    Are semi auto SBRs importable?

    That policy is under review.

    There is a lot of interest in this now, much of it due to the MKE produced HK94/SP89 pistols that have been recently imported.

    A pistol is importable. I don't think a non-full auto SBR exists which IS importable.

    I think the concern comes into play when someone wants to convert one of the MKE pistols into a MP5 configuration by adding a buttstock (thus creating a SBR). At that point the pistol becomes a rifle, and thus there is concern about 922(R) coming into effect.
