SBR questions form newbie
I want to obtain a SBR for my wife. This will be used as a home defense weapon. She is very comfortable is shooting and operating my AR-15 at the range. The issue is the use of one in a close environment. We tried it at a private range that has an older house the owner converting in a close combat environment simulator. She has issues with being able to aim and control the weapon in this type of situation. I have thought about a semi-auto SBR in 5.56. However, I am not sure what I need to do to obtain one.
Also would in need to buy a complete weapon or can I just by a pistol upper and attach it to my rifle? My original idea was to just buy an upper, but I was not sure how I need to register it? And does it affect the “legal” ability” to switch out the SBR upper with another rifle upper of the same caliber?
Thanks for any help. By the way I live in North Carolina and have been told it is hard to obtain one here. Does anyone know if this is true?
