It's registered as a SBR, short barreled rifle. Meaning its for use with an upper that has a less than 16" barrel.
ok thank you ill jus get the other lower
No, by law, if it does not have bbl or the bbl is >16 (and it meets oal) it is not an SBR. Thus that picture is not an SBR. Put a 16 bbl on it is legally just another rifle.
I never looked at the photo, but he asked about a short barrelled rifle. If an SBR, the lower is the registered item. If it is registered, the length of the barrel - 11.5", 14.5", 16", 20" etc. - is irrelevant. You still own an SBR until removed from the registry.
My understanding is that you haven't constructed and/or aren't in possession of an SBR unless you've mounted an upper on it with less than a 16 inch barrel.
The question might be moot. Will the BATF approve a Form 4 or a Form 1 for an SBR for someone who lives in New Jersey where SBRs are illegal by statute? Will the local CLEO sign off on it?
Apparently you never looked at the law, the ATF rulings, or the Case Law either. :-)
It is not an SBR if it is not in an SBR configuration. Thus without a BBL, it is not an SBR.
[(8) The term ``short-barreled rifle'' means a rifle having one or more barrels less than sixteen inches in length and any weapon made from a rifle (whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise) if such weapon, as modified, has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches.
If it does not HAVE a bbl, it cannot be an SBR. Registration staus has nothing to do with it. SBR receivers are not defined the same way MG receivers are.
ATF letter saying transporting a registered SBR receiver across state lines is not a violation since it is not a SBR (page 2, but entire letter shown) - Page 1, Page 2,Page 3
