    Are you sure about that? If so, can anyone else chime in as to whether this is still the case? I always thought the Form 1 asked for overall length rather than barrel length?

    I myself haven't done that but I personally know others that have and their Form 1's were approved just as stated above.

    How long ago do they get those approvals? Just asking becasue I know a lot of things have been changing lately with the approval process. I have seen a few guys get rejected for entering "Multi" under the caliber section....which used to be okay.

    You should replace your barrel with a factory 14.5" instead of it having it cut down.

    I've never been willing to have even the best barrel dudes cut on a Colt barrel. I just can't bring myself to do it. Even if it meant paying out the butt to get a factory barrel of the length I want.

    Better yet, call Clyde Armory and order a 6933 or 6921 for about the same as you will pay for a 6920 and not have to fool with engraving the lower or cutting the barrel down. You will come out cheaper that way, and have a colt lower that says M4.

    A 10.5 with suppressor would put you right about 16" overall barrel length if and when you decide to go that route. Should be easier to handle that way. Also the Form 1 I just completed which I got in the mail from the ATF the other day asked for both barrel length and overall length.

    Holy Crap


    What a bunch of red tape for such trivial differences.

    Really great info you guys pass along, thats why I love reading the forums here, I am gonna ask the Class III dealer I am using, see what he says, Ideally the best way would be to either state "Barrel less than 16"" or List them out as 7.5 10.5 11.5 14.5.

    Rest assured I have decided against cutting my barrel down, I just cant bring myself to cutting a beautiful brand new barrel down. Heck I haven't even fired it yet.

    With that being said, anyone have a new or good used Colt 14.5 upper they wanna trade. Or I might just hold on to it.
