wanted an SBR ,settling for a pistol.

can anyone tell me if I need to make any other change to my build other than the lack of a stock on the buffer tube? thanks

Get a specialized buffer tube that can't have a stock attached or modify a regular tube so that a stock is not easily attached.

Or just leave it alone and don't worry about it.

Ya know what, screw it! I just,this minute found and purchased a billet upper and lower.I'm getting the SBR. Believe it or not they should be at my FFL within 60 days. Hot damn

I am envious of you folks that can build a pistol, then decide to fill some paperwork out and throw a stock on it. I know those of us in this state are better off than those in other places, but it still sucks.

We Californians can only get AOWs, surprisingly. I think to be eligible for the C&R exemption, it has to be 50 years old.

I was still asked for my tax stamp at the range once when I was test firing my pistol. Couple of cops were there shooting and when I got it out of the case one came up and told me "Nice SBR, you do have the stamp for it right?" I told that that it was a pistol not a rifle and showed them the extension. He didn't believe that I could have it without a stamp and actually went out to his car to check it out on his wireless inet. I just kept shooting. Must have been satisfied cause they both just drove off without saying anything more.

Wow.

I love it when a RO comes up and hassles me for my paperwork. I just throw down a folder with 14 Forms in it and tell him if he wants to cross reference all my serial numbers to each can/sbr I brought he can knock himself out but I'll be shooting.

I don't HAVE to show anyone but a ATF agent but why complicate things more? I actually had a doofus read each and every serial with each form and when he was finished he goes "everything is good" and I reply "no shit sherlock, why would I come to a range with an illegal silencer. etc?" "and why would I mess with an illegal weapon if I already have 14 approved title2 items?" He seemed confused and walked away

[halfmoonclip]

Understand that the po-leece can be a little overzealous, especially with an unusual weapon. I keep a copy of the tax stamp in the pistol grip of my SBR, 'just in case'.
You would have to have the balls of a horsethief to show up at a public range with an illegal gun, but there's no predicting what people will do.

Just for clarification, is an AR with a short barrel and lack of only a stock considered a pistol? In other words, can it still have a standard receiver extension or must it be a pistol extension?
