    This is a text of the law in section 1 of RCW 9.41.190 it states a person may not manufacture, possess, blah, blah, blah an SBR, MG, etc... Below is the text now added to the RCW. So it would appear on it's face, that the law was poorly crafted and an individual may not manufacture an SBR.

    (2) It is not unlawful for a person to possess, transport, acquire, or transfer a short-barreled rifle that is legally registered and possessed, transported, acquired, or transferred in accordance with federal law.

    According to a local SOT, when asked an ATF official said Form 1's were fine in WA, despite the crappy wording when the law was written. I'll find out in 8-10 months I guess...

    Will be interesting to see that's for sure. As I read it, it doesn't sound like you can.

    It is legal, by federal law, to acquire an SBR by assembling one from parts

    We also know what the definition of the word "is" is as well. Yet, that was disputed. What needs to happen is for the Washington State AG to give an interpretation of the statute.

    So if you gave the overall length with a 14.5 inch barrel when you filled the form out, you could later put an 11.5 barrel on that lower?
