    Based on what the NFA Agent told me just now (see post above) - you will need to file a 5320.

    5320.20 approvals are quick, my last one was door to door in 6 days using postal mail both ways. No reason not to do it, and plenty reasons why you should do it.

    Ditto. My last one was about the same time. It's quick and painless and is good for 12 calendar months.

    Supressors don't need a 5320.20 as they aren't firearms, but they do need to be legal where you're taking them or passing through.

    Actually, federal law guarantees the right of a legal firearm owner to pass through any other state, preempting local/state laws on ownership/possession in the states you're passing through, while transporting any legally possessed firearm (including supressors, SBRs, FA, etc) from one jurisdiction where they are legal for that person to own to another where they are legal for that person to own. The firearm must be unloaded and secured in a locked case in the trunk of the vehicle or out of immediate reach if the vehicle doesn't have a trunk.

    I was informed when I asked the ATF about it, that a single night stop at a hotel (could be multiple nights in different cities along a route depending on the distance driven, you get the idea) while driving is considered passing through but staying for a couple of days at a friend's or relative's house and then continuing on to a final destination is not passing through and would require it's own 5320.20 or wouldn't be permitted if possession wasn't legal in that city/state.

    You're correct legally, but I wouldn't want to be the test case dummy if passing through CA or D.C. and stopped and detained by local LE .........

    Thank you everyone for all the info and replys. I have one more question what is the deal with just crossing the state line with just a sbr upper and no lower? Then placing said upper on a lower registered in the new state. Thanks!
