    This as well FTW.


    You registered it, take it where you want. The feds can suck it. Stuff it in your safe and don’t tell anybody and you won’t have issues. The only reason draconian laws work is because timid people follow them.

When I left the state 5 years ago, I had a pre-ban, and at the time didn't think I'd ever move back, so I sold it. Unfortunately, the price has since doubled.

    Another question though, if I don't "officially" de-register it, take it with me, then the law gets overturned and I want to rebuild it into an SBR again, what do I do?
    What I was trying to say before...if you're allowed to have a lower in CT, take it as a lower. No 5320.20 required, so no approval/denial possible. Just take it.

    If at some point you want to reassemble/reconfigure it into an SBR...you can file a 5320.20 at that point, include a letter saying it was transported in a non-NFA configuration, and you'd like the 5320.20 mailed to your new address instead of the old (which would normally be where it goes since you need approval before you take it with you).

    But if you're not allowed to have the lower with you for some reason (CT state law) you could leave it with a friend or relative for the time being. If it's just the lower, no NFA transfer has taken place.

    Do not de-register this lower.

    The day is coming where you might not be able to register an SBR on a Form 1.

    I just figured it out.

    I promise this is 100% legal.


    Stay where the hell you are, and figure things out...

    If you cannot, then you simply sell it off and take the loss, or you secure it somewhere out of state where only you have access to it.
    Simply removing the upper does not take the lower off of the NFA registry. You have to contact NFA branch and have the serial number removed from the registry and then it's a Title 1 firearm.

    It does not remove it from the registry, but it does make it a Title 1 firearm; thus, it becomes a Title 1 firearm that is sitting on the registry incorrectly.

    Nope and the BATFE has stated this MULTIPLE times. They suggest doing so, but have stated time and again on their FAQ's page that there is no requirement to do so. Searching the forum will yield dozens of hit of this being discussed and answered before.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s on the registry or not. If it doesn’t have a short barrel on it, it’s not an SBR and is a Title 1 firearm no matter what piece of paper is sitting in the bowels of the NFA Branch.

    What would be the point of de-registering it? Do we think that by doing so, some ATF minion will trudge on down to the basement, find the NFA paperwork and shred it...thereby erasing all traces of your ownership? Far more likely IMHO that they’ll take your request to de-register and just pop it into the same file and close the drawer back up, to be possibly retrieved at some nefarious later date.
