    ATF says otherwise.

    There are dozens more letters like that floating around confirming the same thing.

    I only include this as a cautionary anecdote to illustrate that sometimes “it isn’t worth it” just because it is technically legal. Others, including federal law enforcement, may disagree/be behind on current interpretations.
    This is not accurate.


    The internet can’t even agree on what’s what. Anyone you meet in real life won’t be able to either fwiw.

    I know it’s not correct, but it may be worth saving a few hours of someone’s time/explanations to law enforcement that don’t know what they are talking about.

    Just curious, but what are you hunting that would make a SBR your first choice over a full size rifle?
