SBR question

[Jackspack]

I was pretty happy to say the least I had one at 20 days and the other at 24

you gotta be kidding. 30 days or less?

An AR born a pistol can become a rifle and go back without jeopardy.

If he wants to wait 6 or 7 months to turn his Rifle into an SBR, go ahead.

If he buys a new Lower he can go pistol right now and rock and roll right now, till the stamp comes through while the ATF takes its time. As he has the bits, he can morph back into a pistol and cross state lines without ATF approval.

Besides that who needs just one AR? It gives you way more options.

Mine was just approved in 21 days.

So if any of you are still following, should I do a trust to put the paperwork in? Or should I just do it to myself? Pros and cons of each please.

Hands down. Trust. If you want to message me ill be glad to talk you thru it.

I do not think this is correct. Once you register a lower as an SBR it becomes an SBR, putting a brace on an SBR doesnt make it a pistol. You would need to file a Form 20 to travel over state lines. Now if you slapped a 16" upper on the SBR lower it is still an SBR lower but its in rifle configuration, at that point I dont think you need to file the 5320.20

Incorrect. The moment the SBR lower is no longer configured as an SBR it becomes a non NFA weapon. Making it a pistol is legal (so long as it started as a pistol) and legally can cross state lines without a 5320.


That said, lowers are so cheap I would rather have a dedicated pistol lower than change a stock to a brace on one of my SBRs.

So, in 2020, what are the advantages of a Trust over individual ownership?
The Rule 41P / 41F took away the biggest incentive, and the one that was most important to most people.

Personally I don't bother with the trust anymore, it was convenient until the law changed. The trust costs money to setup, adds time to stamp approval, requires pics and prints on all responsible persons on every filing, and uploading can be tricky on the finicky eforms website.

I must have missed something. I have a trust. What was the recent rule change mentioned above?

Back in the day, a Trust sidestepped the need for fingerprints and passport pics and something to do with local LEO permission/notification, I cant remember for sure. But that changed up so now everyone, Trust or not, has to submit the prints and pics.

I was told it’s faster to just efile, then later add it to my trust. It would be faster
