So… I’m seeing the ATF writing on the wall, and thinking that any AR pistols that I have may soon need to have their braces removed.
I like the current “pistol” designation, as it allows me to have one in a bag, in a car, in most states, on the occasions that I find it useful.
But if braces are… “problematic” come August, I’m entertaining the idea that SBRing one or more or my lowers may be useful.
My biggest concern about doing the Form 1 to SBR is the literal registration. I’d be going on record with the Feds that I own a certain gun - forever.
I’m also put off by the restrictions for intra-state carry and inter-state travel.
So- to the P-F brethren-
- What motivated you to go the SBR route, or what kept you from doing it?
- If SBR’d, how do you find the situation? Restrictions on use/travel?
- if I SBR a lower, can I easily change uppers? Calibers (5.56 to 300 BLK)?
- Does the process just involve submitting the E-form, and then getting the lower engraved once it’s approved? Or is there more that I’m not aware of?
