Bought a brandnew colt 6450 9mm from someone in my state, I wonder since it's not rejesterd to me as one would be buying it from a gunstore
Would this cause problems if I wanted to SBR it with the ATF ??
 
Re: New rifle SBR ?

When you do a form 1 does it matter for future use what kind of upper you put on it ?

ex: I have a 16in AR-15 and want to build a 9.5" upper for it. Can I, after the form 1 comes back then also make a 12.5" upper for it and swap uppers ?
 
Re: New rifle SBR ?

So I guess that once I send off my form 1 I should make it for the shortest barrel they make for registering and then if I change my mind I can always make and swap a longer upper on it ..

Is my thinking correct ?
 
Re: New rifle SBR ?

AR15 lower is one of the best moves for SBR for the cal. changes that can be done with the upper. DO IT.

If it is a factory SBR you may be able to sell it in state. Out of state will be next to impossible, and if you have form 1'ed the gun it will be tough to sell as people dont want your name engraved in the lower. To me it is a moot point because AR lowers are so cheap and a dime a dozen these days. If cost is a big issue get a Palmetto State Armory lower for $60. With the stamp the cost will be $260.

No. Once it's on the registry it cannot be taken off. </div></div>

The ATF can remove an item from the registry. They've done it in the past. I'm not saying that they can't/won't change their opinion on the matter in the future, but I've had items registered on a Form 2 removed and I've seen Form 1 items removed several times.
