SBR or 14.5/perm hider?

[KR24]

Purchased a Contolled Chaos (Seekins) lower/upper set. Now trying to decide what route to take. Noveske NSR 11" with a 11.5 inch barrel or NSR 13.5" with the 14.5" barrel/perm hider?

I don't mind the wait for for the tax stamp, but do any other restrictions go with having an SBR once you have it registered?

For example, going across state lines from KY to Indiana. Or anything different with car transport with a conceal carry license, which I have.

If there is a lot of other red tape even after you get your stamp I probably won't mess with it.

If I'm perm attaching a flashhider to a Daniel Defense lightweight barrel 14.5", what are my best options?

Last, can anyone recommend a good smith for the build close to Louisville, KY?

Thanks in advance!

§ 478.28 Transportation of destructive devices and certain firearms.

(a) The Director may authorize a person to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any destructive device, machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, if he finds that such transportation is reasonably necessary and is consistent with public safety and applicable State and local law. A person who desires to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any such device or weapon shall submit a written request so to do, in duplicate, to the Director. The request shall contain:
(1) A complete description and identification of the device or weapon to be transported;
(2) A statement whether such transportation involves a transfer of title;
(3) The need for such transportation;
(4) The approximate date such transportation is to take place;
(5) The present location of such device or weapon and the place to which it is to be transported;
(6) The mode of transportation to be used (including, if by common or contract carrier, the name and address of such carrier); and
(7) Evidence that the transportation or possession of such device or weapon is not inconsistent with the laws at the place of destination.
(b) No person shall transport any destructive device, machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle in interstate or foreign commerce under the provisions of this section until he has received specific authorization so to do from the Director. Authorization granted under this section does not carry or import relief from any other statutory or regulatory provision relating to firearms.
(c) This section shall not be construed as requiring licensees to obtain authorization to transport destructive devices, machine guns, short-barreled shotguns, and short-barreled rifles in interstate or foreign commerce: Provided, That in the case of a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer, such a licensee is qualified under the National Firearms Act (see also Part 479 of this chapter) and this part to engage in the business with respect to the device or weapon to be transported, and that in the case of a licensed collector, the device or weapon to be transported is a curio or relic.

Wow thanks. I think you just made my decision easy. Even a simple trip to the farm or range would require a permission slip.

What about my last questions? Anyone help?

why don't you build it yourself?

If you transfer a registered SBR in Titke 1 configuration there's no reporting requirement.

So form 1 and it's basically just a rifle to you after you get your stamp?

Would need a smith to perm attach a flashhider if I went that route.

Just get a pinned14.5 and skip the hassle. It's just not that much longer than a true sbr, and way simpler to own. Ive had both - sold the shorty upper.

Short barreled rifles aren't worth it your giving up to much to get one. If you want a shorter rifle just get a bullpup.

Just noticed that I can't install an NSR unless I pin the flash hider afterwards. Leaning Samson Evo now.

pin a 14.5" and no worries, 5 inches of barrel aren't that worth it to me anyway and $200 tax stamp is a lot of ammo.

I am going to go against the grain and say "go for it." I have a couple SBR's and they are just plain cool, and I enjoy having something that most people don't have.
