'Cause what you're doing is 100% purely illegal RIGHT NOW.
Got a call today asking about the new arm brace regulation:
"Does the new arm brace rule affect me since I've got a folding stock on my AR-15 pistol?"
Say what?
Yes, I had heard it right, the fellow has a real stock, not even an arm brace, on an AR pistol not papered as an SBR.
Short answer to his question: No, what he's done is already quite illegal as he has manufactured and is possessing an illegal SBR, and that is a lovely 10-year felony, and the new reg doesn't change that.
What he's done has been illegal since 1934, and the new reg doesn't even make what he did more illegal-er.
The fellow had no idea that what he had done was felony-grade-stupid.
In short, get that stock off it immediately and keep it off, get a Form 1 and pay the tax for it pronto, and get the tax stamp back before you even think about putting a stock anywhere near an AR with a barrel less than 16 inches in length.
Your dogs will thank you.
Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that the mere possession of both the AR pistol and the stock are considered constructive possession of a SBR and having both is a felony without putting them together.
ReplyDeleteI am not a 2nd amendment scholar, and certainly not a lawyer, but I believe that is how the BATFE's have considered possession of 2 items that could together make a NFA item.
Old NFO: Yep, that's pretty much what I said.
ReplyDeletepigpen51: Very true, thankfully the idiot has other ARs of rifle length so could at least arguably say the stock is a replacement/upgrade for one of those while he awaits the tax stamp for the disassembled pistol, assuming he does that and tries to comply with the law.
