Short barreled rifle( SBR) 300 blackout
« on: January 19, 2017, 12:35:51 PM »
I really want to put together a SBR 300 blackout suppressed. Is the paper work and pain in the butt worth it? Not even sure  where to start.

You should check out the Daniel Defence with integrated suppressor.    If you wait a while you may not even need a tax stamp since they are looking at changing the suppressor laws.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

You may not need a tax stamp for the suppressor if the law changes, but you will for the SBR.  I looked into this awhile back and was scared off by the red tape.

The Daniel's defence with integrated suppressor  doesn't qualify as a SBR from what I've read.

You can permanently attach the suppressor and at that point it counts towards overall barrel length.

This may be a stupid question....
At what point in the build process does it have to be permanently attached to not be a SBR?

Nobody seems to be able to answer that one.

I'd post my take on it, but someone would just argue about it.

it sure doesn't seem to be well defined. I'd like to say when it is put on a rifle configured lower... but then there are the sig brace items... which nobody has ever held up to their shoulder and fired.  :chuckle:
In truth I am pretty ignorant to the whole gas gun and sbr and can world...
maybe I can google it and post that?  :chuckle:

This seems to be as good an answer as any. I would image an upper just chilling is fine.

I have been researching and might go the integrated route. I wasn't aware the suppressor counted towards overall length. Can I build a pistol and shoot it till I get my paper work back and then transfer it to a rifle with a butt stock?

Suppressor counts to overall length IF it is pinned on and not removable at all, it is the same as a pinned/welded on flash hider on a 14.5" barrel, must be permanently affixed.  If the barrel is less than 16" you have to file for the SBR, with any luck long term we will not have to file for the suppressors.

The paperwork is not overly complicated.  There are new rules now with 41F in regards to fingerprints and pictures for everyone on the application (or trust which most people use)  Then it is just a matter of a LOONG wait time.  Right now they are at 7months and I think climbing?

SBR are pretty nice and fun to shoot, It is what the 300blk was built for.  SBR make nice B.O.B guns too if you are into that sort of thing.

If you build a <16" barrel upper you need to have a pistol lower in your possession until you get your stamp approval, otherwise you have constructive intent.  It is not a grey area and I suggest people avoid taking that risk.  Having just a barrel alone with no other parts to assemble it into an upper should not be an issue, but a complete upper is a no-no.

This may be a stupid question....

No stupid questions when it comes to NFA and making sure you are within the law, nobody needs that nightmare or to lose rights for not asking...
From what I have seen, you would want it permanently attached to the barrel before you install the barrel in the upper.  Unless as previously mentioned you have a pistol lower in your possession, If you have one of those around it really helps during your waiting on approval.  One option is Go buy a new lower, build the lower as a pistol, then take THAT lower and register it as your SBR lower.  Filing as a Form1 you keep the lower in your possession, so you can go ahead and mount the upper, enjoy shooting it, etc, just with the pistol buffer on it.  Once you get Stamp approved, take it in and get it engraved, then install rifle stock and you are DONE!

I have been researching and might go the integrated route. I wasn't aware the suppressor counted towards overall length. Can I build a pistol and shoot it till I get my paper work back and then transfer it to a rifle with a butt stock?
yup, see above.

Thanks for the replies. The integrated route looks to be a good option. Looks like Witt machine sells uppers and Daniel defence, and integral arms have nice looking rifles. Info is greatly appreciated.
