Go to arfcom. In the M16 forum on the AR board there is a long discussion and or FAQ on the SBR process.

1) Apparently you can no longer use the <16" and <26" measurements. You have to be specific.

2) You do not have to mark your SBR lower when registered. Contrary to popular opion, the BATFE has issued a letter saying that markings are not required.

It's a trick, don't believe it! :P

I would get a letter in writing specifically addressing YOUR gun before I'd ever consider not marking it. As for the measurement issue, you can specify the caliber and lengths on the original form and then do an "addendum" to include the caliber and lengths for any other barrels you have. My UZI is originally registered as an SBR with a 9mm 10" barrel. My addendum includes 8", 9", and 10" barrels in 9mm., 9x21, 40S&W., 10mm., 45ACP., and 41AE. It also has an addendum for my bolt that specifies a few calibers. But get ANYTHING in writing before ignoring the written rule/law. Karl.

Ken Houchens retracted that letter. You do have to mark anything you do a F1 on.

In the future, if you want to AOW, SBR or SBS a gun, consider mailing it off to a reputable Class 2 Mfr and have them do it and mark it. They don't have to wait for a F1 approval. They do it ASAP and send a F2 in to the ATF after the fact. Then they can directly transfer it back on a F4 to you since it was your gun to start with. This is a little known "loophole" in the laws that allows you to bypass a in-state transfer dealer. And it makes the gun easier to sell with the C2 Mfr's name engraved on it (as opposed to yours).
