Okay Brace SBR question

[scottyfz6]

With the current rule going in to effect including the amnesty for pistol ar's to be gifted a stamp I have a question.

I know MD has a law that a sbr needs to be a certain length, not an issue. Well it is...

What happens if I where to get a free stamp for a SBR that meets the MD law for length. Then I where to accidentally put an upper with say a 8.3 barrel, making it too short for the MD rules?

I guess you'd have to run off whenever a cop with a ruler comes at you on the range

You should be able to use it in another state(where legal) as long as you form 20 it.

Same thing that happens if you make any kind of illegal gun. You committed a crime and no one was harmed. Well, unless or until the po-po catches you with it. Then you will certainly be harmed.

The ATF isnt going to let you register it in an illegal configuration though. Which doesn’t stop you from doing it anyway.

I have 2 pistols with under 10.5 barrels, I also have spare uppers with 10.5 or over. IIRC 10.5 is the shortest that will be long enough.

It's illegal for the ATF to unilaterally make new gun law... especially when those infringements are prohibited by the plain text of the 2a. Just keep your pistol as a pistol.

I've been over exaggerating length for so long I don't know know what the truth is anymore. As long as you have a couple males on the jury, they should acquit.

That said, do we have confirmation that AR pistols will be grandfathered yet? If so, I've got a bunch of lowers I need to buy quickly...

For my 10.5" upper, I had to replace the standard carbine buffer tube with a VLTOR 7 position A5 buffer tube to get over 29". For good measure I replaced the original buttpad on a CTR stock with a .70" Magpul enhanced buttpad.

For the "free" stamp apperently they will want pics of how it is set up, to confirm its a "pistol" that meets the standards for the "free" stamp.

So you could not just have a pile of lowers and get the "free" stamp on all of em.

I've got some uppers to throw on. Had it been confirmed though?

Well confirmed as in the atf released it...no. But the docs that are out there seem to be legit, read at the link in my other reply.

Oh sorry, was looking on my phone and missed the link. Reading it now, thank you!

My question is, what if we can't SBR because the gun won't meet 29" OAL? We have to sell the gun out of state or throw the brace away?

I’m wondering also what would happen with a 5.5” barrel pistol?

I would assume if we cant meet the state law on length, then we would have to remove the brace or somehow make it meet the length required.

You pull the brace off. It will still be a legal pistol.

... IIRC 10.5 is the shortest that will be long enough.

Not if it is a PCC and has a standard length buffer tube. You'll want a longer buffer tube(cheaper than a new 11.5" barrel).

Squaregrouper has a post how to meet the 29" rule. There are several other solutions ppl have posted before too.

Can't (easily) convert a MP5 to a SD. You have to cut the gun apart and start rewelding. A barrel swap would be easy if thats all it took. The trunnion, cocking tube, and support need to be swapped too. Its literally easier to just make a new gun.
