A rifle with a barrel less than 16 inches, or overall length under 26 inches, is an SBR- yes, it would be transfered to you thru a Dealer that has a Class III SOT. Yes, you go thru pretty much same paperwork as for a full auto, and same fee. Check your STATE laws before gong too far- easy way is to find a Class III dealer, go talk with them.

Re: Avatar, that is Strother Martin, is his role as "Captain" from the movie Cool Hand Luke. Note the signature line.


Re: 5.56, there is no best. It is unsafe to fire 5.56 in a .223, unsafe to fire .308 in a 7.62. It CAN be done, but not safely. Note: To the person sitting there about to say "I've done that dozens of times with no problems"- another quote- from Clint Eastwood- "You've got to ask yourself- Do I feel lucky? Well.....do ya ?"

A rifle with a barrel length of less than 16 inches and an overall length of less than 26 inches is a Short Barreled Rfiel (SBR) defined under the National Firearms Act (NFA). A Class III SOT on an ATF Type 01 or 02 FFL within your state of residence is required in order for you to acquire the firearm. The Class III SOT FFL will facilitate the transfer of said NFA Weapon to you by helping you prepare and submit an ATF Form 4; Application for a Tax Paid Transfer of an NFA Weapon.

However you may apply directly to ATF to assemble your own SBR using an ATF Form 1 without an FFL as long as SBR's are legal in your State of residence and that is the place you plan to use and store the weapon.

Correct. It would have to go through a dealer in your state, unless you were buying it from a resident of your state. Then no dealer is required by federal statute. The $200 transfer tax (thing) goes in with the submission of the Form 4 and associated paperwork. After 4-8 months, the dealer will receive the approved Form 4 back and transfer the rifle to you on a standard 4473. You must maintain the Form 4 with stamp as proof of registration, but you can make a copy to keep on you or with the rifle (I do both) and safely store the original.
