Quick Tip: Pt 1 - SBRs & the NFA

Спорт

Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant gives us an overview of the National Firearms Act of 1934, usually called just "the NFA" for short. The NFA is the Federal law that requires you to ask Uncle Sam's permission through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives ("the ATF"), if you want to own certain items. Those items include a short-barreled rifle (SBR), sound suppressor, machinegun, or short-barreled shotgun. When gun geeks refer to "an NFA item," they mean a firearm or firearm component that is regulated by the Act. If you meet the Act's requirements, you can submit an application, pay for a $200 tax stamp, and if the ATF approves you application, you can own the item in question.
You do have to live in a state whose laws allow you to own the NFA item you're applying for. For example, in Iowa, the home state of Brownells, civilian ownership of suppressors and SBRs became legal only fairly recently (2016 and 2017 respectively). Check your own state's laws to find out which NFA items you can own.
A Short-Barreled Rifle or SBR is any firearm with a shoulder stock and a rifled barrel that is LESS than 16" long. If you want to own an SBR, you have to apply to the ATF and pay $200 for the tax stamp.
So what's the difference between an SBR and an AR-15 pistol? An AR-15 (or similar) pistol has a rifled barrel less than 16" long and either has just a bare, usually short, buffer tube or a pistol brace. Caution: The ATF has announced it will introduce new rules for pistol braces in December 2022, which may affect the legality of brace ownership.
"All right, Caleb, suppose I'm willing to pay $200 for the tax stamp. How do I go about getting my SBR?" Caleb answers that very important question in our next Quick Tip episode. Relax, we're releasing it on the same day as this video!

    But no information (as per usual) of the REASON the SBR/SBS Provision was added to begin with and how that premise/reason was removed to pass it leaving the short barrel long gun provisions by windfall making absolutely no sense. Give you a hint they were trying to defacto ban all concealable weapons…… and it was so people couldn’t just make those small concealable weapons (that we carry everyday in every state today) out of long guns to get around it…. Don’t worry cause no one with a following wants to educate, they’re gona add those small concealable weapons back to the NFA “in the original intent” like they’ve recently said because everyone wants to cling to the status quo instead of educating themselves and others and roll this stuff back.

    Short Barreled Rifles were never part of the original draft legislation proposed by then Attorney General Homer Stille Cummings. It wasn’t until the incessant queries by Congressman Harold Knutson about worries of rifles being affected, did they even discuss rifles. No mention of rifles was in the original draft, but short barreled shotguns were specifically called out for restriction. Knutson claims to have been concerned about hunters back home, and wanted to make sure there were provisions to prevent hunting rifles from being regulated. AG Cummings kept assuring him there was no intent to address rifles. Knutson thought that making rifles and shotguns limited to, not 16” for shotguns as proposed by the AG, but 18” for extra credit would it be reasonable to keep the legislation from harming hunters. The final draft almost made it through without any provisions for rifles, but Knutson piped-in again to remind them of his 18” proposal for both, resulting in rifles and shotguns being restricted to 18” for the final bill. They also discussed the obvious unconstitutionality of the bill, but threw a wild attempt at getting it passed by claiming it was a tax instead of an outright ban. AG Cummings knew he was unlikely to get the NFA passed, but took a shot anyway. His main goal was to ban pistols through a $5 taxation and registration process, which was stricken from the bill after expert testimony from the NRA President at the time. The rifle barrel length restriction was inexplicably amended to 16", while leaving shotguns at 18” in the 1960s. NFA historians have been trying to discover why for many years through archival research, but I am not aware of any verifiable explanations to-date. During the 1934 hearings, any reasons for restricting suppressors were never discussed. We still don’t know why they were including in AG Cummings’ assault on the Bill of Rights. If these matters were taken before the Supreme Court, they could easily be dispensed with as 100% unconstitutional, since you can’t legally tax rights. The arbitrary restrictions on barrel lengths, types of weapons, and suppressors were never supported with factual data, and all were offensive to the Bill of Rights.

So if it is right, than it cannot be taxed like religion, and voting, which is why we need to press even harder to get these laws repealed or found to be unconstitutional.

    The main thing to note about pistol caliber velocity in longer barrels is that it can help or hurt performance. Hollow points are designed to expand at certain velocities and can get unpredictable expansion when going past that velocity. That being said, when it comes to pistol calibers the longer barrel isn’t always the answer when trying to get the best performance from a variety of loads.

    Not without a stock. There are commercially available "Mare's leg" type pistols from Henry and Rossi. They use wooden grips that are not intended to be shouldered and therefore not considered rifles.

    The problems with SBRs is they are long guns. In many states you cannot have a loaded long gun in a vehicle wreck passengers or drive have access to them - unlike an AR pistol. Further you can't cross a state line with an SBR without written permission. If you move you have to report your new address to FJB.

    I'm a Brit and can only admire this stuff on KZread in my lunch break ;) Is an SBR an "issue" requring special treatment because of potentially greater concealability? Thanks! [Later edit] After watching another video it seems that an AR pistol with a pistol brace is fine, so the issue seems not to be concealability. So back to zero in trying to understand why there is the requirement of a 200-dollar tax stamp and ATF permission for an SBR.

    fair question. unfortunately there is no answer. the descriptions and definitions within the law are arbitrary. For example, a shotgun must have an 18 inch barrel whereas a rifle must have a 16 inch barrel. Affixing a butt stock makes a pistol into a rifle, however you are free to own a pistol in an elephant hunting caliber or a rifle in a pistol caliber, so it is neither about concealability nor lethality. It is a horrid, incongruous law made up by imbeciles who were unable to prosecute gangsters in the 1930s, so they created a law specifically targeting the favored weapons of gangsters in 1934. Now they could pull a gangster over for speeding or a busted tail light and hem him up on federal weapons charges by incidentally finding common guns of the time in the car.

    And technically you are not supposed to register a single lower so you can put different uppers of different calibers on it either as the caliber is supposed to be marked on the receiver if it is not easily seen on the barrel, and you have to register the caliber when you apply for the stamp. Multi Cal is not a valid caliber. So while you could register a single lower and put a 300blk upper on that registered 5.56 lower if someone checks you on it ever then you would get in trouble.

    Still can't put a stock on it or vertical foregrip. ATF doesn't say they will give you an SBR tax stamp just that you'll be given amnesty for having the pistol brace. To have amnesty for something is to admit that you broke the law. I'd pony up the 200 and do a From1.

    The receiver extension tube is irrelevant as to any classification. Many (most) weapon systems don’t use or need them including your AR-180 style uppers, the UZI, MAC 10, MAC 11, AK-47, AK-74, HK-91, HK-93, AR-18/180, CMMG Dissent, Sig weapon systems like the MCX and MPX lines, Thompson SMG, the M3 "Grease Gun" and a litany of others. Imagine if Stoner’s original (AR-15) design used a system similar to Law Tactical’s ARIC… Buffer tubes may have gone extinct before their creation.

    Please forgive me as I am new to the AR platform. Nobody is still saying why it is being put in this category. Everybody just repeats the same thing, but what is the big deal of the short barrel? Is it for concealment reasons or is it better shooting or is it considered a modification I mean I don’t understand. Everybody just keeps repeating the same thing as far as a $200 tax stamp and the NFA but why did the NFA singled out what is considered a short barrel rifle other than just the way you hold it Again please forgive me as again I said I’m new to the AR platform and it just doesn’t compete with me. Why how many does it make it more deadly? Does it make it? I don’t understand.

    They are actually less deadly as the bullet velocity goes down with shorter barrel lengths and are less accurate. I think the origins originally came from concealability, such as hiding a sawn-off shotgun in a trench coat or something. I don't think it was so much that these shorter length barrels made them more dangerous/deadly, but that it was an earlier attempt at an "assault weapons ban," making it too expensive to own these things since they could not legally just ban them all.
