maybe i missed it?

Looking to buy a lower and build it as a class iii. Can I still use a full length upper on it, or is it stuck to one upper/SBR only?

 

[Twitch2120]

When you sbr it you can stick whatever on it.

It's whatever you make the upper. If you put on a 16" upper, its not NFA sbr anymore but if you put in a 16" or less, its a sbr and requires stamp.

So - lower registered as an SBR I can have an SBR 10.5" upper and a regular 16" upper...non issues swapping out as long as the lower is registered?

Current rule - as long as you are able to return the rifle to its original (NFA registered) configuration you can also use other uppers on it.

Even though you put a 16" upper on it it is still registered as an SBR and would require a form 1 to transport across state lines I believe.

Incorrect as long as you do not have your short upper along for the ride.

"Q: If I remove the short barrel from my SBR or SBS, may I move the firearm across state lines without the submission of ATF Form 5320.20, Application to Transport or to Temporarily Export Certain Firearms?
If the registrant retains control over the parts required to assemble the SBR or SBS, the firearm is still be subject to all requirements of the NFA. ATF recommends contacting law enforcement officials in the destination state to ensure compliance with state and local law."

Well I believe I was wrong then. The wording on that is weird though. The part saying "the firearm is still be subject to all requirements of the NFA"

"BINGO"

Correct....I believe the operative phrase here is "If the registrant retains control over the parts required to assemble the SBR or SBS" then NFA rules apply. You do not have "control" over the parts (short upper) if they are not with you.
