Thanks odt

Whether the guy who wanted to turn his pistol into a SBR gets his $200 back is the ONLY issue.

The weapon is still, at this time, a PISTOL, right?

And the new owner doesn't want to SBR it, right? He just wants the pistol?

(If the new owner wanted to SBR it, he'd have to apply on his own and pay his own $200 tax).

So the thing to do is tell ATF to forget it, stop the processing of the forms, destroy the paperwork, archive it, or return it (whatever ATF does is fine), refund the $200. Announce to ATF that you, as the applicant, changed your mind and will keep this pistol as a pistol only, and if you sell or transfer it, it will be as a pistol.

Once that's done, and ATF says they're not going to put that weapon in the NFA registry as an SBR, you should be free to do whatever you can legally do with a pistol. Like sell it to another Georgia resident.
 
You can sell it as a pistol anytime you'd like in the process. Even after it's been engraved and a stamp recieved. You just have to notify the ATF. Not certified mail or through an attorney, just "notify". So send an email to the address listed above, stating the serial number of the lower will no longer be SBR and you are gtg.


FWIW- same thing applies to barrel lengths, caliber changes, whatever. It clearly states that any changes to an approved sbr just need notification of changes to ATF. I don't think the gubment was trying to make it easy. I think it's just the minutiae wasn't specifically addressed so it was a win for the owner not the gubment.
 
Thanks for all the answers, love this thing!!
