It might be ok for you and save some $ and wait time. Another option is to buy a suppressor and have it pinned for a OAL of 16” . This is the last one I helped build for someone, “ but I did not assemble the upper and lower together “ he did that once he had his stamp.

that looks awesome. i did not know you could use a suppressor to add length!

i have shot pistol AR's before and they're fine, loud, but nothing too crazy. pistol AK's are a different story but just as fun. i don't like the grey area around the braces and shouldering them. it sounds like something i wouldn't really enjoy shooting or would want to shoot.

i think i'm leaning towards the SBR. i've been trying to think of any instance where i would shoot it out of this state and can't think of many. i'll make it a pistol while waiting for the stamp, but i want to legally be able to shoulder it.

is there anything else i need to notify the BATFE about regarding an SBR? or any other major things i should know of? i'll be reading up on state laws over the next few days.

thanks for the reply!
