300 Blackout Question

If you buy a factory made SBR (Short Barrel Rifle), the process would be the same as with a suppressor. As an individual or through a trust you purchase the rifle, the manufacturer ships it to your dealer using an ATF Form 3, and then you file a Form 4 with a $200 fee, and receive a tax stamp eventually.

Most actually "manufacture" their own SBR. You get an appropriate lower, engrave your information on it, and submit a Form 1 with $200 to the ATF. Once you have your tax stamp, you can legally pair your lower with an upper of less than 16" in length.

That's a great simplification of course. The ATF is about to change the rules in July for how a trust purchases NFA items, so there is a huge rush on now of people submitting for tax stamps. It took 4 months for me to get back a couple of Form 1s at the beginning of the year. The wait will be much longer by the time July comes.
