Quick Tip: Pt 1 - SBRs & the NFA

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.
