Measuring sbr length

[2apatriot2a]

Looking for advise on the 29 oal for an sbr trying to see if I build a 8.5inch 300 blkout would be legal or not I know a 10.5 inch 556 is close to being a illegal sbr 29½ oil I could have this all wrong

I built an SBR with a 10.3 inch barrel. It came in just a tad over 29 inches

8.5 won’t be legal. Caliber doesn’t matter. Barrel length does

Okay so it has to be over 29 oal correct??

 

[swinokur]

Yes

 

[2apatriot2a]

So next question would be could I make it a pistol or would it still be a sbr if it's shorter then 29oal

 

[2apatriot2a]

Yes

Thanks for the reply

If it started as a rifle you cannot make into a pistol. If it starts as a pistol you can make it into a riflen per BATF

Get yourself a Just Right Carbine extended buffer tube and a stock with a longer length of pull. I have a MD legal AR SBR with an 8.5" .300AAC barrel.

It's a pistol lower

You will hear many people say you can't be MD legal with an 8.5" barrel, but you can.

Well there you go. I stand corrected yet again lol

Make sure to take a picture in case you need to show anyone of you measuring it. You have to make sure to trim it real close or shave before you measure. It makes it easier and it looks bigger too.

In case the ATF or MSP ever ask for you to prove its as big as you are claiming.

We are still talking about how long your SBR is, right?

Show it some gun porn before you take the measurement.

Can you put a folding stock on a SBR and how does that figure in with the 29" OAL?

 

[swinokur]

If you put folding stock on an SBR and it has a flash suppressor too that makes it a copycat and illegal in MD no matter the length

Even with a folding stock 29 inch minimum still applies

 

[oldsarge]

Thanks, I forgot about the flash suppressor part.

What kind of folding stock? What kind of gun?

If it's a Law folder, I can't imagine it could be subject to denial. You can't operate the gun with it folded.

If started as rifle , you could make into AOW , but would require Form 1 and tax stamp .

. Caliber doesn’t matter.

Centerville caliber doesn't make difference . Rimfire doesn't require 29 in OAL .
