Franklin Armory Introduces Short Barrel 'Firearm'

[Ricochet]

Just seems like arbitrary loopholes...Which is cool except that it leads to confusion about what is legal and what isn't.

Yeah, with all these ridiculous legal grey areas, Im surprised that a lot of people haven't been wrongfully arrested yet.
Id really like the whole SBR thing to go away though.
What do they care of you put a stock on a pistol?
You'd think law enforcement would like people making pistols more difficult to conceal.

And as much as I would like to see the whole suppressor issue be a non NFA item, I think it would be easier to argue and overturn the Short Barrel rifle laws first.

No.

Ok.

Does this mean that those of us with "rifles" with shoulder stocks + barrels 16" and longer + OAL over 26" can now change the barrels to <16" units so long as we keep the OAL over 26"?

My SBR as configured with collapsible Magpul CTR stock(extended for measurement) and 12.5" barrel is ~30.25 inches. I approximated because I'm not about to break the muzzle device off.

I had that "A HA" moment when I heard about the "not a shotgun" shockwave and black aces thingy.....but I'm not getting this one

Good question.

Also, if its only the Binary trigger making this a NON-NFA gun, what if you added a binary trigger to an AR pistol?
Would you then be allowed to add a regular stock like this Franklin Armory AR?

I suspect this is a 410 shotgun.

Thats possible, but wouldn't is then be considered a "Short Barrel Shotgun" or a AOW?
An AOW still requires the super slow NFA paperwork and $5 tax stamp.

It may have a rifled barrel.

The real question is can you buy one used person to person in PA?

If it has a rifled barrel under 16" or a smoothbore under 18" - it is a firearm in PA. ...It will fall under the same situation as Mossberg's Shockwave.

So that means you will need to do a recorded transfer.

No.

An SBR is created if you drop the overall length under 26", OR you install a barrel under 16".

It's like vampires that can be killed with silver bullets OR holy water; just because he locks up all the silver doesn't mean that he can now bathe in holy water.
