Franklin Armory Introduces Short Barrel ‘Firearm’ With Standard AR Stock and ATF Approval

According to the NFA an SBR is any firearm with a buttstock that has a rifled barrel of less than sixteen inches, or an overall length of less than twenty six inches. The total length is measured in the extended position. However, Franklin Armory found a shocking loophole.
As part of the new Reformation line of patent pending NRS firearms, the first SKUs in the Reformation line feature a non-NFA configuration with an 11.5″ barrel and a conventional stock as shown in the press release below:
If that just sent you for a loop, and you find yourself scratching your head wondering how they got this approved, you’re not alone . . .
However, SHOT Show is only days away at this point, and we’re definitely going to pay Franklin Armory a visit while we’re out there. We’ll find out everything you need to know, and update you with more information.
It’s also worth pointing out that Franklin Armory pioneered the NFA loophole trend with their XO26 and then a few years later with binary triggers.

saw that earlier this morning. I'm very interested in how they define it.

I only have one question about this stuff but I'm not asking it because I don't feed trolls like the people who got arm braces messed up for awhile and have fed the bumfire bonfire.

This SBR stuff makes my head spin.
I thought if it had either a barrel<16" or a OAL<26" it is a SBR?
How can this not be an SBR?"It seems that the Constitution is more or less guidelines than actual rules"

Lets say that this "rifle" doesn't need SBR paperwork.
Will that mean that all of us who have barrels under 16" with arm brace installed will be legally allowed to put a regular stock on them now?"One must be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves” ~ Machiavelli

I predict poking the bear isn’t going to go so well for these loopholes very shortly

Re: Franklin Armory Introduces Short Barrel 'Firearm'
Notice the "selector" in the press release. It is a clue and it is highlighted in red. Either they made a rifle with all positions as a safety (So it can never fire) or like someone else mentioned it only shoots by trigger release.
The third option of the selector is what you use when you pull the trigger and decide not to shoot?
