I know this has been answered because I've read the answer before lol. I cant remember though...so I'm sorry to you put you guys through this again.
If I wanted to build an sbr do I need a pre ban lower? If I used a muzzle brake, no bayo lug, and pinned stock, would it still need to be a pre ban, or would a post ban lower and a tax stamp be fine? Thanks guys. |

Yep you can do a post-ban SBR but need to comply with the AWB. (in before someone reminds us that a SBR with a barrel under 12" is also a pistol so you need a preban lower for that) ![]() DAMNT! Thats what I was thinking....I knew there was a reason I thought I remembered that a preban lower was needed to do something like a 10.5" barrel. SO in order to do a barrel 10.5" I would need a preban lower? Just so I'm sure...? |

An 11.5 with a pinned battle comp or similar would be over 12inches a 10.5 would require a longer muzzle device but would be doable. For shits and giggles you could pin a 6 inch fake can to a 7.5 legally but that would rival the aids cannon
If you want to use a Suppresor and be able to use your adjusting stock get the preban If you can live with never using a Suppresor on it ( You could pin a Suppresor mount brake but use may or may not be legal in state )and either a fixed or pinned stock get the postban The difference is $100 postban lower or a $600+ preban lower. |

BR, what configuration are you thinking? I'm thinking of doing another SBR, but on a post-ban this time. I'm looking at the "Kino" configuration from BCM. It's a 12.5" with mid-length handguards and front sight, but carbine gas. That sounds pretty cool Dan, I'll look into that. I was contemplating an mk18 mod 1 clone though, to be the little brother of my m4a1 block II clone. I actually have a battlecomp 1.5 on one of my 14.5" barrels and I'm just passed 16".... The only downfall of going postban would be the fact that I would never be able to suppress it. My plans were to only suppress an mk12 clone though, so not too big of a deal
EDIT: Just watched that video lol funny stuff there! So why do you need to have a pre ban lower if your going less than 12"? Wouldn't you only need a pistol permit? |

Anyone have an idea how long YHM muzzle brake is? I have a 10.5" 300 Blk barrel need to get to 12.000000001" thanks! Can I use a suppressor on a post ban sbr lower.? sounds like someone is making an AIDSCANNON..... ETA, according to SFLU, you can use a can on a postban rifle, as long as you use a QD brake/comp to attach the can ETA again, if your making an aidscannon, it technically falls outside of the AWB, so you could use a FH.... |

If I pin the comp / break which is 3" on it will be over 12." Do you need an sbr lower for said aids cannon If you don't put a stock on it then it's not an SBR. If you pin a muzzle device on it for more than 12" total barrel length then it's not a pistol. ––- you could permanently attach a flash hider to get over 12" too, because they are legal on postban "firearms" that are neither pistols/rifles Example: 7.5" barrel with a 5.6" flash hider permanently installed would be 12.1" and therefore not a pistol. No stock? Therefore not a rifle. Voila! Aidscannon. |
