A few interesting takeaways:
- If you decide to submit the NFA Form 1 for a weapon now considered SBR to keep it in the current configuration you can submit for free
- You can take steps to declassify the weapon as SBR by adding a longer barrel or making the weapon incapable of attaching a stock in the future.
- When submitting the form you will need to provide SSN, Fingerprints, Photos of the weapon and Serial #
- You're also required to submit a copy of the application to your local "Chief Law Enforcement Officer" (CLEO)
- If you choose to pay the $200 for the SBR, photos of the weapon are not required
- There are a number of legal initiatives in motion to try and squash 2021R-08F
- Once approved you cannot sell the weapon without completing a Form 4, or declassifying the weapon (second bullet above).
- Expect transferring the weapon in cases of inheritance to be be difficult (and costly as the SBR will need to be registered with each transfer) to avoid these challenges it's advised to transfer the weapon to a trust.
- A trust could allow for additional privacy to separate the tracking of any single person from the weapon.
