SHORT Act - srjdsmith - 06-13-2025 So, I’m all in favor of SBR’s not being an NFA issue. And it’s too late for my ears, but suppressors might save my granddaughter’s hearing and what’s left of my son’s. I have never wanted to spend the $200 and try to set up a trust, etc. But, here’s my problem: I want my AR pistols to remain pistols. I don’t them- with or without arm braces -to become SBR’s. If they are considered a rifle, I can’t use them for pistol deer season. It’s all fine for rifles with barrels shorter than 16” to be legal and for suppressors to not need a tax stamp. But I want my AR pistols to still be considered to be pistols. RE: SHORT Act - specops56 - 06-13-2025 It's my understanding that if it was originally built as a pistol and not converted from a rifle then, legally, it's a pistol regardless of the barrel length. As long as it doesn't have a buttstock it's a pistol. I am not a lawyer nor a gay, jackbooted fed so this is not legal advice! Terry
