They have not.MachIV, that's what I thought I remembered, tho' I'd heard they lightened up on that requirement.
Thnx.

Not restricted, but you need to file form 5320.20 for each state you will travel to, and cannot take it into a state where they are prohibited.
On my first read I was Like WRONG ....... my thought was that he was implying a form for each state traveled through (he is not).... but YES MachIV is correct the Key is you travel To (aka destination ), not each state traveled through if by a privately owned wheeled vehicle. And YES avoid the 4 states that do not allow SBR's as a destination. Provided you have entered a return date you will not need a separate form to come back home.
I just felt the need to agree with MachIV on his reply
FFL/SOT's don't have to fill out the 5320.20 when traveling interstate with NFA firearms. See paragraph c. below.I always thought the part where it talks about "interstate commerce" means it only applies to FFLs??
478.28 Transportation of destructive devices and certain firearms.
a.The Director may authorize a person to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any destructive device, machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, if he finds that such transportation is reasonably necessary and is consistent with public safety and applicable State and local law. A person who desires to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any such device or weapon shall submit a written request so to do, in duplicate, to the Director. The request shall contain:
1.A complete description and identification of the device or weapon to be transported;
2.A statement whether such transportation involves a transfer of title;
3.The need for such transportation;
4.The approximate date such transportation is to take place;
5.The present location of such device or weapon and the place to which it is to be transported;
6.The mode of transportation to be used (including, if by common or contract carrier, the name and address of such carrier); and
7.Evidence that the transportation or possession of such device or weapon is not inconsistent with the laws at the place of destination.
b.No person shall transport any destructive device, machine gun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle in interstate or foreign commerce under the provisions of this section until he has received specific authorization so to do from the Director. Authorization granted under this section does not carry or import relief from any other statutory or regulatory provision relating to firearms.
c.This section shall not be construed as requiring licensees to obtain authorization to transport destructive devices, machine guns, short-barreled shotguns, and short-barreled rifles in interstate or foreign commerce: Provided, That in the case of a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer, such a licensee is qualified under the National Firearms Act (see also Part 479 of this chapter) and this part to engage in the business with respect to the device or weapon to be transported, and that in the case of a licensed collector, the device or weapon to be transported is a curio or relic.
I'd heard they lightened up on that requirement.
No derail intended. Does this apply to silencers?
