Finally got my Form 4 back ... SiG 553P-SBR

[kimberkid]

305 days door-to-door

The SiG 553P I bought last January, dropped the the form 4 in the mail on 1/31/13 and got my stamp today, 12/02/13.

For compliance parts I had picked up an 556-DMR lower as well as a stripped 556 lower that will take the folding stock that I'd planned on switching the FCG over to ... now I'm not so sure.

A poster on another form gave me heads up the other day that I'd only be able to use Pmags, because regular AR mags won't lock in ... I have plenty of Pmags and I really like the DMR trigger ... and to be completely honest I'm not big on rock-in mags although the SiG ones are the best if that's what your going to do, and I have a few of those too.

Anyway, here's the way she sits now ... the difference in feel between my 556P-SBR and this one is amazing, it just ooozes smooth

Sweet looking rifle!

I have no first-hand knowledge of 922R as I don't own any imported automatic riles right now. Are compliance parts only necessary when in a non-NFA configuration (like with the defunct AWB) or regardless of whether a weapon is Title I or Title II?

I've been told both ways by the ATF ... To me it makes sense that NFA wouldn't have to conform to 922r as NFA trumps "sporting weapons" but I'm not willing to be a test case.

The last agent I spoke with said it makes a difference as to what you are SBR-ing. When I re-SBR'd a LEO 552, it was originally imported as a SBR, then made into a title one weapon that had a "permanently" installed barrel extension so when I re-SBR'd it, it did not have to conform to 922r because I only removed the extension.

With the 553P (pistol) I added parts (the stock) and made it a new weapon, an SBR carbine.

In the end, I would rather use the Pmag anyway and the compliance parts come with that option ... needed or not.
