lawsuits cost. So, if you can spare some change, sounds like a worthy cause to support, and get the short-term benefit at the same time.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, just a random layperson posting on THRI haven’t kept up to date on this ... members at the time of the injunction are covered under the injunction, but new members are not.if I or any of us become FPC members, the ban does not apply to us?
Someone started a thread asking about that and it got shut down and he was told he should ask a lawyer. There's somewhere around a quarter million people in that position though, so I'm not sure if it actually makes sense for all of them to get lawyers to answer the same question. I've seen no evidence to suggest that SBR's registered under the amnesty fall under any different category than any other registered SBR. I'm not a lawyer though so....This is a good ruling, except for the people who took advantage of the free SBR registration period... they converted a pistol to an SBR, and I don't think there is going to be a way to get it unregistered as an SBR. Its gonna create some headaches for them.
Ha ha... "ask a lawyer" isn't really much of an answer, because this is new legal ground and lawyers aren't going to know, and their opinions are just opinions. I do not know of a way to unregister an SBR, and even if you did, who really thinks the ATF is going to purge their records? I think you could probably put a rifle length upper on it, and be ok legally, but its still registered, and the rifle barrel kind of defeats the original purpose of the weapon, ie, to have a short barrel. If you converted it back to a pistol, which I am not sure you can legally do once something is legally a rifle, its still on file with the ATF. Its definitely going to be uncharted waters to sail in.Someone started a thread asking about that and it got shut down and he was told he should ask a lawyer.

That's kinda what I thought, especially since it's the same question for all of these folks, not just a few individuals.Ha ha... "ask a lawyer" isn't really much of an answer, because this is new legal ground and lawyers aren't going to know, and their opinions are just opinions.
Being my 300 aac with a 10.5" barrel WAS my truck gun, I went ahead and stuck a 16" barrel on it. Am I going to changecit back? Soon as I do some damn judge will put a "stay" on THAT ruling somehow. Getting fed up with this crap.This is a good ruling, except for the people who took advantage of the free SBR registration period... they converted a pistol to an SBR, and I don't think there is going to be a way to get it unregistered as an SBR.

What alterations would be illegal on a registered SBR? Obviously can't convert to full auto, or attach an unregistered suppressor, but other than that, I'm not aware of any alterations that would be illegal. It's where you can take it and whether it can be loaded that might come into question, not what you can do to it.Assuming you applied for your SBR designation or made your firearm compliant, I would caution against further alterations until the final ruling from USSC.
correctPlease note that I am addressing both those who pursued the SBR "approval" and those who reconfigured.
It is my understanding that SBRs may be returned to a standard configuration at any time, and then may be transferred and transported without regard to SBR restrictions. While the ATF would like to be notified of the reconfiguration, I would like to be notified of a bank error in my favor, and the odds are likely similar. This is information gathered here, so I trust that @dogtown tom or others better versed in this field will set me straight if that is inaccurate.

Yes. If you do that though, you can then cross state lines without notifying them.If you return your SBR to a standard configuration, does it stay registered with the ATF?
