Small Barreled Rifle Required registration.

As most of you are aware, however some of you may not be, it seems like this could take affect in May. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-new-rule-address-stabilizing-braces-accessories-used-convert#:~:text=The rule allows for a,short-barreled rifles to ATF.

Now i am wondering if i should just buy some lowers and register them, while there is a free tax stamp period. Ridiculous regardless. Whats everyone one else's thoughts?
Shall not be infringed....... Period!

I know what you mean but any future sale is a form 4 transfer. Not a big deal if you never sell one. Same stamp fee for the buyer if there is a demand for the SBR. If everyone is doing it will there be a demand?

If everyone would just grow a damn pair and FINALLY stand up for something, there will be NOTHING they can do. Wouldn't it just be great if there were ZERO registered by the deadline?! Ahhh-the birds would be chirping and the hills would be full of song and laughter! BAHAHAHA A new lease on life per-say, one with little regards to the ATF and it's shenanigans...

I said those exact words over a good conversation and a beer with a person just yesterday.
 
There's going to be a lot of confusion going around about this. No one will stand up as they will surely make an example out of whoever is the first.

At any rate, the lawyer who did my trust was nice enough to send this email out today. All credit for this goes to Robert Merting - a great guy and a pleasure to do trust work with. He does business in South Carolina. I'm not going to quote anything. It's definitely worth your time to read it.



The US Attorney General signed ATF 2021R-08F, the final rule regarding pistols and stabilizing braces, on Friday the 13th.

Weighing in at a mere 293 pages, I have not yet had the chance for a thorough review. However, a few urgent preliminary points are worth making:
  1. The Rule becomes effective on the date published in the Code of Federal Regulations.
  2. IF you possess a pistol with a stabilizer brace as of the date of publication, you can register it without paying a tax.
  3. Transfers after the date of publication must be done through a Form 4 or other NFA appropriate form.
  4. While the ATF may enforce this rule immediately, the Agency states it will wait at least 60 days before initiating enforcement.
  5. A pistol with stabilizer brace acquired after publication cannot legally be registered without paying a tax.
  6. The ATF suggests registering the firearm through e-forms, but has stated it will honor paper registrations postmarked by the 120th day after publication.

Adjust your conduct accordingly. Do not transfer such firearms after publication of the rule. IF YOU WANT TO REGISTER THE FIREARM IN YOUR TRUST, ASSIGN IT TO THE TRUST ASAP AND BEFORE THE RULE PUBLISHES.

When will this rule publish? Check the Public Inspection Issue of the CFR: https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/current#regular-filing So far the rule is not listed for publication yet, and the next scheduled publication is January 17th. It could be anytime after that.
