BBL length is set by Federal Law, not Federal Regulation.
Anything that comes from a “Gunsmith/FFL” is affectionately known as “Gunstore BS”.
ETA:
18/44/921:
(8) The term “short-barreled rifle” means a rifle having one or more barrels less than sixteen inches in length and any weapon made from a rifle (whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise) if such weapon, as modified, has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches.
A simple “no” is useless information. Only by explaining difference between law and regulation and citing law can you be given anything useful.
If you already knew it was law why in the world would you ask if BATFE could change it? Do you not know how laws are made?
Not sure why you think I was beating you up, unless YOU are the Gunsmith/FFL in question. And then, I did not know that at the time. Keep in mind, you used the “BS” term on the Gunsmith/FFL before me.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. If you figured the uproar it would cause on the Hill if someone were proposing to AMEND (that’s for you renegade lol) the current in IN FAVOR of a change that would reduce the overall barrel length and not only rob the federal government of NFA fees, well like I said, I gotta call BS but I gotta ask.
Now, I could see it quietly going the other way.
Plus, any change to a law that’s been in effect for as many years (Here’s your chance to shine Renegade! Tell us how long) in a manner that favors the firearms community is unlikely.
