Deregistering SBR Lower

General Firearms NFA
1

Getting rid of all my firearms and unsure what to do with my SBRs.

I understand if a rifle is a registered an SBR and you put a barrel >16” on it that it is no longer an SBR.

However, I don’t want to sell a lower with an NFA Stamp assigned to it regardless if it’s legal to or not. I guess I could just destroy it and notify the ATF? The local PD said they would provide paperwork with the serial numbers to verify they were taken and destroyed. It’s only a few hundo per lower so I’m not concerned, and I’m doing the same thing with my suppressors anyway. Thoughts?

This is a huge move. Hope everything is okay with you.

I was under the impression you could actually have them removed from the registry if you notify the NFA branch the they are no longer SBRs. I also remember seeing something where if you register an SBR on a Form 1, but never build it into an SBR and decided to never build it, you can contact the NFA branch and have it removed from the registry and get your $200 back. I could be wrong, however.

I should have some numbers for the NFA branch people, beyond the switchboard, at work. PM me if you want them.

Also, I hope all is well, and nothing bad is causing this decision.

Send a letter to tge are stating you are permanently returning the SBRs to their non NFA confirmations and request thst they be removed from the registry

As far as I can tell you get no confirmation from them they have done this if you notify them, and without such I’d rather have the peace of mind knowing they won’t ever end up being turned into SBRs again or dealing with that kind of BS.

Is that not correct?

Correct.

I’m just gonna take the lowers to the PD with the cans. I’ll let you all know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

Any firearm can be turned into an SBR.

Legally by reregistering or illegally

Your confirmation that it has been removed from the registry is

  1. The letter you sent
  2. Calling the NFA branch and confirming it was removed from the registry

Are you destroying your firearms ?

So you are just throwing away SBR’s and Suppressors??

Sorry got to ask, why??

Why not sell them.

Hell ,ship them here I’ll pay the transfer fees, if you are just throwing away.

Unfortunately the NFA branch doesn’t move quickly enough. I need them gone in 2-3 weeks.

I am making real progress toward a permanent move to a foreign country.

Why not sell the cans to a local dealer and let the paperwork run its course while you are moving. The mail does work in foreign countries and the Form 3’s/4’s can follow you to your new address.

13

You can store them at a friend or relatives place until you can sell them or if you plan to come back at some time.

They just need to be locked in a safe that only you have access to the combination of.

That sounds pretty impractical?

15

Just a little known option without the NFA paperwork time constraint.

Also good info for someone PCSing or taking a job in a State they can’t take NFA to.

16

What state are you in?

17

I didn’t see it mentioned, but do you own these as an individual or using a trust?

18

By permanent are you saying full on renounce? Pretty sure the taxes for people who don’t renounce have shot up drastically.

I’m in the “Give them to a dealer on consignment camp”. Don’t destroy them, broseph.
