Frequently Asked Questions

How can I amend an approved Form 1 for an SBR to use a shorter barrel?

To amend an approved Form 1 for an SBR to reflect a shorter barrel, you should contact the ATF via email or letter. Clearly state the change in configuration, including the new barrel length and overall length. The ATF will then update their records accordingly.

Can a convicted felon with restored state rights work in a gun shop?

It depends on the nature of the prohibition. If the felony conviction resulted in federal prohibition or prohibition under both state and federal law, the restoration of rights must address both. The conviction also needs to be expunged, pardoned, or set aside to avoid federal prohibition.

Do I need an FFL to build a firearm for personal use?

No, you do not need an FFL to build a firearm for your own personal use. An FFL is required when an individual is engaged in the business of manufacturing, dealing, or importing firearms, not for hobbyist construction.

What defines a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) under federal law?

A Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) is defined as a rifle with a barrel less than 16 inches long. Additionally, any weapon made from a rifle that has been modified to have an overall length of less than 26 inches is also considered an SBR. These two criteria are independent.
