B&T APC308 922r Question

[Nintendo-64]

Hey yall,

I'm considering buying an 18" B&T APC 308 DMR. I thought that I can just buy it and not worry about SBR laws (like I would with the 14inch version). Now someone told me that it wouldn't be legal to buy it as a pistol and just throw a stock on it (since this gun is imported as a pistol).

Is this true? I can't just throw a stock on it even though it has >16inch barrel? I've never heard of this 922r rule before. I thought this was only for people who want to import firearms, not for citizens.

Can anyone give me some advice about this? I'm thinking fuck the law to be honest.

To be clear: I don't want to SBR anything. I would just go with a different 308 instead of SBRing anything.

you can't make a pistol from a rifle without sbr'ing it.

You’re correct. Fuck the law.

you can do what you like

but putting a greater the 16" barrel and a stock in it and it good as gold.

Correct, but like 922r and most other federal regs, none of it is enforced on an individual basis. So in short follow the law, but just remember nobody cares about this stuff.

After reading more about it, I decided I’ll just go with a different 308 semi. It’s just not worth the trouble. Many great American built rifles like KAC or maybe the Scar 20s.

Thanks
