Suppressors Suppressed SBR length question

[R6Hybridd]

Simple question that I can not find he answer to. If I build an AR-15 that will always be suppressed and the barrel with suppressor attached measures at least 16.5 inches, does the lower reciever need to be registered as an SBR?

I am looking at building a subsonic 300blk just in case you all were interested

If you never wanted to remove the suppressor a can could be permanently attached to the barrel. But you are going to be severely limited when it comes to cleaning the barrel and servicing the rifle.

The can would need to be permanently attached (pinned/welded, etc).

Does not have to be NFA sbr if the can is permanently attached and meets the 16" min oal. I have 2 setup this way and I would do it again in a heartbeat. No downfalls as far as I can find.

Ok, it'll be registered sbr. I want to be able to remove the suppressor for barrel cleaning.

2 stamps but I'd probably do the same for the same reason

It will be a pricy gun in the end but so worth it. I think the hard part will be the barrel. I want a stainless 5r match barrel. I have looked but not found.

Re: Suppressed SBR length question

Adco has made some barrels that have an aluminium tube permanently attached to get the length to 16"+ and your suppressor fits inside the tube and screws onto barrel threads. So adding your suppressor only makes the OAL of the barrel about 18"

Re: Suppressed SBR length question

I went and got two tax stamps. Reason being I can take the can off and put it on my S&W MP22. Also, have a XCR pistol (7.5 bbl) on order and will be able to put the can on the one too.
