- In Part 1 of this two-part episode on SBRs or "short-barreled rifles," Caleb explained what an SBR is and how it's covered by the National Firearms Act of 1934 or "NFA." Now, he's going to walk us through the process of registering an SBR with the ATF. As with any process involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, you'll have to fill out a form. If you're buying an existing, factory-built SBR, you have to submit ATF Form 4. If you're converting an existing rifle or AR-15 pistol or similar gun with a pistol brace into an SBR, fill out ATF Form 1. Shorthand: Making it yourself = Form 1. Buying an existing SBR = Form 4.
You can register your SBR to yourself as an individual OR to a trust of which you are a trustee. If you register as an individual, you are the ONLY person who can be in possession of that SBR. You can't lend it to somebody. Wherever it goes, you have to go with it. If it's registered to a trust, you can include other people among the TRUSTEES, each of whom can legally have the SBR in their possession. Setting up the trust is more expensive, but it gives you a lot more flexibility. Registering as an individual involves less paperwork and costs less because you just spend the $200 for the tax stamp and whatever it costs to have a passport photo made and your fingerprints taken.
You can fill out old-fashioned paper forms and mail them to the ATF. But the turnaround time will be much faster if you use the e-forms on the ATF's website. There's even a process for uploading a copy of your fingerprint card, so if you want to register another NFA item in the future, your fingerprints are already in the ATF database.
If you're submitting a Form 1, for "building" the SBR yourself, your (1) name or your trust's name and (2) city and state will have to be engraved on the receiver of the gun (lower receiver, if it's an AR-15). You can register your SBR under multiple calibers, rather than specifying only one. This means you can change the SBR's caliber by swapping on a different upper receiver assembly without having to re-register the gun. You do have to list specific calibers - you can't just register it as "Multi-Caliber."
When you die, your heirs can inherit your SBR. They'll have to register it with the ATF, but they DO NOT have to pay the $200 tax again. The tax is a one-time deal that applies to the life of the gun. Transferring ownership of an NFA item does require you (or your heir) to fill out and submit an ATF Form 5.

It would be great if we lived in a truly free country and could just buy what we wanted without having to deal with stupid, unconstitutional rules and agencies.
The best way to get an sbr is to get rid of the ATF and NFA.
Caleb, I kinda just prefer the constitution, you know, the “Shall Not Be Infringed” part 🧐🧐🧐
Thx Caleb. Id have several SBRs and suppressor's if there was no ATF. I don't feel like risking $200, and needing permission to move while i wait upwards of a year for approval and agree to be tyrannized.
You can attach the flamethrower you built to the cannon you built, but you can't shorten the barrel on your .22 plinking rifle by a half inch because that would just be too dangerous!
i refuse to play along and put myself on A registry..
So the short answer for 2024 after the pistol brace rule vacated is to buy a pistol, ok 🙄 sigh… this is so stupid, I just want a short barrel for bedside gun
I say do not support their system. Do not register anything. We do not need permission from the government.
The $200 is one thing (our government steals from us daily anyway) but registration always eventually leads to confiscation and engraving the receivers will decrease the value.
It is important to note that if you break any of these NFA rules it is not like a parking ticket-it's a damn felony with significant fines. For example, if I had a suppressor on my home defense weapon and my wife used it to defend herself while I wasn't home, one or both of us would get slapped with a felony unless I setup a trust and had her on it. Likely the perp that broke into the home would face lesser charges-if he survived. The $200 tax stamp is bad, but the risk of a felony for something harmless should be the biggest consideration before someone gets into NFA items.
Best tutorial I've seen on this subject. Does not assume prior knowledge. A+ and kudos!
Can’t wait to give atf my info !
I was thinking about getting an SBR but after watching this great video explaining all the BS you gotta go through and deal with, I made up my mine to stick with the pistol
Nothing like a cup of coffee while listening to Caleb’s soothing wisdom on bureaucratic form filing…
This cleared up a lot of questions I had. Thank you.
The knowledge transfer specifically indicating several different calibers for your SBR form one was right on point. Excellent nugget for people to know!
Good, clear, concise overview of a complicated topic.
Way to go, Caleb. Nicely presented!
Excellent information Caleb…E-Forms are the way to go…my latest E-Form 1 took 27 days from initial application to receiving my email from the ATF with my tax stamp…another 5 days added from dropping off my SBR lower for engraving until I picked it up.
Excellent explanation, thank you for sharing.....
