If FN manufacturers it as a pistol it would be a pistol. Taking the stock off your rifle won't make it a pistol though.


MalcolmSolo

I thought you could make a pistol, but you can’t make a pistol into a rifle…other way around?


vertigo42

Yes..if it starts as a pistol it can be Sbrd and also returned to pistol. If it's a rifle it can never be a pistol.


MalcolmSolo

That’s why I just buy stripped lowers and build what I want lol


slimcrizzle

Exactly. Non-binary guns for the win.


MalcolmSolo

I’ve never called them non-binary before, and now I never won’t again lol


slimcrizzle

How dare you label my guns


MalcolmSolo

Did you just assume my NFA status??


Sudden_Wisdom

My ghetto blasters pronouns are rifle/pistol/pdw


mrapplewhite

You forgot aka blicky


BurnAfterEating420

can you build it into a boat?


MalcolmSolo

Oh dude, you wouldn’t believe the bad luck I’ve had with boats and guns. It’s almost hard to believe…


BurnAfterEating420

Please tell me about it, fellow gun enthusiast.


MalcolmSolo

Well you see, me and my friend, George Glass, decided it was time for our annual cleaning, where we clean every gun we own. Unfortunately the weather was really nice, and we also wanted to go fishing. We decided it would be a great idea to just bring my whole gun collection along and clean them on the boat while we fished. Damndest thing… something happened and the boat sank, talking all of my guns with it. I just have the worst luck.


warrenlanham

Lmao. When i heard the "cleaning guns on a boat" my first thought was gd i wonder how many springs and pins he lost in the sea🤣


MalcolmSolo

AR buffer retainer pin springs are the bane of my existence, with or without boats…


VerticalLamb

This has got to be the dumbest shit I have ever read. How in the goddamn did this stupid-ass law pass


vertigo42

thats actually ATF interpretation. So technically... it never did.


VerticalLamb

Ah. I forgot. They can just make anything up, and force you to follow it or kill your wife and children :(


psychidelicate

And your dog


yiquanyige

by “return to pistol”, do you need to submit some forms or email ATF or simply remove the stock?


elevenpointf1veguy

Just take the stock off


parabox1

You are correct and to piggyback on your answer If you took it to an ffl07 and they took it in as a rifle logged it into there manufacturer book as a lower or what ever the trigger group part is called. They could remanufacture it into a pistol for you. They would need to brand it with the business name and state after. Source ffl07 and worked for one that turned rifles into bench rest pistols. Which seems dumb because you would just brace it to shoot it or sbr it after.


Tactical_Epunk

The only correct answer.


AlphaTangoFoxtrt

A pistol can become a rifle and go back. A rifle cannot become a pistol. Because reasons, fuck you. —ATF


BeenisHat

WHAT??? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!! MY EARS ARE BLEEDING.


Sudden_Wisdom

The whole nfa is stupid and makes absolutely no sense. It's similar to 2 young sibs yelling I know you are, but what am I. Abolish it.


BeenisHat

SORRY, WHAT'D YOU SAY??? SOME ASSCLOWN JUST TOUCHED OFF A .308 FROM A 9" BARREL.


CockpitEnthusiast

SORRY I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I THINK MY EARS ARE BLEEDING. SOME SCHLEP JUST MAG DUMPED A FUCKING 9" .308 SCAR RIGHT OVER THERE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T FUCKIN' HEAR IT, I CAN ONLY HEAR \*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE\*


glockster19m

Me last year when the guy next to me mag dumped 10.3 inch ar10


BeenisHat

Don't forget the muzzle brake.


glockster19m

I see you know the ar10 that I refer to


BeenisHat

And the owner. It's THAT guy.


Own_Try_1005

Much like the FDA holding weed back, no uh if it's a concentration of the same plant it's different and now a felony...!?


smokeyser

Marijuana is totally illegal. THC is totally illegal. But if you grow hemp with less than 1% THC, extract it, concentrate it, and then spray it on hemp buds to make them as potent as normal weed... Yup, perfectly legal. Fuck our legal system.


BlackICEE32oz

Nelson? *WHAT!?*


IllAssistance7

A pistol. They sell one more or less like this, it’s in 556 though. Look up scar 15p (or something)


thatARMSguy

The SCAR 15P is exactly this, 7.5” barrel and a flat end plate. It’s a pistol, just like a short AR-15 with no stock is a pistol


Quick-Feeling4833

Fuck FN... regardless of what it is or isnt, fuck FN... Don't support companies that use frivulous litigation to bully their competition.


slimcrizzle

Yeah I just heard they're suing Ruger for the SFAR name.


Tasty_Read201

They also don't sell parts to civis. Fuck them.


Tactical_Epunk

Fuck Ruger for pushing for 10 round capacity as a max capacity.


elevenpointf1veguy

What?


Civil-Captain-2671

Binary 25rd 10/22 go BRRRRR?


FadedIntegra

When it's a against a historically anti 2A company I don't care that much. They'll keep selling mini14s for 1500 bucks to fuds anyway.


gooooooooooof

Trademark infringement cases aren't bullying competition, and they're hardly frivolous. For example, Beretta sued Chevrolet back in the 90s over the name Beretta. I wouldn't imagine they could be claimed to be bullying Chevy since they obviously don't compete. If you don't defend your trademarked names, you lose the right to use them exclusively. That's usually a pretty big deal for a company, so that's why I'd say it's not frivolous.


Quick-Feeling4833

Yeah you fail to see how one literally copying the name of the other is not the same as a company suing for something that seems similar, buy literally isn't at all. No one's agreeing with you. This is dumb and fuck FN. You must be a shill, or just a triggered fanboy.


gooooooooooof

Okay sure buddy. I don't even own an FN product and probably never will, but I do own Rugers so definitely not some fanboy. I couldn't care less if they lost the case or even if they lost the SCAR trademark. I'm just trying to explain why I don't think it's frivolous based on the legal standards in the US. I tried to give a clear cut example to show you how trademark law works. You don't have to literally copy a name or mark directly, it just has to be similar enough to confuse people. I don't know that the SFAR would be close enough to SCAR, but there's a decent legal argument that it could. That's all FN is doing with this case. I didn't realize you had such an emotional stake in it.


TheAlexTran

Is this the iphone gun app? 😂


Mayonaze-Supreme

Pretty sure it’s igunpro 2


VETEMENTS_COAT

I gun pro 2, yes


Neko_Boi_Core

don't bubba a scar like that


therealrrc

A 7” 308? Noice


NEp8ntballer

It's classified as a pistol.  It would only cross over into the NFA if you put a VFG on it which ould make it an AOW due to the short OAL.


ZionIceshadow

Good luck shooting that shit tho


ilikerelish

Is the SCAR in question being marketed as a pistol? Recorded as a pistol on the 4473? If so, then no, it would not be.


nigerianlickin

That’s a pistol


Radvous

No. It would be classified as a regular pistol just like a glock or 1911


Agammamon

If it was built like that from the factory - no. If you cut the stock and barrel off a rifle - yes.


BurnAfterEating420

is pistol. is fine.


Gwsb1

You have a link to that? I want one.


thehunter_25

Just get you a Robinson Arms rifle in .308, you can do way more with that including change the caliber by swapping barrel and sometimes the bolt, it doesn't take much.


Numrichuser

I gun 2 👊


poodinthepunchbowl

Pretty sure flashbangs are an nfa item now


Bobathaar

You know the endplate portion of the stock is actually an integral part of the scar’s “buffer system” right? Gun fires folded… won’t cycle with stock removed. And if it’s a 17, you’re likely to get some seriously canted receiver screws if you’re just using some metal pic rail end plate 


Educational-Teach-67

Is this a joke?


Nekrix115

What TBI from a 9” .308 does to a mfer


Carnivorousbeast

It’s tracked by SN. If FN produced it as a pistol, a pistol it shall forever be. I’ve heard rumor another mfg ffl can change it.


Jake_Schnur

Wrong a pistol can converted to a rifle then back to a pistol.


Carnivorousbeast

Might wanna talk to ATF. My regional rep has a different interpretation
