Hansel&Grendel' Wrote:ATF is suggesting that it loses about $250 million per year in tax stamp revenue primarily over pistol-braced ARs for which people are not paying the $200 tax stamp under NFA. Yet, DOJ and ATF, pursuant to ATF Final Rule 2021R-08F (circulating on the Internet today) are prepared to waive the $200 tax stamp if one eforms registers a pistol-braced AR within 120 days presumably from this Monday. So, the motivation does not appear to be revenue based, butt rather registration based (which we all knew).
If they are offering a "no-cost" eform, does it not make sense for me to register all of my lowers as SBRs in case I happen to attach a short upper? That's the beauty of the AR, mutiple calibers, multiple configurations, all on a common lower. Bases covered. What do you think?
