Amazon.com has AR accessories

<LOL> Now who is giving the bad advise?? Contacting your local BATF office is the dumbest thing you can do.. Most of the time they do not know the law and will give you bad advise.. And to make it worse, if they tell you something wrong, you cannot say you spoke to the local office as a defense..

My apologizies for not being specific. Contact them in writing - I have, and have received written guidance which I can always use in the event of any confussion. They are easy to deal with and provide you with the most recent information. We pay their salaries, so lets get our $'s worth out of them!

But claiming anyone doing so is an idiot is rather rude and rather unnecessary..

I had a hint of humor when making that statement - I should have used a smiley! But you are guilty yourself - I put it in bold above. but I didn't take offence.

It is so nice to know we have folks on this list who absolutely know every possible senario, and can make such broad announcements..

Where did this come from? Quite the contrary - I never admitted to being an expert and gave a recommendation to get professional advice. Which is the safest route to take.

Really? This came straight from the SCOTUS and the BATFE...did you even read the posts thoroughly for context?...I thought not.

You are correct, sir - that is a rather new ruling.

Your type of internet jockeying is precisely why the ATF issued the ruling in July 2011. Before you come on the forum shot gunning folks maybe you ought to read for comprehension (and take your own advice) and do your homework first..

Making a comment about wasting $200 and recommending someone to get professional clarification is not what I would consider "internet jockeying". If my comments offended you - my apologizies. Sometimes lightful humor and sarcasm don't come out in written replies. Now if the OP took my advice and contacted the field office in writing, I'm sure they would have replied with the latest ruling. Is that really bad advice?

An SBR is worth more? YGBSM...

$200 more to be exact - if its sold as a regular rifle, then chances are the $200 invested couldn't be recovered in the sale price which explains why SBR rifles sell for more $$ than reg rifles even though the new buyer still has to pay the additional $200 stamp. I'm no gun dealer, but most SBR's I see being sold are considerbly more money. A basic AR can be had nowadays for in the $500-600 range. I don't think I've seen a SBR for below $1K. I could be wrong, but that is just my observation.

I don't post to stir the pot, so if it was taken that way - well it is what it is. I still stand behind my comment on contacting the people who regulate the laws. If I have a question on a building permit for my house, I would contact the County permitting office.

Can't we all just get along?
