Question about selling SBR

[Bsj425]

Once a rifle, always a rifle.

WRONG. You can remove the stock sell as a pistol and write the ATF to notify that it has been taken out of SBR form and can be removed from the registry.

That's what I have heard and when I looked it up that's what I got out of what I found.

You must have a very uncommon name. I just did the same exercise and went 5 pages deep and still didn't find any reference to me and I've run for public office... twice. Granted, I live in Indianapolis. I suppose if your name is Pharneas Bryce Farquhar and you live in Podunk, Indiana, population 35, then yes, I can see how that might happen.

And your bolded statement above is why I don't sweat the idea of selling a gun with my name and city on it. There are myriad of other ways potential thieves can track you down and target you. So, I don't get why you are getting so paranoid about a fairly remote possibility.

yea, size of town matters a lot.
and someone following my home from my normal range would be pretty obvious... that would be one fast horse/buggy.

everyone has a different risk tolerance level. I and many others won't sign bill of sale on private sales for same reason, don't want to give someone an address where there are likely cool toys to steal. I was just throwing out something for the OP to consider.

Is there any ruling about this "once a rifle always a rifle" claim? I've always known it as "originally built as a rifle always a rifle" but a pistol could go back to being a pistol. Look at the Thompson Center ruling along with the carbine kits sold for glocks and 1911's. They are intended to be converted back and forth.
