So...I'm starting to think down the road about building an AR. I'm thinking about making it a SBR and suppressing it. Would it be better to put them together on an NFA form or keep them as separate items (and pay $200 for each).
Having the flexibility to put the can on multiple platforms is nice. That said, if the additional $200 is the make or break point, you could technically permanently attach the can to the short barrel as long as it is over 16" total I believe for a single stamp gun.
I believe that is the case. Check with an expert first.
