Heya!
I've been thinking about getting a suppressor as well as a short barrel for my AR-15. I don't plan on having the suppressor pinned as I would like to be able to use it on various firearms.
I could just get the suppressor and stick it on my 16" barrel but I was thinking it would be better to get an 10.5" or 11.5" barrel and then optionally suppress it.
I'm not familiar with Class 3/NFA beyond suppressors. I wasn't sure if the tax stamp you pay for the SBR is associated with the lower [i.e. the serial], the upper [not sure how it would be, but the BATFE can be weird], or simply the barrel itself?
Basically what I'm wanting to know is if I get a short barrel and pay the tax stamp, can I swap it to a different AR-15 that I own, or would the barrel be tied to whatever I installed it onto first/the lower/etc?
Just trying to figure out the best way to go about this - I do know I could get the short barrel and have a suppressor pinned/welded but I'd prefer to be able to remove the suppressor so it can be used on other firearms.
