Every AR newbie needs to understand the NFA laws and ATF rules before they get themselves arrested and put in prison for 5 years.
You want a non registered Short Barreled Rifle, do you. Well get ready for over a year's weight for approval and the papers. Only use for a 10 and a 300 is with heavy bullets and a can, another filing for the can.
A 16" barrel is a buy and use deal, no fuss, no muss.
You buy a rifle lower and stick a 10" pistol barrel on it without registering it and you are just waiting to get yourself arrested for possession of an illegal firearm. Use it in self defense, you go to jail.
Thanks .gov plant.
