B 2/75; Is that a suppressor or just a flash hider/muzzle brake? If it's a suppressor, what's its dB reduction value? If it's just a FH/MB, where did you get it? That's guaranteed to raise eyebrows at the range.

OMG!!! ROTFLMAO!!! Girl friend just said: "That's cute. Can you make me one?" Just hope she doesn't want it in pink!

The reply was that once registered as a SBR any barrel less than 16 inches was OK (and even over 16") and you could change at will without further paperwork. Of course this might have changed over the years, but a quick letter to them would eliminate any questions as well as having written proof that changes were legal.
Interesting. The reason I believe another stamp is required is that the barrel length and overall length are required on the ATF form.

That looks like a Noveske KX3 "flaming pig" flash suppressor, but I could be wrong.

No extra stamp is required...once it has been regiatered as an SBR, you can change barrels at will. Thats per the BATFE when I last spoke with the NFA branch on the phone.

Thanks from Albud3 and adrbe

CAUTION... true, but the whole truth is that while you can change barrels at will, you CAN'T GO SHORTER than the length specified on your tax-stamped docs. If I were to SBR my AR pistol, which is 6.5" (NOT INCLUDING Noveske Fire Pig flash hider that adrbe correctly ID'd) then I could be pretty safe in saying I could swap barrels at will. If you've got paper on an 11" build, not so much...
