LE/Military ONLY Firearms

[Hitman]

For example,

Can a LEO purchase a 14.75'' barrel M4/AR15 for PERSONAL use ?

If he can, by using his LE Credentials, what happens when he is NO LONGER and Active LEO ?

Does he have to give up the gun ?

It's not me BTW.

Can't be purchased w/ LEO credentials, has to be an ATF registered SBR which anyone can do for $200. LEO status change makes no difference...

Well I can promise you he didn't pay the $200 ATF fee. He's also not the first LEO to be able to get his hands on Class III Firearms alot easier than we can.

Actually anyone with a credit card can order a short barrel and/or upper. No credentials/paperwork/stamp needed.

However if you want to actually attach that short bbl to a lower it better be registered first. Beyond that, there is nothing stopping anyone at all from buying a short barrel. My 9.25 inch upper was shipped USPS straight to my cubicle with no ID, no signature, no nothing.

only on department owned weapons, not on personal guns unless registered as an SBR

But wouldn't be advisable to store it at the same location as an unregistered AR lower. Wouldn't you agree, Teddy?

Can you get a short barrel upper and attach it to a registered pistol lower without a tax stamp?

I would think so, as long as it doesn't have a shoulder stock or FUG attached...

what he said. It would be wise to make sure you have the pistol lower before taking possession of the < 16" upper, due to "constructive intent", if you have other AR lowers.
