No difference in few months they're both considered nfa itEms.
ATF is so messed up. Looks like its all about controlling people. Anyone who knows anything about SBR and AR pistols knows there is no real difference period.
Let's be honest… The only reason there is such a thing as an SBR, is because the ATF decided they wanted to make extra money on people doing what they want with their guns. That's called an infringement and is unconstitutional 🤷 therefore is an illegal law.
Do your guns come with lawyers?
A gun has a barrel and a trigger. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. The DIFFERENCE is politicians
Hey guys, I highly recommend you upvote Mad Dawg comment on here. Hopefully it gets enough likes that the channel likes it so it will stay stuck as first comment.
Wow! The "AFT" – Joe Biden, comes up with the dumbest description of firearms lol. Idk if I can wait a year for an SBR and pay a tax stamp. Just get the AR pistol.
Registering your 1 gun can end up getting all your weapons confiscated.
There is no difference. At. All. Why? Because I live in Mass. where they are both not available… (sigh…) But, I will visit my friend in SA soon(ish) and rent one/both for a few hours.
great 2 minute video explaining the difference
Hahahahaha so stupid
From the outside looking in, not much difference in an actual pistol vs SBR. Wafer thin differences.
But once you shoulder the pistol brace, it is a pistol being used as an SBR, so hows that work?
OK, a brace makes it a pistol, but a stick makes it a SBR. What makes a brace different than a stock?
I don’t understand this, you can use both of them basically the same way.
Good info fellas! De-fund the ATF!
Having a law against short barreled rifles is stupid. Putting a stock on a pistol, calling it a "wrist brace" and shoving it against your shoulder to shoot it was BEGGING for the wrath of the government.
As of December 2020 ATF says there is no difference
Shill talk
This video is a very simplistic view of a SBR vs Pistol
technically, it's a stock vs brace thing; however, in practice it's much more.
With a SBR, you have to first register it, pay $200 for tax, and wait for the application to come back, which may take a year or more.
Then the SBR is registered with the feds.. In order to cross state lines, you need to inform the feds, via paperwork, prior. When you get ready to sell it as a SBR, then you have to arrange the purchase, file, and wait approval prior to completing the exchange. In some states, SBR's or anything NFA are not allowed to be owned either. In many cases, you can't simply loan out your SBR either.
With a SBR, it's treated like a rifle for most state authorities and law enforcement; meaning the same rules apply as if you are carrying a rifle. whatever the rules are for rifles, is generally applied to a SBR as well.
With a pistol, most of this is not true; you can carry it in your vehicle like any other pistol, depending upon states involved. You can also freely cross state lines providing the weapon is legal in both states. Most AR/AK pistol owners won't ever file for SBR status as it's often just a stock plus a lot of legalities. Those that choose to go the SBR route often purchase it as a pistol, await for the forms to be approved, then "construct" the rifle by changing out the brace for a stock.
Vertical foregrips are another problem area with pistols; again, another infringement by the ATF, the NFA and many other legal infringements by the government.
The big differences are not the stock vs brace, but the legalities that are involved.
The ATF may try to redefine braced pistols or AR/AK pistols; but these are common use firearms nowadays, and that will be a huge uphill fight. the logical end would be to eliminate the SBR definition from the NFA ; almost no other nation in the world consider short barreled rifles as a special registration; it's just a rifle.. But we Americans, where our rights are not supposed to be infringed, are often infringed by the government at all levels, and have been doing so since the mid 1930's, all in a bid to solve the mafia problem (which no longer really exists like it did before ) . The same is true for silencers; only in the USA are they legislated; in many other countries, they are considered to be an item shooters should own to be considerate of others; not registered or legislated at all..
