beltfeedm60 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 If I want to take my tranferable M16A1 and put a 11.5 inch upper on it do I have to pay for another tax stamp and SBR it. If I keep it that way and travel with it, is there anything I have to do or tell the ATF. If i dont want to keep it that way but just want to go back and forth do i have to do anything? And in the future if I sell it do I have to put it back as a 20 rifle again before I can sell it? I just want to learn the right way of doing things. Thank you, Semper Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Machinegun status trumps any lower levels... no action needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I would say keep the upper for when you want to sell it so your paperwork would match. You can fill out forms to update the configuration.. but I wouldn't bother. As Spartan mentioned, Machinegun trumps.. meaning that you can put a short barrel on it legally since the machine gun trumps over SBRs. BTW another reason why you want to keep that upper.. is so you can sell it as a M16A1. Having a 11.5" sold with it likely won't reduce the amount you can sell it for.. but it might appeal to less people who want original stuff. IMHO.

If you do make a change that is permanent like changing the color and configuration of an M60 from M60 standard to a M60 E6 what is it you would do and what forms would I want to fill out RYO?

The ATF doesnt care. Color doesn't matter, configuration doesn't either (e4/e6, etc). Barrel length/OAL could be argued that is changed but since its a QD barrel its never permanent. Basically write a letter with all the info, email to the nfa.fax. Doubt they will update the nfa database since its impossible, unless they made the mistake.
