How to (Legally) Build A Short Barrel Rifle

 This Aero Precision upper receiver and barrel is going to make a really nifty short barrel rifle one day.1

As defensive weapons, rifles rock. They’re easy to shoot accurately unless you’re into torching off .577 Nitro Express cigar cartridges. With box magazine designs like the those of the AR-whatever families, capacity is great, and reloading is easy. In fact, the only real downside of a rifle as compared to a pistol is maneuverability and portability.

The Skinny on the SBR

Enter the short barrel rifle, or SBR as we’ll say from here on out because we care about saving the electrons. With its compact size, an SBR can be plenty handy for a car or home use. An SBR has most of the benefits of its larger counterpart, minus a bit of velocity, but with half the calories.

  1. I'd like to buy one of the new MP-40 replicas now coming on the market. You can get one as a "pistol" with no folding stock, or you can buy the exact replica with the folding stock as a short barreled rifle, but you have to do the ATF paperwork and pay the tax. Don't really know which way I'll go yet.
