Short barreled rifle

Short barreled rifle

A short barreled rifle (SBR) is a rifle with a barrel length of less than 16 inches (40.6 cm) and overall length of less than 26 inches (66.0 cm). Overall length is measured between the extreme ends of the gun, along a centerline which passes through the middle of the barrel. For rifles fitted with folding or telescoping stocks, measurement is made with the stock unfolded and/or fully extended. Barrel length is measured from the end of the muzzle to the front of the breechface, typically by inserting a measuring rod into the barrel. Barrel length may be partially comprised of a permanently-attached muzzle accessory (such as a compensator or flash suppressor).

In the United States, an SBR is a BATFE regulated title II weapon and is legal for American civilians to own after the $200 transfer tax is paid and the BATFE form 4 is approved.

It should be noted that the addition of a shoulder stock of any type to a handgun with a barrel of less than 16 inches constitutes an SBR, and such a modification can only be performed by a class II manufacturer or an individual who has filed and had approved a BATFE form 1 for the manufacture of an NFA regulated weapon.
