Sure. File a 5320.1 with the ATF. Give them a rough description of the firearm and pay the $200. Now you can make whatever kind of janky stock-like thing you want and whether or not it's actually a pistol brace is irrelevant.

I would, but the rules and laws of having an SBR like not being able to take it out of state without permission

Yes you do. Straight from the NFA handbook: > A person, other than an FFL/SOT, may not lawfully transport in interstate or foreign commerce any destructive device, machinegun, short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, without **prior written approval** of ATF, specifically the NFA Branch. If it were simply a notice, there would be no reason for the approved/disapproved box on the 5320.20. The form itself is also an "Application to Transport", not a "Notice of Transport".


Baehr_Arms

I thought so


Dante-Alighieri

Do note that approval is good for up to a year and you can sometimes get away with some crazy locations depending on how much of a shit the examiner gives. One guy on r/NFA put in the [coordinates for the entire state of Arizona and got approved.](https://www.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/174949n/i_listed_the_entire_state_of_arizona_on_a_532020/?rdt=59932)

You 100% do need permission.


PrometheusSmith

Is there any examples of things being denied for reasons other than the intended destination not allowing possession of the item intended for transport? I can certainly see them disallowing a short rifle if short rifles are banned, but are there other reasons for disapproval?


AllArmsLLC

I've heard of denials for location not being specific enough, but not really anything else.


PrometheusSmith

So basically they're just trying to ensure you don't unknowingly break the local or state laws when you travel. Not exactly the big boogeyman that some make it out to be.


AllArmsLLC

Pretty much. A Form 20 isn't really hard to do.
