SBRs
Short Barrel Rifles are NFA regulated rifles with a barrel shorter than 16″ or smaller than 26″ overall length. SBRs are created by trimming down a larger rifle, by building a rifle with an original barrel shorter than 16 in, or by adding a shoulder stock to a handgun which is fitted with a barrel shorter than 16 in, which legally classifies it as a rifle rather than a handgun.

Methods of Applying for SBR Stamp:
Trust
As a legal entity, a trust can own assets. Using a trust to get an NFA stamp is one of the most popular methods. A trust can allow for easier inheritance of NFA items and also provides the ability to switch control between parties without owning the item.
Individual
Apply for the stamp in your name as you are the sole owner of the NFA item. You are the only one that can use the item unless you are present with others while they use the item. If you pass away with a valid will in-place, your heir can request a tax exempt transfer of the item into their possession.

How Suppressors Work
Noise is created from gasses escaping the barrel into the open air.
-Rapid change in pressure and temperature creates the gunshot blast
-Suppressors provide a series of chambers for the gas to expand, cool, and dissipate
-Noise reduction is typically 25-40 decibels
