So I live in Washington state (currently) whose laws do not permit the manufacture and registration of new, non-grandfathered SBR's. But we changed suppressor law so maybe we have a chance to change the NFA rejection. Henceforth my questions deal in the theoretical for me currently but have real world application if laws were different.
I understand that transporting a NFA item to another state requires notice to the ATF of pertinent information - such as dates of travel - and ability to legally possess said NFA items in the state of destination. I live in Clarkston, WA, which is directly across a river from Lewiston, ID. If an Idaho resident were to possess a registered SBR lower and wished to transport it over to the Washington side, could the addition of a pistol buffer tube make the pistol legal to possess in Washington, and would the ATF need to be notified? I'm leaning "yes" on the first but am unsure of the second.
This is mostly out of curiosity and my ineptitude of scouring legal databases....
