Hello,
I have been considering making a short-barreled shotgun on Form 1. Can anyone advise me as to what my options are should I move temporarily (for 4 years for school) to an SBS-unfriendly area? Could I separate the barrel from the registered receiver (ATF website says I can sell or give away a registered receiver without tax stamps and registration and such if the short barrel is no longer with the firearm- it is "no longer in the purview of the NFA"), and give the receiver to, say, my dad for safekeeping, and take the short barrel with me for re-assembly when I return?
Since it "left the purview of the NFA" would I technically have to re-register it with the ATF before I could re-assemble the SBS?
Thanks!
