This is a curiosity that I have. If you have a 10.5" SBR that you pin or weld a suppressor on, is it still an SBR?
To me it would be like pinning/welding a flash hider on a 14.5" barrel and be legal.
Does anyone know if there is a letter out there or anything?
Obviously you need a stamp for the suppressor.

If the lower was registered as a pistol it has to remain a pistol. If you make the 10.5 barrel legal by welding a suppressor to it, what happens if you have problems later on with the suppressor? Incorrect. A pistol can be made into a rifle and returned to pistol configuration.

Obviously you need a stamp for the suppressor. If the barrel is 16" or over and the overall length is greater than 26" than it is no longer an SBR. The length of a barrel is measured like this: close the bolt, insert a rod down the barrel, mark the rod at the greatest length of a permanent attachment, remove rod, measure rod. That is the procedure the ATF uses.
