I am considering buying a pre-ban 1988 AR15. I understand that I am allowed to have all the "evil" features because of its pre-ban status. I am, however, still confused about the limitations regarding the barrel length and overall length of the gun. From what I know, the laws on a minimum rifle length of 26" do not apply to pre-ban guns.
My question is: do these same exemptions apply to Short Barrel Rifles (SBRs)? By going preban, Is it possible to get a barrel shorter than 16" without having to submit paperwork to the ATF?
