I have run a search and gotten an answer from 1 other member...BUT, I want to verify (if anyone knows for sure) whether or not I have to re-register my Armalite lower (properly reg'ed AW in 2000) as a 50BMG if I ever want to put a 50 BMG upper on it?
I read the DOJ FAQ and the legislation and I still think it is ambiguous
If a .50 BMG rifle is already registered as an assault weapon, does it need to be registered under the provisions of the .50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004?
.50 BMG rifles already registered as assault weapons pursuant to the assault weapons laws in effect prior to January 1, 2005 DO NOT need to be registered again to satisfy the requirements of the .50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004.
So, if I want to put a 50BMG upper on it (ever) do I need to put a separate reg in?
Informed feedback is appreciated.
