I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Sorry if this sounds silly but a two part question here, would this be considered an SBR? Second question when you carry this in your car and what not in two pieces is it still considered a firearm or because it is broken down no problems with the law. I live in NYS :(
Very nice high-quality build with top-shelf components, and a beautiful finish to boot.
