There are two cases on this issue. The first is Steele v. NFA Branch, 755 F.2d 1410 (11th Cir. 1985), where the 11th circuit federal appeals court said a person trying to transfer a gun to one who was otherwise eligible to own the gun, but could not get the certification from anyone acceptable to ATF, could sue to force the transfer without it. In the case Steele (the transferor in a Form 4 transfer) had not asked everyone acceptable to ATF, as well as not alleged, as part of his case, that the potential transferee was otherwise eligible by law to own the weapon, and the case was disposed of on those grounds. Note that the version of the regulation creating the certification requirement, reproduced in the footnotes of this case, has a different list of acceptable persons. After some were sued in connection with this case, all the federal law enforcement officials were removed from the regulation. Correspondence from ATF indicates they will not designate any federal officials as other acceptable persons either. The Steele decision was followed in the case Westfall v. Miller, 77 F.3d 868 (5th Cir. 1996), in which a transferee, not transferor, sued over non-approval of a Form 4 without the certification. Again Westfall did not ask everyone listed in the regulation. Again his case was thrown out for lack of standing. The court said they could not tell if the reason he couldn’t get the gun was an illegal requirement, the signoff, or his own failure to try and get a signoff.

The court said that a set of parts was not a short barreled rifle, unless the only way to assemble the parts was into a short barreled rifle. As this set had a legitimate, legal, use for all the parts it was OK. However they also approved of lower court cases holding that the sale by one person, at the same place, of all the parts to assemble an AR-15 Accessories, with a short barrel, was sale of a SBR, even if they weren’t assembled together at the moment of the bust, and had in fact never been assembled. See U.S. v. Drasen, 845 F.2d 731 (7th Cir. 1988). This was because the only use for the parts was a SBR. If the person in that case also had a registered M-16, then there would be a legitimate use for the SMG barrel, and there shouldn’t be a problem. And the Court agreed, of course, that a fully assembled rifle with a barrel less than 16″, or an overall length of less than 26″ was also subject to registration. Although it was not addressed in the case, the rule is that an otherwise short barreled rifle that is very easily restored to firing condition (readily restorable); e.g., one missing a firing pin, but for that pin one may substitute a nail or other common object, is also subject to the law.

Scope Mounts & Scope Rings » AR 15 Accessories
The AR-15 Accessories is an American 7.62 mm battle rifle developed by Eugene Stoner in the late 1950s at ArmaLite, then a division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation.
A few notes: before November, 1981, BATF did not consider the drop-in AR-15 Accessories sear to be a machine gun in itself, because you had to replace all the internal parts with M-16 parts, as well as install the sear, and thus it didn’t convert the AR by itself. However in ATF Ruling 81-4, BATF changed its mind about what a thing had to do in order to be a conversion part, grandfathered all AR sears made before the ruling, and decided all made after that needed to be registered. HOWEVER, the fact that the sear itself, if made before 11/81, and sold through ads in Shotgun News to this day (they sure made a lot of ‘em back then, or maybe not) is not required to be registered, DOES NOT mean you may install it in an AR-15 Accessories, or even possess it with an AR-15 Accessories rifle. Either scenario is a machine gun also, and also needs to be registered. Except of course you cannot register it anymore, and thus it is just a millstone, waiting to send you to a federal prosecution. And that exact scenario has been the basis for many prosecutions.

However, if one is a FFL holder, one is required by law to report the theft or loss to both local law enforcement and ATF. As part of PL 103-322 (Crime Bill) (9/13/1994), 18 U.S.C. sec 923(g) was amended to require, “(6) Each licensee shall report the theft or loss of a firearm from the licensee’s inventory or collection within 48 hours after the theft or loss is discovered, to the Secretary and to the appropriate local authorities.”
