Question re range policy

[Slammer13]

Do standard normy range officers (for example Range USA) give a sh*t about AR barrel length? ie are they likely to call the cops on you / throw you out if you show up with a short barrel rifle?

If you that worried about the range what about other shooters on the range.

Welcome to the forum!

I've seen folks questioned about ammo (i.e. steel core), safety equipment (eyes, ears...) and/or safety violations, but I've never seen anyone questioned about barrel length, cans, etc. YMMV

I would presume that they would assume you had the stamp for the SBR.

Test it.

As long as you're legally able to possess it, who cares. If not, I wouldn't risk it by taking it there.

Some guy at the range emptying trash a couple of months ago asked if I had tax stamps for the SBR's and suppressors....... @Fishin4guns was was there.....I almost lost my shit on the clown.................

Several years ago at Shoot Point Blank in Memphis (Range USA) I had a range officer ask about the Tax stamp for a suppressor. I asked if he worked for ATF and never went to that range again. At Top Gun I was never questioned about barrel length or suppressors, only if I was using an allowed caliber.

There is no blanket answer. Just show em your form and you are GTG.

What someone can do vs what you are legally required to do are entirely different things.

An RO can legally ask you to leave for any reason at all even though you are not legally required to prove anything.

Can't you just shoot with other feds?

Asking for a friend of course.

Some places have rules about NFA items. Bayou Rifles, for example, is clear that you must show paperwork when asked. Failure to comply will be punished by revoking your membership.

Best course of action? Before you go, print out this thread and bring it to the range with you. Show them the answers to defend your position. Please report back with results.
And of course, welcome to the forum!

Have you asked the range officers?

During the last few years I was a RSO at a memphis range. The training I was given did not address NFA items. They didn't permit drawing from a holster, rapid fire or rifles larger than .556, otherwise normal safety rules were only requirement. They did have rental automatic weapons used under the direct supervision of a few of the staff.
