I'm in Canada where AR's are restricted firearms.
Since it is restricted it doesn't matter if the barrel is 7.5" or 24"

I'm looking at purchasing a 14.5" Noveske upper to go with my factory Noveske lower regardless of the wait times.

Can just an upper with a 14.5" barrel or simply a 14.5" barrel be purchased without a tax stamp.

I guess the question is when is it an SBR?
Is it when you buy the barrel or when you assemble it onto a lower?

As a side note I will be legally exporting it as per ITAR regulations.
