AR Pistol to SBR Conversion Question
I want to convert my AR pistol (factory purchased complete pistol lower + factory complete 10.5 upper) to an SBR.
Other than filling out the Form 1 and paying the $200 tax, I have no idea what the process entails.
Any information and/or guidance is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Replace the pistol buffer tube, if so equipped, with a carbine or rifle tube and then the stock. As mentioned above, don't for get to mark the gun per regs. Marking can be on receiver or barrel.

Thank you Bob D! Any suggestion for engraving in DelCo? Is that done by a smith?

Check with some of the local jewelry shops, that's who I have do my form 1's. I'm actually waiting on him to finish up a couple silencer engravings right now, I gave him my sheet with the correct settings. Can post those later to relay if you want - He's using a diamond bit but I have all the settings he used written down.
Edit: Forgot I took a pic of the settings he used in case I lost the paper:

For an AR, you need to engrave the lower receiver. That's the SBR/NFA item. Barrel is on the upper, and removable from the upper receiver as well.
I've heard arguments for and against these, and it probably doesn't matter, but:
I've always file with the shortest barrel I think I'd ever use.
Keep an upper with the barrel length you filed.
If you ever venture near Pottstown, PA, Laswerworx does very nice NFA laser engraving. $50 last I new.
