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.

Re: AR Pistol to SBR Conversion Question
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:

Re: AR Pistol to SBR Conversion Question
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.
