Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
I just last week submitted my first form 1 for an sbr. Really easy actually with e-file.
I would get the upper and lower first, then get your fingerprint cards (I got a 25 pack and a dry ink pad thing for about $10-$15 on Amazon, and youll definitely want extras because you will screw up, at least I did), then file the form and send the cards in. The form asks for barrel length and overall length of the complete firearm, plus markings on the lower. Then just "assemble" once its approved.
Engrave after if you are, though Ive seen where people have directly asked ATF about engraving, and were told they had to engrave the "maker" info if they intend to sell it, much like 80%s are/were handled. So Im on the fence about if Ill even engrave mine, Ill look into it more when I get approval.

Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
I'm confident I have a source for the upper when the time comes. I really don't want to have a "constructive posession" situation on my hands. More potential for a hassle than it is worth.
I will have to go back and watch that one again. Didn't even catch this. I feel shame.
That is good to know. I will get on setting up the account so I'm ready to rock when the time comes.
I may end up having someone build the SBR and go with an eFile form 4. His name is pretty widely known in the NFA world, so that could potentially add value down the line.
There is a chance that I will have someone else build it and form 4 the gun over to me once it is all setup. Since my gunsmithing skills are rudimentary at best, this be my best option.

Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
A lower is pretty simple to put together if you are getting a completed upper assembly. Ive done 2 of them (and 1 upper as well) and Id never done any gunsmith work and wasnt particularly handy. All you really need for a lower is a hammer and a set of roll pin punches/starters. Doing a Form 4 after the Form 1 is gonna add another 6 months to your wait time plus another $200.

Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
I might be wrong, idk all the NFA rules, but once its officially an SBR, the FFL/SOT holder would have to transfer it to you through a form 4, so youd have to pay the tax and wait the few months.
Either way, form 1 or form 4, youll have to pay the $200, the difference is gonna come down to the wait time. Form 4 is gonna add 3+ months maybe.

Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
Correct once it’s an sbr it goes on a form 4
200 bucks on a form 1 and then 200 to transfer on a form 4. Not to mention dealer transfer fees.

Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
Yep, either way it comes into being, a tax stamp will be needed. I just don't want to build my first one as an SBR, so having an experienced gunsmith assemble it is just simpler for me. Plus, he wants to have a guineapig for his eFile Form4 system, so this will be a learning experience for all involved. I'm in no hurry to obtain the new SBR.
I believe he has the 02 license. So he can manufacture and submit a form 2 and then form 4 it over to me. Only 1 stamp will be needed as far as I know.

Re: Form 1 SBR advice for a NFA virgin (be gentle)
Are you buying a complete assembled upper? If so, there is no reason to involve a third party.
Even if you're building an upper, a few special tools are needed (which you will use again, it's addicting) and there are plenty of youtube videos to guide you if you don't have any friends that can walk you through it.In America arms are free merchandise such that anyone who has the capital may make their houses into armories and their gardens into parks of artillery. - Ira Allen, 1796
