I believe that only applies when assembled as such. Bring the disassembled lower in, thats it

It's not an SBR if it doesn't have an upper on it that has a short barrel
It's just an AR lower that will be legal to accept an upper with a short barrel on it once the stamp is in hand. You don't have to disassemble any lower to have someone engrave it. You might have to if the engraver can't clamp an assembled lower but that's a physical problem and not a legal one. |

If you're in southeast Michigan I recommend Downriver Guns. Took them 10 minutes while I waited to engrave my lower.

I called them yesterday. Their engraver doesn't work weekends. My work schedule is pretty crazy M-F, but they said I could drop it off. It's a bit away.
I found an engraver in Plymouth. He's alot closer so I'm giving him a try. Was just thinking about the whole possession of a registered NFA item by another. |

Engrave it before making/modifying it. It doesn’t become and NFA item when the form is approved...it becomes one when it meets the definition of any of the six categories.

I'm no legal expert but I think it is okay as long as you are leaving it with a FFL. |

If you cant find anyone local, these folks in NC have ridiculous fast turn around and did excellent work for me. I found them through recommendations here on Arfcom.

Quoted: Curious about getting a registered SBS/SBR engraved. I thought the registered owner was the only person able to be inpossesion of the item. How does it work getting it engraved if you are leaving it with someone else for engraving? 1) Do not make it into an SBS/SBR until after it is engraved. 2) FFL can possess any firearm for gunsmithing, engraving is gunsmithing. |

Or schedule a specific time for the engraving, take a half day off, and wait while it’s done.

I have a couple of them. My advice is to file the paperwork and then send the lower off to be engraved. You should have the engraved lower back in short order, but the paperwork is going to take a while. Do not assemble the SBR until you have approved paperwork in your hands. Some folks would suggest not even having the parts on hand (constructive possession), but I wouldn’t be overly concerned with that.

Eforms is still averaging about 4 weeks, which is relatively quick. If you are going to go with the above mentioned route, then you should make sure the engraving is correct before you send in the paperwork to the ATF. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that has a laser engraver only about 30 minutes away. The guy does amazing work and is pretty much the "go to" for NFA engraving around my area. I don't get my stuff engraved until after I get my approved form back, but I am also able to visit the engraver and approve everything before the work is done, so i'm not as worried about a bad engraving. |
