I was advised by my IOI to keep a separate bound book for NFA items. What is the correct way for logging post samples that I manufacture, though? For example, if I convert a H&R M16A1 lower, do I log that in on one line as an acquired receiver manufactured by H&R, dispose it to my FFL (or SOT?), and then log it back in as an acquired machinegun manufactured by my FFL? What about if I build something from a parts kit, like a Sten with a blank tube or a rewelded Thompson receiver? Having a real hard time finding how to log this stuff correctly.

I keep all in one book; Title 1, mfg, NFA.    I was recently inspected.   No errors or violations.   No mention of any problem at all with NFA & Title 1 all in same BB.   I believe ATF now prefers one book.   If your IOI told you this recently, perhaps they were mistaken.

Use 1 book for everything, or just use fastbound.

Guns built from a previous firearm, that firearm gets logged out and the new firearm logged in as you posted.

Guns built parts kits or other non-firearms are a single entry.

To answer your specific questions:
Example 1 = lower is logged in to your BB, you log it out to Blanco_Diablo Manufacturing, then log it back in from Blanco_Diablo Manufacturing when you're done working on it.
Example 2 = once you've built the parts and have a serial number, just log it in as from Blanco_Diablo Manufacturing.
This is how I do it, no complaints at all from any of 4 IOIs doing recent inspection.

For conversions, yes log the semi gun into your normal book and then dispose to your NFA book. In that book I would write the word "manufactured" on the aquisition side and the type as "machine gun." My inspector never had a problem with this.

If you make it from scratch or a parts kit and assign your own serial number, basically do the same thing but skip the first part.

In the beginning I had three different books. Manufacturing, NFA and every day. Then I got smart and got on fast bound. Everything‘s in one place. Zero regrets super easy

+1 for fastbound. No worries about BB compliance. NFA stuff is easy, it walks you through it.
