Is it required to submit a pic of the lower that’s being registered?

Dang, I sure hope not.

No, there's an entry for it in the process but it is not a requirement.

No, unless you get rejected and they ask for one.

I find it helps with approvals vs otherwise. I only do a Pic of the lower.

The only time I’ve found a picture actually helps if it’s for something that isn’t already in the database and has to go to pending research.  Then it will help clearing the research time before it goes to submitted/in process.  Otherwise, it doesn’t make it go any faster.  But it can screw you if what you submit doesn’t match exactly what’s on the picture you send.

Think of the low IQ people you are dealing with-

attach a picture of the lower with all markings. I have done this with the last several F1 SBR’s.

This^^^

I attach pics of the serial number and manufacturer's markings. I figure it can't hurt...haven't had a denial yet on the few dozen I've filed.

I have done for the last 80 or so SBR Form 1's I have done, and they have all been approved.

I recently submitted a pic of my lower marked 'Colt Defense'. I only listed it as 'Colt' on the form because the pulldown menu did not have 'Colt Defense' and I thought the list was definitive. I was afraid it would be rejected. Approved.
