SBR FAQ (Page 24 of 27)
|
Length of my Kel-Tec SBR project. The PLR-16 has a 9.2" barrel and is 18.5 oal. The SU-16C has a 16" barrel and is 35.5 extended or 25.5 folded. the difference in barrel lenth is 6.8" so that would make the PLR-16 with the addition of the folding stock 28.7 or 18.7
My question is what they wanted on that form. The extended length with the stock folded 28.7 inch? |

Should've asked...why not use EForms? If you want to go that route, this thread will walk you through it step by step. |

The extended length with the stock folded 28.7 inch? OAL on form is fully extended. (Which doesn't make sense, but it's what they want). And just round the stuff off. 29" would be good, if 28.7" is the actual measurement. |

I'm having a problem paying for my stamp on the efile site.
I get to the certify screen and I get the green box that says the app is validated, I check the certify box and click on pay. The window to pay pops up and all it contains is a "close" button. I've been through the whole thing and can't see anything wrong. Anybody have ideas? |

I've had to sign out and sign back in a few times on the same form before. Sometimes it saves the form and sometimes you gotta redo the whole thing.... |

I've been logging off and back on for three days and it's still the same. I'm afraid I'm going to have to file the old fashioned way. |

I only use my laptop to upload the attachments, and use my phone for everything else. If you don't have a smartphone, borrow somebody's and try to login and pay, then submit. |

Yes (we used to all leave this blank, but they've changed the wording on the new form...maybe they still accept them blank, but I've not filed a new version of the paper form) |

I'm sure this has been covered before but I can't seem to find it.
With 41P looming, if I file a form 1 tomorrow on efile, would I still fall under previous rules where fingerprints are not required? I will be using a trust. I'm just trying to get clarification because I'm hearing different things. Any help is appreciated. |

All submissions are held to the rules in place when they're submitted (or postmarked). 7/13/16 is the date the new rules go in effect, unless something changes. Go read page 164 of 41F for proof. |

Did you file as an individual, or entity? They're not required for entity applications. Did you file using the current Form 1? (The one with the 3rd page for payment by CC). If so, the CoC info is now included, so even as an individual you're good assuming you filled out page 2. |

The .pdf linked in the first thread is12 years old according to the last update...
Question 1: Is it really okay to put a "range" or "less than" when it asks for the overall length? That seems like something the ATF would kick back, but I have no experience with this! Question 2: Can I just guess and use 29.5" for a 10.5" barrel with SOPMOD Bravo or CTR stock? I don't have everything to measure. Question 3: If I plan on running an 11.5" barrel from time-to-time, which barrel length and OAL should I list? 10.5 or 11.5? I'm buying the 10.5" first...then will be buying an 11.5" down the road. Thank you for any help on this! |

Awesome, thank you BigWaylon! Off to finish up the e-form and get this moving.
Stupid question alert  : Is it actually legal to get a stamp for a stated 10.5" barrel and then use an 11.5"...or is it just that it's not a big deal and no agent would ever really come after you for it? Say, it gets used in a self defense situation and comes in to question and their looking at your stamp and it says 10.5 but you had an 11.5 on it at the time...
Thanks again! Originally Posted By BigWaylon:

| It's actually legal. The specs are for the initial build only. The recommend you notify them of any permanent change. They can't require it because there's no regulation to back it up...but they have to ask because they're required to keep the registry as accurate as possible. Plus, there's not much you can do that's permanent on the AR platform. |

| I just found a mistake on my first form 1 submission. It was for a 9mm scorpion evo, but I accidentally selected inches instead of mm for the unit of measurement option. Should I cancel this form and resubmit, or leave it and expect an email/call from the atf for a correction? |

Mixing me all up. Alright so all the questions pertaining to the rifle and myself are on one page front & back. Page two is simply "Method of Payment", one sided nothing on the back. X2 so that means I would be sending in four (4) pieces of paper plus two (2) fingerprint cards. Thanks Again |

Thanks Again The current F1 & F4 have the CoC. That change was sometime in the last two years. One copy of the payment page is enough...even if it was multiple forms being submitted. They don't send a copy back. Two copies won't hurt, just unnecessary. Same reason you can send a single check and a single set of fingerprint cards. |
| All of my form 1 SBR's have been submitted using stripped lowers. Can I also form 1 my factory built lowers? Eg: I have a 16" KAC SR15 can I SBR it and swap back and forth between 11.5 & 16" uppers once approved? |

| I submited my efform with my trust two weeks ago. I came across a good deal on a 10.5 upper. Can I have the upper while waiting on the form to be approved? I purchased a stripped lower last year could this be used as a pistol build until I get approved? The lower I submitted is already on a carbine upper. Hate to miss the deal just not completely clear on the rules. |

Hate to miss the deal just not completely clear on the rules. You can definitely build an AR pistol with that upper while waiting. Or, buy the upper and just ship it to me. I'll take good care of it.

City & state where you physically make the SBR 3. Caliber, only if it's not already marked on the frame, receiver or barrel. Only time this usually happens is if you're using a lower marked "multi" and the barrel isn't marked. It needs to be engraved when assembled. Doesn't matter if it's before you file, between filing and approval, or between approval and building. |

Other than that, it's basically the same. |

I submitted two Form 1's, one yesterday and one today. When I was submitting today I noticed that on the one I submitted yesterday for the address instead of putting Oklahoma City, Ok I accidentally selected OKC, Ok is this going to be an issue? If so what do I need to do in order to get it corrected? |

If the barrel is marked, but the lower says multi does the lower still need to be engraved? How many calibers can be marked on the lower? Not me personally, but Im sure there are guys out there using stamped lowers for 5.56 and 300BO. What if you want to use both? |

If the barrel is marked, no reason to engrave the lower with caliber. I don't know if there's a clear answer to your other question. Some say you only engrave the original caliber on the F1. Others say the firearm always needs to have the correct caliber on the firearm when it's assembled...which would be the case if the barrels were marked. I've never worried too much about it as I build complete ARs and have never swapped an upper. |

BigWaylon, thanks for your replies to everyone on here. i have gotten a lot of questions answered just reading your replies.
one i haven't seen is regarding the engraving if done as a trust. if the name of the trust is ABC revocable living trust, does that whole thing have to be on the receiver or is ABC Trust sufficient? |

It's supposed to be the complete trust name that matches the F1. It's why everyone recommends naming the trust something short. There's no reason to have revocable or living in the trust name...the body of the trust will define how it functions. |
