Say I purchase a complete SBR upper, and don't have an NFA stamp back yet. Can a friend of mine with an SBR stamp install my upper on his lower to shoot? I'm assuming that since the completed gun will be on a lower with a serial number that has a tax stamp, it would be ok.

But always good to see what the HTF has to say...

Sure.  He's free to put whatever SBR upper on it he wants, so I don't see any reason why not either.  

HOWEVER, Just make sure you don't have a lower it can go on with you when transporting it.  Technically you shouldn't have a SBR upper in your possession if you have a lower.  But I'd absolutely make sure you're never in possession of both in any public place, including your car.

Or just get a pistol buffer and put it on a lower and shoot it like that.

Yup, he can sure put any upper he pleases as long as its registered.

Good point, though much easier said than done right now.    

But just be sure you don't take a lower off a rifle bought as a 'rifle'.  If memory serves you cannot take a rifle lower & make it a pistol unless it's been SBR'd, only the other way around.

Going to store the upper at a friend's house who has a legal SBR (at least until I get my stamp).

Fun times ahead...

Of course, need to wait for LaRue to build it.. ;(
