ok, help me out please:

I own one AR and would like to build my second one.  I want it to be an ultra lightwieght.  I know if i have a barrel shorter than 16" overall, it is considered a short barrel rifle (SBR?), right?  it is then subject to the $200 tax stamp and background check, right?  So how do I go about this on a rifle I build?  Isn't it illegal to posses before i get the approvals?  but then how do i build it since i assume it has to be built to apply for the approvals??

*SIGH*

Someone please help with my lack of knowledge.

Thank You.

check Armory -> General Class 3 for more details

In a nutshell :
Register the stripped lower as SBR, then purchase the upper you want.

Pretty easy process really.
