OK guys and gals this has probably been hashed out over and over but here goes. I purchased a new Colt lower. I did my little dance for uncle sam and after 6 months received my $200.00 tax stamp for a SBR. I now want to buy a 10 inch upper. Now is where the question comes in. Do I or do I not have to engrave the lower with my name? I have read several posts that say I do, but when I read the law my interpitation is that it does not pertain to assembling a SBR. Only if I was manufacturing a lower. Can someone please set me straight?

Very well. I have 3 SBR'd rifles and all are marked.....it's the law..period. If you were to buy a SBR from say Vector Arms that is already a SBR...then you only have to do a transfer..same $200, slightly different form. You then do NOT have to add your name because you are not considered one of the manufacturers. |
Sorry if this sounds stupid. after you have it marked, what happens if you move? |

You need to let the ATF know. I think there is a special form to fill.....I don't know 100% on that one, but I am going to look now..... Click here......way too much info, but some good stuff |
As far as the engraving goes, nothing. You just leave it like it is, as that is where you lived when you originally made it. Now for the BATF side of things. If you move in-state, you don't need to do anything. If you move out-of-state, you need to send the BATF a copy of a Form 5320.20. |
