If I want to build an select fire SBR, do I have to fill out two forms for the same firearm?

No newly made civilian-owned machine guns are allowed.  Period.  You can do the SBR by "making" it and filing the Form 1 (and paying the $200 tax), but you CANNOT build a new machine gun for private ownership.  Sorry.  Blame Congress for that one.

If you were able to register a MG as a civilian, you can use any length barrel you want. But you can't, so you just need one stamp for SBR.

NO GO.

ETA - You could get your CII mfrs license, FFL/SOT Type 07. Then you could make one, but it would have to remain the property of your company.

There's no such thing as a select fire SBR since MG's don't carry barrel length restrictions like semi autos do. Semi auto SBR = 1 stamp. MG buy = 1 stamp with no minimum barrel length requirement. The only way you can have a MG is if you fork out $10K+ for a registered receiver or $5K+ for a RLL or RDIAS. Otherwise it's not legal for a private owner to build a new MG.

If you plan on moving the RLL or RDIAS from an AR with less than 16" barrel to another host it will need an sbr stamp because it reverts to a title one without the RLL or RDIAS.



but if you shell out the coin what you want is possible.

AND you need documentation from some potential customer that says they're interested in what you might have to offer.  A type 7 license is not a "license to play with machine guns."  It's also expensive with tedious record keeping requirements.
