Just received my first stamp. its a trust done sbr. my question is I haven't put it in a schedule a. or put the stock on it yet. can I legally give the lower to my father in law to take it to work and engrave it for me?

My guess would be no but I'm not expert by any means.

If he takes just the receiver, or the complete firearm in a configuration that does not meet the definition of an SBR, then yes - no problem.

If it is a "trust" SBR then simply add him as a trustee.  Then legally he can be in possession of the SBR.  No problem.  After the engraving, you can remove him as a trustee.

don't really want to Add him to the trust.  and yes it's just the lower receiver with no upper, stock or pistol tube. and I haven't even added it into the trust yet on a schedule a. I didn't think there would be a problem I just wanted to make sure.

Yes, it is a good idea to have it engraved BEFORE you make it an NFA firearm.

yes I understand that but this was my first item and I have access to a local engraver. what makes it a NFA firearm? the stamp when it comes back approved or actually configuring it as a NFA item. that's why I was trying to figure out since its not in my schedule a inside the trust yet or have the stock or configured as SBR yet. that is still just a stripped lower receiver that I shouldn't have any issues giving it to him to engrave and then get it back

The actual configuration is what makes it an NFA firearm. Get it engraved, then put the upper on. Now you have an NFA Firearm and should add it to your schedule.

A stripped lower is just that, a non-NFA firearm that you can give to him as long as he is not a prohibited person, or living in another state, etc.
