Can I order a barrel and parts to convert a rifle over to SBR before I get the lower stamped?

Preferred method is:
Build a pistol. Then send off the form 1 and engrave. Wait for stamp. Add stock.

Don't have a short upper without either a SBR or pistol lower to put it on.

You're going to be waiting 5-6 months for the stamp to come back, an extra week waiting on a barrel is a drop in the bucket.

But still, the quickest/easiest way is to build the pistol, but it's not the cheapest because now you have a new rifle instead of converting an existing one.

Buy a PSA lower, have it transferred as "other" use it in pistol configuration for SBR upper host until stamp arrives.

What I personally ended up doing was buy a separate lower, transfered as "other" then bought a pistol buffer tube.  Then I built my SBR upper.

I never built that lower up as a pistol, but I had everything there just so no one could give me issues. I didn't want an SBR upper laying around the house without a LEGAL lower host for it. Was that 100% necessary? Probably not, but it was there in case.  And now,  ive moved my SPRish upper onto it, and it's my "precision" rig.

Yes you can, as long as you have an approved Form 1.
