I just received my trust today and plan to stop by a LGS friday to buy a new lower.
My question stems from wanting to assemble my own upper and not buy what the shop has in stock. I plan to go with a 11.5 barrel. So when can I actually buy the barrel? Must I purchase it from them and they hold it until I hear back on the stamp (like buying a complete SBR upper)? Or do I purchase it after I hear back on the stamp? Thanks! |

The correct answer is you buy it and give it to someone you know to hold until you get your approval.........or, you build your new lower as a pistol and you use the 11.5 inch barrel, then you put a stock on it after you get your approval........or, you wait until you have your approval to buy a short barrel. Those are some of the "correct" answers.
I think most will just build the lower as a pistol. I thnk you have to have the LGS paper the lower as a pistol. You can switch from a built pistol to a rifle, but not vice versa. (unless it was first built as a pistol) |
| Buy the barrel, build the entire upper even, just don't assemble it on any lower unless it's configured as a pistol. Might as well buy two lowers and SBR one and build a pistol out of the other so you can test/shoot the future SBR upper while waiting for your stamp. |

Nothing wrong with having the barrel or a full upper as long as you don't put it on the lower till it is approved. But why would he need two lowers? Buy a lower assemble as a pistol build then when stamp is approved switch out the pistol tube for a rifle tube and put your stock on and you are set. |
