Question for the group............Im doing my ATF form 1 to register a existing lower for a SBR..............who do we take these to in oder to get the CLEO to sign off on and since we are already in possesion of the lower does it have to go thru the states hands prior to going to ATFE? Any 1st hand exp. would be helpful from the MD guys......................

Here's a good thread from a couple of months ago:

I would advise you to not make a SBR until the F1 is back in your hands.  I wouldn't even buy the barrel yet.

Otherwise, if you already legally own the title 1 gun with the long barrel, you do not have to do anything special to make it a NFA item other than what I listed in the other thread.

I might not be following your question correctly, but the state does need to sign both frorm off before you send them to the ATF with a $200 check.  You are looking at 4-6 month wait (1 month being the MSP).

That really was a good thread.  I learned a lot from that one.  Not enough apparently, because I still screwed up the prints thing, but I'm on the right path now for my SBRs.  Plus I'm on a slippery slope towards a can, too!  

Thanks for listing the link for this again...
