Re: SBR QUESTION

No, a Form 3 is what NFA dealers use to transfer items among themselves. You use a Form 1 to register your lower as an SBR. Other than that, yes, it's the same process as a can. Fill the form, get CLEO sign-off, passport photos and fingerprint cards, send it all in duplicate with a $200 check to BATFE and wait 3 months.

Re: SBR QUESTION

You can buy the upper now assuming you don't have any other lowers; otherwise it's considered a no no. If you have a lower now, you can still buy the SBR upper and keep it say at your frineds house etc. You have to complete a Form 1 and other forms depending on what route you take. Corporate, Trusts is far easier than asking a CLEO for a signature + you have to get fingerprinted, pics etc. Form 4 if you're buying a registered lower from a mfg. Form 3 is what dealers use to transfer NFA items to another dealer. Hope that helps.

Re: SBR QUESTION

Ls,

You can have a company/Class 2 SOT engrave the lower and register it on a Form 3 as an SBR and then have a Class 3 SOT transfer it to you on a Form 4 or have it engraved and register it on a Form 1 yourself.
