people with SBR or other form 1 toys

[mr_will]

i didnt know what section to post this in so i posted it in general. move it if it needs to be moved.

the question is how long did it take you to get your Form 1 back. I have an AR that i am thinkin about goin to around 12-14" with and was wondering how long i will be waiting.

forget the form 1. just buy a SBR lower. alan samuels had some don't know if there any left.
i was going to go Form 1 and decided not to. once you form 1 your lower it needs to be engraved with your name, city, state etc. which makes it very hard to sell if something arose and you had to sell off your guns.
my SBR lower took forever (from the mfg) but you would never know its registered as a SBR as there is nothing other then the serial # that gives it away.


if you keep the bbl length 14" use a vortex f/hider attached permanently and you stay legal w/out the need to SBR your lower.

It depends on your examiner as well as many other things like how long it takes FBI to get your prints back.

My advice is if you are concerned with a time limit don't ever think about NFA weapons. You simply submit the paper work and wait a month then check to see if it's pending. After that you forget about it and when it shows up it's a surprise.

Since ATF moved they have been much faster for some people and not others it realy depends. You are rolling the dice nobody can say.

+1, it's not worth $200 to have a 14.5" M4 barrel, just permanently attach a 1.5" or longer flash hider. If you want an 11.5" barrel I would go with a Form 1, current average wait on them is about 45 days. For the engraving you can have a jeweler do it for about $50. I think I remember the only requirements are that the letters have to be at lest 1/16" tall and .005" deep. I have seen AR receivers that were done on the bottom of the receiver by the cut out slot for the trigger and its hardly noticeable.

I dont want to do the permanent mounted flash hider on an AR. I did that on my Mak90 but i dont have a Front site to mess with on it so it was not big deal. On an AR if i had to ever remove the FSB i would be screwed.
I would want around 14" over all after the brake is on so I am thinkin 12.5-13" actual barrel length probably i will have to look at it and determine exactly what length i want.

Another question, If i register a lower as a SBR can i buy any short barrel upper i want for it after that. I.E. can i get a 10" 9mm upper if i want? As long as it only goes on that upper.

sorry for the questions I am a newb on this stuff and want to do this the legal way not billy bob with a hack saw way

Yes you can. If you are thinking of doing this you might want to write all the various calibers you think you might use on the Form 1, I don't think it is required but not a bad CYA move either.
