Well I finally took the plunge and sent my paper work in for my first NFA item. It's a form 1 for an SBR. I'm pretty excited but dreading the wait as many of you have felt before. I've been sitting on the paper work and check for the last month and finally kicked my self in the ass to drop it off. I've ran this thing as a pistol for the last few months and it runs great! Just a few things left to make it a little more lefty friendly and it's done. Anyways here is what I built:

-BCM 11.5" complete upper
-BCM full auto bolt carrier
-Rainer Arms Raptor charging handle
-Seekins precision lower
-RGuns lower parts kit
-Troy 11" Alpha battle rail
-Troy HK Style flip up front sight
-Daniel Defense 1.5 fixed rear sight
-BattleComp 1.0 compensator
-Magpul ASAP
-Magpul MS3
-Magpul rubber grip
-Gear Sector light mount
-Surefire 6PX defender flashlight

I decided on the seekins lower because of the left hand bolt release. I have only ran the rifle once with the raptor charging handle and I love it. Still need to add a bad ass safety selector and a forward grip once approved.

With a 11.5" barrel, you might already have an OAL of 26" to allow you to add the VFG.

Nice rig. How long is the average wait?

About 9 months minimum and that is very optimistic. My last one took that but I'm over that now on the next one.

I literally sat on the money and check for a month before getting them sent in. No good reason for it either other than being lazy. That's a nice rifle brews!

Kwando... You suck lol

I'll post my pic tonight we have identical pistols. It's also the first I've hear about the OAL >26" being ok to have a VFG. I guess I'll install mine tonight.

I am also sitting on two forms I am mailing this week for two cans. I wish if someone had one already in the queue it would get bumped. For shits and giggles I am including a cover letter asking if that's possible. I wonder the laughs that will get. Lol

Instead of a VFG use the AFG from mp. That is by ATF definitions not a Vertical grip. I did it to a few draco pistols.

I always thought anything over 26" is considered a firearm and no longer a pistol... i.e.

Careful they have zero sense of humor. Saw a post from a guy that put Personal Use and Zombie Apocalypse on his Form 1 Box 4i and it was returned.

I did an efile suppressor at the end of November. I'm hesitantly excited from the times I've been hearing. Hard to believe.

I will be pissed if you get your suppressor before my SBR!
