SBR help

[O2HeN2]

1) Buy the lower
2) Take possession of said lower
3) Fill out Form 1
4) Get fingerprints done -- may be switched with 5 depending on your CLEO
5) Get CLEO sign off -- may be switched with 4 depending on your CLEO
6) Write check for $200
7) Put all the paperwork in mail
8) Wait..
9) Get approval (stamp will come in mail).
9a) Make a copy of said stamp/form and put original someplace safe
10) Buy or make your short barreled upper and attach to lower from above
11) Enjoy.

You forgot "engrave the lower with your name, city and state" somewhere in there (exactly when to engrave was the topic of a lively debate in here a couple weeks ago).

You must engrave the receiver with the above information when you "make" it via the Form 1. It must be visible and unobscured by anything else on the rifle. This is one of the advantages of buying an SBR -- you don't have to mark it up with that engraving. Of course, from the time you select the SBR you want to when you actually get to possess it could be on the order of a year that way. Going the Form 1 route allows you to possess and even shoot the rifle (with a barrel longer than 16") while you're waiting on the stamp.

Or if you get a virgin lower and 4473 the lower as a pistol or other under type of weapon you can have a working short barreled gun with no shoulder stock.

No I didn't..

You can get your lower engraved at any point in the process. Don't get wrapped around the axle about doing before or after you have approval.

FWIW: Check with MGT (machine gun tours) They might have factory SBR lowers in stock.

Up north here Bear Arms in Windsor has a few Factory SBR configurations. I was handling a SIG and a few other SBR's.

Looks like i found my next SBR. it's a nice light handling unit.
I like the factory vs. Form 1 SBR since i could if needed, sell it quicker as there needs no engraving of my info on it.
Yes i am aware there is a longer wait time if the rifle or Lower receiver is not in stock. However whats another 2 months ?

Call Alan @ MGT or Dave @ Bear Arms

It will eventually be a duty gun so I want the stock.

Thanks Jim, I'm not too far from MGT so that is a viable option

Your dept allows personal SBR's, nice.

I'm not with a dept. yet (still in academy) but the departments I'm looking at allow personal rifles. I have not confirmed that SBR's are allowed but I don't see why not. Especially since one dept. I'm looking at issues select fire m16's to the guys that don't have their own rifles.

John Rogers at Adamson Police Products in Longmont may still have some Colt SBR's in stock.
