No need to specify that it will be an SBR. They don't really care.

The very basic major steps:

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 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.

Congrats on getting started stamp collecting. Just a warning - its addictive.
