View Full Version : SBR Upper question
Hello, I'm new to the forum. I stopped by Grant's shop (great place) the other day and now I'm thinking about an SBR upper for my unmodified Colt 6920.
I seem to remember reading on another forum that to legally assemble an SBR you need to (among other things) conspicuously mark the receiver. Am I off base here?
Thanks

Correct, after you get your CLEO's signature in your county, incorporate yourself within your state, or create a revocable living trust in your state, you send off your Form 1, payment, other paperwork to the ATF. If it has gone pending, this is usually a good time to send your lower receiver to someone who can engrave the appropriate wording into the lower. I stand corrected - I guess you do have to engrave!
Here is the engraving done on my first SBR, I did the trust route:

You can get it ANYWHERE on the lower itself. Buffer tube doesn't count. i have seen them done underneath the trigger guard, out of sight, and I have seen them on the mag-well towards the muzzle. As long as its there, and readable.

If you get the CLEO to sign you still need to engrave.
My first ended up like this.

Some conflicting information there. Could I please get further explination? I would be getting a CLEO signature. That is not a problem for me.
As far as marking goes, are there differences between:
1. Buying a complete SBR all at once
2. Buying an SBR upper and assembling it on a lower purchased separately at another time in which the lower was not part of an assembled gun
3. Buying an SBR upper and putting it on a lower that was previously purchased as a complete non-SBR gun (like I was thinking of doing)
Thanks

You still have to engrave even with a CLEO signature? WOW. :mad:

- If you buy a complete SBR, you are not 'making it' It has already been made. But how that translates into engraving, I dont know?
2. Buying an SBR upper and assembling it on a lower purchased separately at another time in which the lower was not part of an assembled gun
You will have to engrave for sure, you are making a "new weapon" in the ATF's eyes
3. Buying an SBR upper and putting it on a lower that was previously purchased as a complete non-SBR gun (like I was thinking of doing)
Same as above
Thanks
Engraving the lower is always a good idea (no matter which way you go).
Good to meet you and thanks for the info on upland bird hunting!

It was a pleaseure to meet you, too.
I hope you get down to Bucyrus for some pheasants. I'm headed out to the store today to get some supplies to cook a few of mine. The birds they use are good size and if you let them get up and away a bit before blasting them, they make fantastic sized servings. I wound up with one soup-bird, unfortunately. The others look really good.
Take care and give the pooches a scratch on the head for me.

Let me clarify.
If You, your Trust, Corp or LLC are making a SBR on a Form 1........then You, your Trust, Corp or LLC will be the manufacturer of the SBR.
If you are getting a prebuilt SBR as a transfer on a Form 4 you won't have to engrave as it'll already be engraved with the manufacturers name, city state.
That makes sense. Thank you.
