    NFA Form 1

    On the form 1 it asks for the barrel length. What if after sending the form in, I decided I want a shorter or longer barrel than specified on the form?

    Also next to that is the overall length. This could change with everything from muzzle device to stock. What if this changes?

    The basic rule is that you put the upper you have in the box. If you decide later its ok if its not permanent. If it is perm you can a either send a letter our just roll with it. If you have the original upper its not necessarily perm. If not don't run around telling people how you got one over on the Atf and you'll be fine.

    That's what I figured but I just wanted to make sure so I don't get burned in the future for being off an inch or something.

    Thanks.

    You can use whatever barrel and/or caliber on your NFA registered lower and don't have to do anything as long as you are able to return it to its registered configuration. IOW, keep the barrel length and caliber you put on the Form 1. If you decide to change the length or caliber permanently, you theoretically are supposed to notify BATFE. They may or may not send you an acknowledgement, and if they do it could take up to a year, maybe even longer.

    The muzzle device doesn't change barrel length unless its pinned and welded.

    Right but it changes the overall length. If I go from a KX3 to an A2, just as an example, it will get shorter.

    Oh yeah. but I was just talking about barrel length. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. Get close. A half an inch is going to get you rejected.

    Burned by whom, for what? After you have your approved forms no one really cares about your shit aside from internet nutballs that want to scare people.

    if you have a registered "SBR" could you have more than 1 sub 16in uppers in your possession? or just one and as many 16+ uppers as you want?

    From what I have been told, you can have as many uppers in as many calibers as you can afford in any length. Always keep your original length/caliber upper and/or notify ATF in writing of any permanent change.
    I would also make sure that any non-NFA M4 rifles are completely assembled with their respective 16+" uppers. It is not recommended to have lower receivers with no uppers attached at home with SBR uppers. Just keep it clean and organized.
