    Yeah, that would be certainly be more convenient than sending it off if you can find a local engraver that can do a good job. I like my SBRs engraved in the trigger well with the tiniest font possible...beyond the skill of any local engraver I know.

    Until your paperwork is approved it's not an NFA item. Get it engraved when you send off your paperwork and you'll be good. Once your paperwork is approved it's an NFA item and you should already have it engraved so the FFL/engraver portion doesn't matter.

    Other than cosmetic, are there any concerns about using a 1/16" tall metal stamp (individual)? (would use a steel backer on inside of magazine well).

    This could be on a cast, 6061 machined or 7075 forged receiver..

    A local SBR owner needs the marking and I have stamps for other machining work... He would do the stamping and has his form 1 already... (bass ackwards I know)

    Just received my ship notice from Ident. They had my lower for 32 days so their 4 week lead time is pretty darn close to reality.

    Just sent my third lower to Orion to get engraved. They did a very good job on my first two, so no complaints. I probably have another four months till my last two stamps get approved, so turn around time is not too bad

    I dropped my lower off with Gray Engraving, San Antonio TX. I couldn't wait for it to be done as I was traveling with family, but it wound up at my door step a few days later.

    Looks good.

    Keith at NFAInvestments does great work. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

    Even if a receiver is registered with the NFA as an SBR, it's still not an SBR unless it actually has a short barrel installed on it. For the purposes of engraving, you can take or send a stripped receiver, or the assembled lower, off to be engraved by an FFL/gunsmith without worrying about their SOT status.

    Hmac, if a business is not primarily in the business of engraving firearms, I don't think it would be required to have an FFL.
    For example: a local engraver does a single lower for one customer.
    Similar to many people who work on/duracoat/paint their friends guns without having an FFL.
    Or the ever maligned 'private seller' at the gunshow.

    Being 'engaged in the business of', according to all other examples that the BAFTE has ruled on, requires that a business (or individual) is, in fact, engaged in making a living by engaging in the selling, modifying, personalizing firearms.
    Hell, I could make 50 AR's (or any other type of semi-auto weapon) from scratch, and as long as I don't sell them, I don't need an SOT, as I'm not 'engaged in the business' of making and selling firearms.
    That is why there is a good market for 80% lowers.
