E file form 1 is really easy. I just did a couple recently. When you file, I would probably put the shortest length you plan on having and the same for caliber.
Sure. You can Form 1 an AR lower as an SBR without having any other rifle parts and stick it in a safe if you want. You can finish it with any barrel length you want any time you want.
No matter how it's "registered" it's not an SBR unless and until it has an upper with a barrel shorter than 16 inches mounted on it. If it has no upper, or if you decide to put a 16 inch barrel on it, it's not an SBR.
I continue to be appreciative of all the responses to my question. For those wondering why I don't just do a factory sbr, I could, but I don't want to wait the lengthy period it apparently takes to get approved with substantial $ tied up during that time. Also, going the form 1 route gives me more flexibility as to which lower I buy, and which upper I choose to mate it with. I may also buy a complete pistol down the road and then apply to sbr that weapon as well. Like I said in my original post (I think) I am relatively new to AR's. My life experience has pretty much been pistol/revolver shooting and I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in that arena. But it has been fun getting into the AR game. Just trying not to get too addicted to it right now.
To stay legal, assemble your lower as a pistol using an SBA3 arm brace, install the shorty upper of your choice and enjoy shooting while waiting for your paperwork to come back.

I have a SBR lower that was filed as an 11.5" upper. Can I sell the upper and change to a 12.5" upper?
Thanks
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
There is no requirement to be able to return it to the configuration on the form.
