I’m in the process of SBRing my MK18 and I wanted to make sure I’m doing everything I need to. I’ll be going the eform route.
I live in IL so in order to own an SBR I need to have an 03 FFL (curio & relics). Check.
I need to have the lower engraved with my name, city, and state. That’s currently in progress, but I’m wondering if I’ll run into issues because I just put my middle initial rather than my full middle name...
I need to fill out my eform 1 with my info, add my firearm as a line item, measure OAL without creating an illegal SBR in the process, notify CLEO, and pay $200. I’ve filled out the app and saved it, and I’m just waiting to get the lower back so I can make sure the engraving is correct. I believe the eform automatically notifies my CLEO, but if I’m mistaken please let me know.
I also know I need to get fingerprinted and send those in with a cover letter. I purchased the official cards from amazon, now I just need to get the prints done.
My main question/uncertainty revolves around my 03 FFL. All NFA “how-to” guides I’ve found are for those living in free states who do not have to jump through these extra hoops. I found information online that provides guidance on how to associate my FFL with my eform account (link and quote below). What I’m not understanding is the 9-digit EIN part. Is that provided to me somewhere on my FFL to paperwork, or do I need to take an extra step to obtain an EIN? I was able to associate the FFL to my account as described in the first procedure, but I’m not sure that’s sufficient for applying for an SBR. Or am I overthinking things and the FFL/NFA association is for “real” FFLs?

• The NFA/EIN association process is a two-part approval. The FFL information will first be validated and there will be a status change shown in the system. The second part involves the checking of the EIN. For NFA transfers in eForms, the EIN is used to capture the inventory information of the requestor. As such, the NFA Division will check the inventory for the specific EIN before approving the association request.
