How much can I build... Now

[car53]

How much of my stripped lower receiver can I assemble before I get my stamp? Since you can buy a fully assembled lower can I install the trigger group and stock while I wait?

I am assuming you are referring to an SBR? AFAIK, you can build the entire lower, just can't have an SBR upper in posession.

What about engraving? Anyone south of Indy do it? Shooter, can bradis do it?

No, we can't do it. I personally use orion-arms.com: custom firearm engraving in Minnesota. I'm sure there are folks in-state who can take care of it, too.

I'd use them but they are back logged 4 week not including the shipping time. There is a guy who goes by Purple72 who said he does it but that was from a post in 2009 and i cant PM until i have 15 posts. I think he is out of the Richmond area. Actually shooter, you posted on the same thread.

Not to hijack but can you build the SBR and just run a pistol buffer tube on it untill you stamp get in then put on a stock ?

 

[car53]

I'm no expert but I think that shows constructive intent, you might be pressig your luck.

Not pressing luck at all it would be a pistol plain and simple.

My lower is currently being engraved by Ident Marking Services ~ Home

They got favorable marks on ARFCOM, and were often recommended as an Orion alternative.

About building a pistol...
You are certainly legal to build it as a pistol until your stamp comes back, and then just throw a stock on it. Just one thing... don't have the stock around while you're waiting. Either hold off on ordering it or give it to a friend to hold until your stamp comes back.

does it not have to be registered as a pistol to be a pistol? i ordered mine as a pistol without markings and pistol buffer tube. i will put a stock on it once i get the stamp back.


laser scrib in indy is doing my engraving. they were 35 bucks and said a week. dropped it off to them on wed 23rd of feb, so we will see

iI have a new RRA pistol buffer kit 4 sale if you want. I ended up going 14.5" w/ a pinned 1.5" comp. I'll just use mine as a riffle until I get a stamp. PM me if interested.

The way I understand it a stripped lower can be built into a rifle or a pistol. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

Firearms aren't "registered". Receivers are transfered to you as receivers, and can be either a pistol or a rifle, just not both. You can build a virgin lower as a pistol and you can later change it to a rifle. You can also build it as a rifle. Once it is a rifle, it can't go back.

You are perfectly legal to build your SBR as a pistol until your stamp comes back. Then throw the stock on it and have a good time!

when you get your stripped lower and your ffl calls in for approvel on the purchase you must decide if it is a pistol or a rifle at least thats the way they did mine. if you already purchased it and the dealer said it was a rifle then your out of luck going to a pistol right?

Things changed with the last 4473 revision; stripped lowers are now transferred as "other" because they can be built into a pistol or rifle.

If you are already waiting forever for the stamp, what's a little backlog!
