    I got my first SBR Form 1 Approved and I am waiting on my upper (back ordered), but in the meantime what am I required to have engraved on the lower and can someone point me to the document to read this?

    Engrave it with what ever you put in line 4a, and your city and state.

    Sorry that's wrong. Box 4a on a Form 1 is the original manufacturer of the lower and their city, state. For example, if you were using a Spike's lower, this box should read Spikes Tactical Apopka, FL. You would NOT want this info engraved AGAIN on your lower. ;)

    OP, you want whatever you put as the applicant name from box 3b as well as the city and state from the same box.

    Here's the ATF regs on this (from 27CFR479.102):

    Subpart G--Registration and Identification of Firearms
    Sec. 479.102 How must firearms be identified?
    (a) You, as a manufacturer, importer, or maker of a firearm, must
    legibly identify the firearm as follows:
    (1) By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise
    conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped
    (impressed) or placed on the frame or receiver thereof an individual
    serial number. The serial number must be placed in a manner not
    susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed, and must
    not duplicate any serial number placed by you on any other firearm. For
    firearms manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002,
    the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of the serial number
    must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch and in a print size no smaller
    than 1/16 inch; and
    (2) By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise
    conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped
    (impressed), or placed on the frame, receiver, or barrel thereof certain
    additional information. This information must be placed in a manner not
    susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered or removed. For
    firearms manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002,
    the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of this information
    must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch. The additional information
    includes:
    (i) The model, if such designation has been made;
    (ii) The caliber or gauge;
    (iii) Your name (or recognized abbreviation) and also, when
    applicable, the name of the foreign manufacturer or maker;
    (iv) In the case of a domestically made firearm, the city and State
    (or recognized abbreviation thereof) where you as the manufacturer
    maintain your place of business, or where you, as the maker, made the
    firearm;

    The caliber and serial # is already there, so you need to mark your name and city, state.

    Ok, I see what you guys are saying. I will check my form. It was Eform Trust so I assume I will put full trust name and city,state.
