If you brought me your gun and said "Make this an SBR" - I would engrave it with my name on a Form 2 and then sell it back to you on a Form 4.I was wondering if I could not be the manufacturer. Form 4 is for purchasing an SBR right? I was wondering if I brought it to someone to have the barrel cut if I could use a form 4. Then I wouldn't be the manufacturer, they would.
It does indeed.Of course, this all assumes that SBR's are legal in your state...
Some of the AR lower receiver actual manufacturers will do that for you. There is a setup charge for the artwork, but then you can have them build as many of the lowers as you want with that design. On manufacturer that I deal with, it is also possible to have the lowers start with a particular pattern of serial numbers. You just have to ensure that you are dealing with the actual machine shop that manufactures the lowers, not the company that is reselling them. From what I've gathered, there are only a handfull of actual machine shops that are doing the manufacturing of all the lowers sold in the US. The one that I deal with got its start as a aerospace machine shop up in the Pacific Northwest... I suspect that turbine blades and such are a lot more critical on tolerances than lower receivers for ARs...Question, could I have it engraved from the factory (AR-15 lower) with my trust's name on it, then apply and build at a later date?
If I recall, the BATFE requires 'common English letters and numbers.'For an Uzi? How about registering your trust with a Hebrew name and using Hebrew characters? Maybe something like this?

Yet more proof that the burea-weenies in the government have usurped too much power and need to be removed.If I recall, the BATFE requires 'common English letters and numbers.'
