Question about ATF Form 1's

[MRE Milkshake]

When it comes to Form 1's, would it be legal to get a valid Form 1 and then have a gunsmith install the barrel that would make an A-15 an SBR, or is it something that the holder of that Form 1 would have to do?

Not sure I totally follow your question…but as I understand…the upper portion of the rifle does not constitute a firearm or in this case the SBR.

So then according to that logic, then it would be okay...

You can buy or build any upper you want, currently.
But you need a lower that has been Formed, tax stamped, and engraved before you can put them together.
Pistols excluded, but remember, once a rifle....always a rifle.

Technically, to avoid any chance of running afoul of the "constructive possession" laws, you shouldn't have any sub 16" uppers unless you have at least one SBR lower.
Again, pistols don't count.

Gotcha! Thanks for the advice!
