    SBR Engraving Question

    Are you supposed to have the lower engraved before or after it gets approved?

    I've had people tell me to do it both ways.

    Thanks

    My form 1 should be back anyday now. My lower will be engraved after approval. Didnt see any reason to permanently mark it before its approved.

      I don't think it matters...Just have it done before you complete the build.

        I did mine after approval, however, some like to do it before even sending their Form 1 to make sure the engraver does it correctly since the engraving can't be undone.

          get it done before so you don't waste those days after its approved

              I will always engrave mine before I submit paperwork. I've been burned multiple times by bad engravings, so I'm happy I went that route. Buying another lower definitely beats being stuck with a messed up engraving. Nothing worse than putting together a stack of high end parts and having to assemble them in a jacked up lower because the serial number was already submitted to ATF. Even the most highly recommended engravers make mistakes sometimes.

                What makes it a long wait? Isn't it as simple as having a gun shop engrave it? Maybe a week turn around?

                Or are you referring to a case where you wait for the form 1 to be approved and they botch the engraving job?

                  Bro..... Everyone knows the day you get the form 1 back you immediately go to the range and go Full Operator with the new SBR


                  He's just saying the anticipation on having a approved form 1 but then having to engrave it and wait longer sucksssssss even if it's only a week or 2 long.
                  Some of us have no patience haha

                    Oh I'd love to shoot it right after I pick it up! I didn't know if there was something I was missing on the engraving.

                    I'll also have to fill out a Dot 20 to get it back to Georgia....

                        From a legal standpoint, it does not matter. Before or after is fine. From a practical standpoint, since I've been doing gun trust, I have had several people have issues with Engraving. Based on those reported experiences, I would recommend that you engrave the receiver before you submit the form 1 and make sure that you're happy with the Engraving.

                          Form 1 was submitted in mid January. I expect the approval in the next few weeks. So given my circumstance, should I try to get it engraved before the approval or just wait until it gets approved?

                            Great question and great responses both ways.

                            If they jack up my engraving on one part, I'll just pick another spot and have them try and do it correctly there. It's not like I'm ever gonna sell it so the looks of a jacked up engraving don't really matter to me.

                              Doesn't matter. Just don't put the barrel on till the stamp comes back

                              I did mine after submittal and before approval
