So the distinction is that I don't have to because I bought a complete SBR? Of course, it's got a pistol buffer until approval. I don't want to engrave my trust info onto the lower if I don't have to. I'll have a copy of the trust in it's case anyway.

Not entirely sure this is correct, but if you are buying the firearm as a complete SBR the. (I think) the manufacturer (Stag Arms) would have already registered it as an SBR IF it was originally sold by Stag Arms as an SBR. Otherwise the person or company that “manufactures” (assembles) it into SBR form is responsible for the engraving/registering.
My SBR is built on a Spikes lower which was just a bare lower when I bought it, never been built into a pistol, rifle, or SBR. Because I was the first one who caused that lower to become an SBR, I was considered the “manufacturer” and had to engrave my info on it. Had I bought a lower that had already been registered as an SBR, I still would have had to pay the tax and send in the form, but I would only be transferring ownership, not manufacturing a new SBR.
Like I said I could be wrong but I think that’s how it works.

Originally posted by Clay C View PostIf it came from the factory as an SBR, it does not require engraving. That is not the case with you. You will be "manufacturing" the SBR. There actually are people who claim it still doesn't require engraving, and that is not a game worth playing. Get it engraved.
