You need to fill out an ATF Form 1, actually two of them in duplicate. Make sure they are printed front and back because the Form 1 is two pages. You will also need to have two completed finger print cards. I get the cards from my local NFA dealer and its 15 bucks at the police station to have them completed. You will also have to attach a 2x2 passport photo to the back of each Form 1. Then have your local Chief of Police or County prosecuting Attourney sign the back of each Form1.
I believe the lower has to be registered has an SBR because it's the only part that can be either a rifle or pistol. If it's a pistol than barrel length doesn't matter but a "rifle" lower has a short barrel then it has to be registered as such.Beladran said:

Be VERY careful using ATF letters of clarification like the one listed above. If it is not addressed specifically to you (this one is not) and the situation is different (it is) it has no standing with your particular situation. There is a very stark difference between NFA rules from the NFA handbook and a letter of clarification. If you did something backed up by this letter you could not site it in a defense of your situation as the letter was not addressed to you. Like the poster says in his post, the ATF can be a bit arbitrary on how rules are applied in different situations. I would hate to find myself with an inspector that disagreed with how I engraved an upper and all I had to refute is was this letter. I am not saying that if I had a letter addressed to me that clarified a point I would not use it, but I dont so I am going to error on the side of what is said in the NFA handbook (http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8.pdf).VegasSMG said:You may indeed mark the barrel with your information on a SBR build rather than muck up your lower receiver. The letter below was written by the then acting chief of the NFA branch.
Some folks have entered "MULTI" for caliber and had their 5320.01s approved while others have had them kicked back asking to list one caliber.
Same goes with barrel length. Some people have reported listing VARIOUS and have had them approved while others have had them returned for correction to one specific length.
I think it all depends on your legal instruments examiner. I've submitted 5320.20s listing "various clubs, ranges, and locations in the state of Texas" and had it returned asking for one specific location. I'd previously submitted and received approval for FL with the same wording. Go figure. The only thing consistent with BATF is their inconsistencies.
