And even then you'll have your name and location from the engraving out there floating around for whoever winds up with the lower.

    I'd guesstimate $450 invested in the lower and $75 resale value.
    Buy a factory SBR and solve the problem. For example, and LE6921 runs around the same price as a LE6920.

    Where? I'd like to get an LE6921, but they're $1695 at SAW.

    That's much better. If they have them, it would save me more than the cost of the NFA stamp.

    I bought a Noveske and luckily was able to skip most.

    Unfortunately I did have Orion Arms do the engraving and I'm not too happy. He slopped black paint in the engraved area and smeared it around with a paper towel of some sort. There was a little dried lint I had to remove.



    Your post seems to have a lot of sass to it. Same thing I'd expect to see when 20 people complain about their Aimpoint clones breaking. I like it. Pretty funny.

    This is true but most want to build their own from scratch.

    Just noticed this, and I agree completely. All of my SBRs are factory and not engraved.

    How does buying a Factory SBR solve the paper work problem?

    RIF.

    The problems to be solved was the engraving:

    I went the 6921 route, got a great deal from Code4 LLC. I liked not having to have any additional engraving. Plus the 6921 actually is marked as a Colt M4 on the lower receiver. Actually, its marked "M4LE" but still...
