I'm guessing a tax stamp is still required to be legal, but does that have to be on file prior to shipping the upper?

The upper will run on any Colt pattern 9mm lower. To use an real collapsible stock, you do need a tax stamp.

You can get mag blocks to insert into a regular lower. There are some reliable choices. If you're using a standard AR trigger pack, as long as the PA bolt is ramped it should be fine (I think it is, a quick look from anyone who has bought one will confirm)

Yes. If you take the upper without a tax stamp, it's "constructive intent." Or, just don't do anything that gets your property searched, if you're going to receive the upper without a stamp..

I generally understand peoples reservations about SBRing and tax stamps.. but it is very easy, and you are no more "on the radar" than anyone else.

"Pistol Braces" are meh. Get a stamp, shoot in comfort.

If only the ATF gave you specific instructions on how to do so. I still want to know where and how to do the fingerprint portion. THere is a place up the road that does electronic fingerprinting, but you have to pay for them to store them for you.

What a BS policy! I went to a local UPS store, paid a fee, got electronically printed, and got to keep the .EFT file for future use. From what I recall, that they had a webpage to search for locations to do this. This UPS Store had a particular kiosk that not all of them have.

I've uploaded it through the ATF efile website with the rest of the required forms/photo/etc. for the last several Form 1s and Form 4s.

I'll be going to UPS over by PDK airport.

Now, where exactly do I upload the file in the form?

Where do I get the sheriff department info?

That's ridiculous. Any place that won't give you the .eft file can fuck right off.

Responsible Persons page, far right under "Actions" there's an X icon and a page icon with a pencil. Click the page icon, this will open a window where you enter everything. Center of that page is a field for uploading your .eft file.

Should be a website for your local sherriff. My FFL advised me to just use our state attorney general since they're the top LEO in the state. Works great.

Mars, I know silencer shop does all the work for you but you have to pay I think $50.

M4Super90, what kind of tri-lug did you use on your barrel?

Whatever Steve had in the shop at the time. Its just a plain jane 3 lug that threads on. He threaded the barrel like the Colt 9mm - 1/2 x36.

There's an upper available!

OK, my fingerprints are done.


UPS is merely the location of the scanning machine. Certifix Livescan is the service. You fill out the card online and then get a QR code to present at UPS. From there, you're on your own again.
