Back to the tax stamp. The question is when it gets registered as an SBR, does the barrel length have to be listed? Keeping barrel options is part of the appeal.
Scout - yes, the barrel length as well as the overall length of the firearm is specified on the ATF Form-1. Please also note that you are dealing with ATF on this, not the FBI. They have a great website at http://www.atf.gov . And you can even submit your Form 1 online and finish it by mailing in your photos and fingerprints (and of course $200).
EDIT: Don't take my word for this, but I highly doubt that you would be hassled if the length varied +/- a couple inches. If you're talking 10 inches, then maybe yeah.

Duly noted. I will check again with my FFL, he is pretty good with the Class 3 stuff.

This gray area stuff is total crap & constructed to to do nothing more than to “catch” people at random acts of ownership of stuff. Total BS!!

Well I own a hacksaw and a 4" grinder with a cut-off wheel so technically I could make all my rifles SBF's. I better get rid of my tools!!!! LOL

The key word here is "could", but you didn't. So you're good to go with all your tools.

Well, the two-piece stock has had a setback. Minor one, as this plastic is not that would be the final product.
Fired well on the 22. moving stock to 357, I broke it.
R&D It's a process

Another consideration- IF it were to be approved (I have my doubts) then it could only be transferred/ sold as an NFA item in perpetuity.
Incorrect. You can email ATF to have it removed from the registry. Actually they don’t really remove it but amend it to say it’s back to its non-NFA configuration

Yes but you can swap barrels back and forth without issue. This isn’t much different than folks like myself who have a NFA registered AR-15 lower and use several sub 16-inch uppers in various calibers for that one lower

That's true.... I was meaning sold/ transferred in that configuration

Do you have other assembled, unregistered lowers in your possession? If you do, be careful here. For example, if you have 1 assembled, registered lower, and 2 assembled, unregistered lowers along with 3 sub 16-inch uppers, you've got 3 SBR's. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but always be thinking that it "could"
