If you have all the parts to assemble an SBR, then you follow all the SBR rules.

If you want to take it out of state into a state that doesn't allow for SBR's then you put it in a legal configuration, and leave the parts that would make it a NFA firearm home in the safe.

You now treat that firearm like a standard pistol and all standard rules apply.

So your Glock without the stock, is just a pistol. Doesn't matter if it's on the NFA registry or not. If you don't have the stock with you, then it's just a pistol. Treat it as such.

You don't need a 5320.20 to take it out of state if it's in a standard configuration. In fact, if you wanted to take it into a state that doesn't allow SBR's you COULDN'T get a 5320.20 approved.

Don't take my word for it. Write the ATF and ask them. They'll send you a polite letter with the 2011-4 letter attached.

Good luck.
