Yes. You file the Form 1, when it's approved, THEN you make it into a SBR. You ask permission first, then do it when you get permission.

Is there anything more ridiculous than the short barrel rifle/shotgun rules? If there is, I'm hard-pressed to think of it.

Easy, the banking regulations in this country as well as the environmental regulations. My aunt managed a credit union and had a copy of the regulations. It looked like an Encyclopedia set, and that was before the PATRIOT act and all the new crap they have passed. Not that any of that stopped Bernie Madoff of course.
