What other forms or documents get sent with it? I am guessing the form, a money order or check, and a fingerprint card. Right?

First and foremost, you must ensure that SBS/SBR's are lawful in your state of residence. After that, and assuming SBS's are lawful in your state, you must:
- Complete and sign 2 copies of ATF Form 5320.1 (Form 1 - Application to Make and Register a Firearm)
- Attach 1 passport-style photos to each Form 1 (2 photos total)
- Obtain the original signature (certification) of the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) in your area on each Form 1. The CLEO may be the Chief of Police of your town, the Sheriff of your county or a District Attorney, among others. Depending on where you live and who you know this may be easy to obtain, or it may be virtually impossible.
- Complete and sign 1 copy of ATF Form 5330.20 "Certificate of Compliance"
- Include 2 sets of your fingerprints on ATF FD-258 fingerprint cards.
- Send all forms (with attached photos) and fingerprint cards, along with a $200 check (or money order) for payment of the Making Tax, to the address on the form. I recommend Registered Mail for this.
- Wait, wait, wait some more
- In approximately 30-180 days, ATF will return 1 original approved Form to you.
After ATF returns the approved form you may lawfully assemble or "make" your SBS. Please note that you cannot lawfully make the SBS/SBR until after ATF has approved your application, neither should you possess the parts to complete the SBS/SBR until you have received the approved form. As soon as you get the form back, make several GOOD copies of it, and put the original one up in a safe place like a fire safe, lock box or even better, a safe deposit box. The ATF WILL NOT replace it if you lose it, they will send you a crappy photocopy. REMEMBER...this form keeps your butt out of jail.
You will also need to mark the frame, receiver, or barrel with the following info by engraving or stamping. (This information must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch. and plainly visible, not hidden under the fore-end)
