I only have a small inkling of what this process is. The FFL receiving my virgin lower says he is a Type 10 FFL and a class 2 SOT, one of only 3 in WA. Can handle any type of NFA transfer in WA......but me making a SBR for my Trust only. I'm not sure about any of this, want to do right.

A Type 10 is "Manufacturer of Destructive Devices" and is fairly uncommon. I think the number nationwide hovers around 200. Many will be recognizable manufacturer names to the average gun guy, like FN, Dillon, etc.

Most so-called "machine gun dealers" are Type 07.

Here is ATFE's list of Types with a chart you can use to find license holders by state.

I'm sure you've researched the process, but since you have plenty of time to read while you wait, here are some links that include SBRing:

Of course a search on "SBR process" will no doubt get a few thousand explanations...some of which may be right:)

Wow good stuff.

The guy was very cool. I learned a lot. He has a machine gun, something an "ordinary" citizen in WA state can't own - state law. Only FFL's may own them.

Anyway, I left with my lower and paid him his $25. He had a good point I should build the gun up as an AR pistol, and at the very least if everything fits up right and the lower is good, then start the SBR process online.

The Grease Gun lower is quite nice. Very heavy duty and the trigger guard is permanent. I have it almost altogether except I don't have the one size roll pin starter for the bolt release. I need to wait for that to arrive. I don't just want to wail it in.

I even did the clevis pin trick for the hinge pin. Haha worked great and the detent pin and spring remained in place. No big scratches so far.

I ordered an Ergo grip and some Diamondhead USA polymer sights, those are the only parts I'm short. Oh and I need a pistol tube. I already have a Sig brace.
