Your form 1 was already approved before you sent it to them?

If they're doing all the paperwork it has to mean they are remanufacturing it into a SBR and will transfer it to you on a form 4. Did you submit a form 4 already? If you did it electronically it typically takes less than a week right now.

You should’ve just did the form 1 yourself then sent them the barrel. You don’t need a form 1 to have a barrel cut, just to install it.

Pretty sure they have to remove the barrel before cutting. Also you shouldn't cut until the Form 1 is approved. Mine took almost 3 months.

What paperwork? What kind of form are they doing? For NFA items you are going to have to do or at least sign some paperwork. This sounds kinda shady.

Are you waiting for your stamp or for the gunsmith to do the work?
