Correct, the GCA still applies, but Form 1s/4s are mechanisms for complying with the NFA. For beneficiaries of this ruling, these forms are no longer required.
Silencer Shop has a good video on IG explaining why 1/4’s would still be required. I’d recommend you and anyone else reading check it out. Don’t want any of my fellow Americans getting locked up over a misunderstanding.
After reviewing this I think you're correct that for now at least a Form 4 may still be required for an FFL to transfer an SBR / SBS. I have updated the article accordingly.
This said, I have seen nothing indicating that a Form 1 is required to make one of these items, which is the focus of this article, so I think we're still good there.
I see what you mean about the differentiation between form 1 vs form 4. I hadn’t thought about that. I think you’re correct. As long as you’re a member of one of the involved organizations, form 1’s shouldn’t be required.
Is there more to it than 18 USC 922 b 4? Because that's for dealers and that only covers Form 4.
18 USC 922 a 4 is the independent everyman "don't cross state lines" provision but that's Form 20 and that's already only filed if you intend to move between states.
I'd wait for a big fancy lawyer to say "SBRs are okay" but I don't think there's specific regulation in the GCA that says you can't *make* them.

Yes, waiting on opinions from the experts is probably best.
Yep, you nailed it. This is exactly what I was told when I asked a couple local lawyers that fight at the state Level for gun rights. Down to the letter. Same advice about continuing to serialize, aside from that its printer go brrrrrr.
Thank you for your work and research - I had been struggling to find confirmations regarding "building" or "manufacturing" since a lot of this is centered around the sales and transfers as required by the NFA.
I had done research myself and my findings align with what you indicated. So it's comforting to know that two "laymen" (aka not attorneys) could reach the same conclusions by reviewing independently - for whatever that is worth.
The GCA still applies, therefore form 1/4’s are still required for SBS/SBR’s.

I’m just waiting for the day I can break out the 1/8 drill bit.
