You must engrave your receiver.
I had mine laser engraved. While, I watched.
It is easier this way. I did not have to ship.
If you have to ship.
Have your receiver engraved before ATF approves your form 1.
You can to ship to an engraver if he has an FFL. Then, he has to ship back to an FFL.
If you wait, they both have to be Class 3.
It may just be a lower but it is a firearm.

It is just your Name, City & State. $40 is what it cost me.

Actually you can send it directly to the FFL, and they can send it directly back to you. A buddy and I both just did this last week, no problems. I used capitolarmory.com, $50 but nice work.
 


It is a gray area in the law. I talked to ATF about this and this what I got. They only "suggest". Crazy, I got so many different stories from Gun shops.

This is on line with ATF.

From ATF:
"Yes, a licensed gunsmith may receive a National Firearms Act firearm for the sole purpose of repair and subsequent return to its owner. It is "suggested that the owner obtain permission from ATF" for the transfer by submitting an ATF Form 5, Application for Tax Exempt Transfer and Registration of Firearm, to the NFA Branch and receive approval prior to the delivery. The gunsmith should do the same prior to returning the firearm."

A receiver is just a receiver, not an NFA item until it is assembled. I believe the law you are quoting is for the actual assembled item.
