So I recently purchased a CZ scorpion carbine without the faux suppressor. I'm now eyeballing and shopping around for a Kriss Vector. I would love to eventually SBR both firearms.

From reading around online and videos. I need to go through all of the proper steps, submit my paperwork and then wait for the approval to SBR each individual firearm. Once approved on the scorpion, would I just need to take my rifle and paperwork to a gunsmith to machine down my barrel? On the vector, would I be better off just buying the pistol variant and going from there for a faster approval?


Also, I have read where people with trusts have been getting a faster approval time. Is this true? If there truly is a added benefit to a trust, can someone recommend a place to get a trust? I've seen them advertised online from anywhere from $75 all the way up to $600.

No truth to the trust being faster at all. That was the case several years ago. There are advantages to using a trust, mainly the ease of dealing with items when the original owner dies (or no longer wants the items), some privacy advantages, and the ability Form multiple people to possess the item without a transfer taking place.

You have the general process down. But I don’t own either of those firearms so the options to SBR aren’t anything I’m familiar with. In most cases, buying a pistol that can be converted to a rifle is a fast and simple way to go. Swapping a barrel is another option depending on the platform.

Surely somebody that has those particular firearms will be along to help.
 
I SBR'd my Glock 22 so I could put it in my Micro Roni with folding stock. If you think you may be changing from pistol to SBR and back from time to time, would make sense to buy the pistol version of the Vector.
You also will need to have the name of your trust and city/state laser engraved if you use the trust.
I recommend the trust, keeps the items out of probate when that time comes.
I got my trust with my first suppressor from Tarheel State Firearms, Scott was great to deal with and also engraved my Glock frame.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did the trust cost you?
 
I paid several hundred dollars for my first trust from a local lawyer.

Paid $49 for a new one last year from thetrustshop.net
 
As far as the Kriss, buy the pistol then SBR it. It would cost way more to have a gunsmith cut,crown, and thread the barrel than buying a stock and attaching once the stamp is approved. E-file is the way to SBR one. The e-file times are <30 days iirc. I am with Waylon on the trusts, right now I am seeing no differences in the lead times.
