If you live in a state that allows for ownership of SBR's then yes you can. You would first submit a form 1 to the ATF and pay your $200 NFA Tax. When it comes back you can put a short barrel on your AR. (About 6 months wait at this point.)

You need to mark your lower with your name, City, and ST in order to comply with NFA rules.

There is a decent guide to Form 1-ing a firearm here (note its for SBS, but the process is essentially the same). There are general NFA resources (including a vid) here. A company that handles the engraving part is Orion Arms, info here.

Good luck, stay legal, and be sure to post pics.

+1 on Orion Arms.

Class operation with fast turn times.
