I believe anywhere on the barell is fine but please check with ATF to make sure. Also, the time the engraver will know if he has done many SBR engravings.....

I think that they have to be conspicuous as that is the requirement for licenced manufacturers. The ATFE seems to feel that an approved form1 is a license to manufacture a single gun. It would also make it easier to prove to law enforcement that your paper work matches the gun in the event of a misunderstanding. I had one with my MG when leaving an area we were shooting at. The guys next to us had a cell phone and thought we were outlaws. My buddies left to go four-wheeling in the desert and I headed for the road. Cops were waiting on the road for us. Eight police cars later they finally decided that they didn't have a criminal and let me go. Clearly visible markings on the gun and copies of my forms. I also had a 18.5" barreled double 12 that I think every cop there measured at least once as it just looked too short.

Not to be argumentative but the section I read simply states "on the barrel" and gives the required depth and size of the letters. It doesnt say any specific place except the barrel. If you had to remove a handguard to show the engraving then you would have to remove a handguard. I really dont think it has to be in any specific place to be conspicuous at all but like I said, the ATF is the people to get specific answers like to theis question.....
