I think you are mistaken as you would be the only person I have ever heard this from.
You don't have to engrave an SBRed lower that is getting transferred to an individual only if it was already registered as an SBR from the original manufacturer or owner.
If you submit a Form 1 for a non-SBRed factory lower that is already engraved with the manufacturer and serial #, you still need to get it engraved with your name (or Trust name) and the location.
As an example on a standard Bushie:
The Bushmaster name
original serial number
Windham, ME
If you are an individual in another state and want to SBR the lower you will need to also engrave:
Your name or Trust
Your City and State
You can't use just the factory engraving as they are not the ones who technically manufactured the SBR.
