Looking at making an SBR out of an extra PSA lower I have.

Filling out a Form 1 and found PSA PA-15 listed within the ATF directory. Also found PA-15 Multi.

What should I select for model? PA-15, PA 15, PA-15 Multi?

For caliber, should I put down Multi or 5.56mm?

Trying to avoid any rejections. So far my other Form 1s have not had any issues, going through a trust, just took about 60 days from submission to approval.

For caliber you put the caliber you are building.  5.56, 300blk, etc.

Use EXACTLY what is on the receiver PA-15, not PA-15 multi

The eforms system includes incorrect models due to users creating them.

These.

Model = "PA-15"

Caliber = whatever it will actually be chambered in.

I'll be the odd man out. I had a PA-15 Multi approved 2 months ago. I also forgot to put down my engraving info. It was approved with no conditions.

The PA-15 Multi was in the drop down window for model, so I used it.

After it was submitted I read on here how guys had been getting disapprovals using Multi. I may have just been lucky with the right examiner. I put 5.56 as caliber and my barrel length in the right spots.

YMMV.

I never put down my engraving info.  Always leave it blank and have never had an issue.

Do not put Multi.  Select a specific caliber.  They recently have gotten nit picky on little things.  Pretty sure that you can't select anything different for reason to make the firearm now.

The model is PA-15.
Manufacturers are required to engrave the caliber. Many now just put "Multi" as you can make 300BLK, 22LR, etc out of a standard AR lower.
ATF will not accept MULTI as the caliber on a Form 1 so enter the actual caliber you are building, i.e. 5.56mm in that field

I just had a form 1 approved this week doing exactly this.

When I did mine I used PA-15, just like that.
