He said you can use the serial number of the gun as the SBR number on the paper work and or get another number but that number has to be engraved on the serialized part of the gun. So I don't know how sig got away with serializing there uppers on the 556 swat pistol and not the lower with trigger group in it but they did.
The 556 SWAT pistol was SIG's attempt to recreate the 550 series of firearms, 550, 551 and 552. Since the original SIG 550 series of guns were manufactured in Switzerland, where they traditionally serialized the part that was the firing mechanism (ie: part attached to the barrel that makes a cartridge go bang, think bolt action rifles). So when they introduced the SWAT 556, even though manufactured in the US, they continued with that tradition. They realized their error in selling to the American market and came out with the 556xi that had changeable barrels but they discontinued the 556xi series in 2017 due to lack of sales.
