if you have the short bbl in the same location as the rec. that can be construed as constructive intent.Can you legally purchase and posses (but not install) a 14" shotgun barrel and then file your ATF paperwork to convert your shotgun into an SBS? Or do you have to have your tax stamp approved before purchasing or possessing the barrel?

keep it at moms house
they got better things to do than going to every house of everybody you know looking for a bbl that may or may not existHow about if I kept it at the home of a person named in my NFA trust?
Keep it at a friends hone if you want to be extra cautious
file with the shortest possible scenario
So you're filing the form for a weapon you might not have. Stupid advice.
Sounds like you need to talk to a legal expert, (attorney). Free internet advice is probably not covered by a warrantee and usually not successful in court as meaningful. Just my two bits.
Well let me rephrase the question.
Let's say I file my Form 1 for SBS with the weapon in one configuration - (e.g. w/ a 14" barrel and collapsible stock) and receive my stamp.
If I later choose to remove the stock and install a pistol grip (and keep the 14" barrel) - do I need to file a new Form 1 and submit $200 for a new stamp, due to a change in configuration (i.e. change in OAL)?
I've never filed a Form 1 and I don't want to submit incorrect paperwork. I just want to be sure I do the right thing if I decide to reconfigure the weapon in the future.
