where and how does one get the form(s) for this? Is this form the same as for suppressors? Can more then one "transaction" be done on this form? Forgive me, This is new territory for me. Also, I am told that for one suppressor the cost is $200:00 and for multi suppressors done with in one year it is $500:00 no matter how many are done, Is this correct? How much does the SBR part of this process cost?
Form 1 can be found at
https://www.atf.gov/firearms/firearms-forms You want
ATF 5320.1 if you want to "make" a SBR, SBS, or suppressor.
In Portland it's Bye Engraving. They do a lot of them and you can watch while they do the work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Bye doesn't have a FFL, so you actually need to stay there while they engrave a firearm.
Can I use an ampersand in a trust name:
K&H Arms Trust
City, Washington
Or would I have to spell out and? ...details...
You have to engrave
exactly as it is titled on the trust. The only thing that can be abbreviated is the state name using what the USPS uses.
That I don't need, I struggle to keep my self in ammo as it is. Thats all I need, 30 rounds gone in 5 seconds. I would need deep pockets to afford a full-auto habit.
Well, you don't do a mag dump every time you shoot. When I go to shoot, I load my mags before I leave the house and that limits how much ammo I go thru. Even then, I'm always looking for a deal on 9mm and buy it by the case.
I recall hearing from previous ATF rulings that you only had to engrave an SBR if you planned on selling it, anyone know if this is true? If I wanted to SBR my Action Arms UZI I wouldn't want to ruin the value by engraving my name on it
Pretty sure that when you Form 1 a SBR, you have to engrave it no matter what. If you want to SBR your IMI Uzi, then engrave the 10" barrel you'll buy. That's how most Uzi owners do it. No way would I engrave, or cut, the original barrel with the matching serial number.
Off topic... I've been hearing a lot about trusts on this Forum... what is up with trusts and firearms?
Trusts, like corporations, are "legal entities" and thus can own stuff, like class 3 toys. The 2 main reasons people use trusts as a vehicle to own NFA items are (1) they don't require CLEO sign off like individuals need and (2) others on the trust as trustees can be in possession of the NFA items without you needing to be present. Individuals need to be "in control" of the items. That means you have to be present if you want to share.
The upcoming rule change (July 13) will eliminate the CLEO sign off requirement and will require all the people listed on the trust to have prints, photos, and background checks just like individuals have to do now.
