    Yet another trust question

    Just a quick reply: As someone else has already posted, the ATF is absolutely aware that you can add trustees after the approval of a tax stamp, and that those folks do not have to be fingerprinted or photographed. They actually solicited public comment during the 41F comment process regarding...

    Yet another trust question

    If you have trustees who don't want to submit fingerprints and photographs, then as mentioned, you have two main options: 1. Create a new trust with a (slightly) different name and list yourself as the only trustee. Get the new stamp approved, then add everyone else. 2. Remove the other...

    Post Rule Change - Must All Trustees Submit Fingerprints?

    Yes, if you do nothing to your trust after July 2016, you don't have to submit fingerprints or photographs to the ATF for anyone, ever. You can also add trustees to your trust after July 2016 without submitting fingerprints or photographs for them or for yourself, as long as all you're doing is...

    Post Rule Change - Must All Trustees Submit Fingerprints?

    Yes, co-trustees must submit fingerprints. Anyone who can legally possess the trust's NFA firearms at the time of tax stamp application must submit fingerprints and photographs and a responsible person questionnaire. Successor trustees--folks who only become trustees once you pass away--do not...

    Please Help Me Sort This Out

    Apparently my murder analogy was ill-conceived and based far too much on Kentucky law, which clearly isn't universal. So let's try this another way. On one side of this debate, you have folks that say "a brace is a brace" and that nowhere in the law has the ATF ever before made a ruling that a...

    Please Help Me Sort This Out

    Saw-Bones: here's an analogy that might help, since you were a cop. (This example is based on Kentucky law, but it's probably fairly universal.) Murder is illegal, right? There's a statute that says so, and we all have a pretty good idea of what constitutes murder. You shoot someone on...

    Just Suppos'in

    Sounds similar to some problems I had with a .300 BLK barrel that I had made. It was a 6.5" barrel with what I later discovered to be an incorrectly spec'd gas port. Basically it was a shorter-than-pistol-length gas system and a ridiculously short dwell time because there was only about an...

    New Form 4 (5320.4) and new Form 5320.23 questions.

    Give them a call at the NFA Branch in West Virginia and ask. Let me know what they say. I'm curious. Aaron

    NFA Items and Inheritance -- i.e: What to do with grandpa's Machine Gun

    For what it's worth, I had a recent conversation with an ATF bureaucrat when I called up inquiring about a client who had possession of a silencer originally owned by his father-in-law. No proper paperwork had been done when the father-in-law passed, and my client didn't take possession until...

    Post 41f paperwork

    The ATF has issued new forms. You MUST use the new forms. All older versions of the Form 1 and Form 4 are obsolete. Take a read here: https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/final-rule-41f-background-checks-responsible-persons-effective-july-13 Then scroll down until you get to the new...

    Trust question

    He's wrong. You send a COPY of the trust. NEVER send the original. And there's absolutely no reason to wait to send off new forms. He's wrong about that too. Tell him an experienced NFA lawyer said so. He can e-mail me if he still doesn't believe you. Aaron

    Question about converting AR postol lower to SBR LATER

    I have nothing High Road to say about that. Amazing. Just amazing. Aaron

    Question about converting AR postol lower to SBR LATER

    Just to second what's been said, your dealer is 100% wrong. First, if he's marking "pistol" on a 4473 for a stripped receiver, the ATF isn't going to be happy with him. That's not what dealers are instructed to do when transferring stripped lower receivers. It's a receiver, not a pistol or...

    Solvent Trap to Supressor Questions

    This is excellent information. For the "home machinist," let me say that I drilled out the titanium end cap for a solvent trap suppressor. I used a Harbor Freight drill press, set on some bricks in the yard, with a garden hose pouring water over the work piece at a constant rate. It kept the...

    Questions about New NFA requirements

    Ah, but since you have a tax stamp, it can be configured as a "pistol" and still legally be an SBR. It's still a weapon made from a rifle that's less than 26" overall, even without the buttstock attached. Once you've got the stamp, you can basically configure it as anything you want. If it's...

    Shotgun?

    It's 12 inches. The mag tube on the H&R base shotgun was long enough that I had to chop down no matter what length I was going. So I chopped the mag tube so that it was even with the end of the barrel with the threaded cap installed. Here's a post where I described the whole build process...

    If NFA Items Are Stolen...

    That is not correct. There is no law in Kentucky that requires you to report a stolen firearm. As far as I know, only 10 states and the District of Columbia require you by law to report lost or stolen firearms: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland (handguns and...

    Shotgun?

    That top pump is mine. It's an H&R/NEF Pardner Pump 12 gauge. Remington clone. Magpul furniture bolts right on. The magazine tube is soldered in place, and had to be shortened to go that short on the barrel. I used a dremel and a flux-core welder, then refinished with cold blue. Not too...

    USPS at their finest!

    No. We are not. It's all very clever of you to blame the big bad government for this screwup, but... 1) The United States Postal Service is self-funded. Your tax dollars don't go to support the USPS. They fund themselves entirely off what they charge for their services. In that sense, it's...

    New .300 Blackout build

    Welcome! Nice rifle! Keep the old 5.56 barrel if you want, but the NFA rules don't require it. What the ATF wants (but the law doesn't require) is that if you change calibers, you either keep the parts for the original configuration or you notify them of the new "permanent" configuration by...
