NFA items and moving from one state to another

[JohnnyEgo]

You don't make sudden moves between states.

In-state moves do not require the 5320 to be completed prior to the move, although it is still a good idea to do so.

In the best of times, my 5320s took two weeks to process. Nowadays, the last one I filed took a little over 3 weeks to be processed and returned to me.

Moving with a Trust is no different then moving without one. You fill out the 5320s and wait for the ATF to send them back to you. Then you move the guns.

What I'm thinking is if I put a close friend on the trust as a Trustee and I should happen to move to a non NFA friendly state I can leave the items with him and try to sell them or just leave them there until I get a chance to move to another NFA friendly state and at that point update to my new residence in said NFA friendly state.

5320 is a less than 30 day turnaround, faster if you ask nicely and fax in.

Thanks again for the info guys, I'm still learning a lot and just want to make sure before I make the investment that I'm not doing something that's going to put me in a position to be SOL and have to surrender it later.

This, i had a 14 business day turn around,of course i planned ahead, i was told [at that time] 2 weeks is more than enough time. It was for a shoot out of state.

Two months for me about half a year ago.

Clearly you aren't in the military.... I got PCS orders to move from Colorado to California and my "Report no later than" date was 4 days after I got my orders. Got screwed out of about 2 months of rent, and had to find someplace to live in California real quick like.

You are right. I am not in the military. I was honorably discharged from it after six years of active duty service.

My comment wasn't that people don't move on short notice in real life. My comment is that you don't move suddenly between states with your NFA weapons, because you have to wait for the 5320 to come back. Might be that my post wasn't clear, or it might be that your reading comprehension is off. Either way, thank you for your service.

Well thanks for your 6 years of honorable service. Sorry for misunderstanding your post.
