    So how do you explain buying a suppressor? Or building one? You are transferring it to the trust via the ATF. It is not necessary for the trust to own it first. Which is impossible in most cases.

    Form 1 is making and registering a NFA item. A Form 4 transfers an already existing NFA registered item.

    When a Trust makes and registers a NFA item from scratch, silencer or SBR, using a Form 1, the Trust is making and registering a NFA item that did not exist before. The Trust has to have the approved Form 1 in hand before it cuts metal. A regular non-NFA Title 1 gun must be owned by the Trust when it makes the SBR from a regular Title 1 gun.

    You have to have an approved Form 1 for the Trust before cutting metal if the Trust is using a Form 1 to make and register a SBR from a 80% lower receiver. The Trust should own the lower receiver when it makes and registers a SBR made from a Colt lower receiver. The Trust can own the non-NFA lower. The Trust can't put a short upper on the lower until they have an approved Form 1 in hand.

    A Trust can't possess an already registered NFA item until the transfer to the Trust is approved through a Form 4 transfer. For example, a Gemtec suppressor is already a NFA registered item. You are transferring, not making and registering, a registered silencer to the Trust.

    I hope this helps.
