When a firearm changes legal ownership, state and federal laws must be followed.

In Colorado, as of July 1, placing a non-NFA firearm into a trust requires a 4473 to be filled out, and a background check to be completed, per Colorado state law.

If the only firearm involved in such a transaction is an NFA firearm, the transaction is exempt from a background check under federal regulations - just fill out 4473 but don't have to call for NICS approval, but the application of Colorado state law to such moves is still unclear. Colorado law has added a federal private-party background check requirement to firearms transactions which previously required no federal background check. The only exemption in the Colorado state law is for transactions to or between FFLs, or between immediate family members, or for firearms which are antiques or classified as curios and relics.
