SBR procedure overview?

[RCCrawler]

The Denver branch is LE, not technical side of things. While they can render a "guess" as you found out they are not savvy on NFA items. Unless you're in a sting.
If it's not from the tech branch back east, in writing, don't base what you do, on that answer.

Which is why I called the tech branch and they confirmed what the Denver branch told me.

If you put down more than one caliber on your Form 1, the BATFE will not approve your form.

This must be a new thing as mine lists .223/9mm and went through just fine...

OK, so bumping up an old thread, I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. I am making my C39 pistol into an SBR and have a trust setup. I fill out the form 1 with all the info about my trust and the gun, do I need to have it engraved with my trust name and city prior to sending the form or can that be done while I am waiting for approval? Since I have a trust and would send a copy of it, will I need my pic and prints to go along with the form 1?

Personally, I waited until my eform 1 was approved and in hand before I had mine engraved. I would hate to have it engraved prior and then get some fluke issue from the ATF about my paperwork and trust name. If you are submitting your form 1 as a trust, eform I presume, then you do not need pictures or finger prints. Complete the eform 1 and upload a copy of your trust, that is it. Oh, and pay your $200 and wait a month too.

Day 36 today for me. HURRY UP!

No finger prints required with the trust route. I always wait to engrave mine as well. People do it both ways though. I prefer to wait just in case something went wrong. Not that it would matter either way but would rather not have a non-NFA weapon with my trust engraved on it.

MAKE SURE your Trust is 3MB or less. I'll echo the others and say wait to engrave. Some say do it first. Don't forget your schedule of assets, too. BUT do not list the C39.

Why don't you list the C39? Wouldn't the trust have to own it before it could make it into a SBR?

[mtnrider]

Trust does not have to own it prior. Only after the SBR is made. I only list the item in schedule "A" After approval.

Thank you. It's an oft debated topic, some do some don't. IF it's not approved, it's Not owned by the trust
