I'm just a regular guy who isn't looking to become a dealer or do anything out of the ordinary. However, I also understand that you don't have a problem until you have one and, like most situations involving firearms, the situation will likely be serious. In the vein of an ounce of prevention, etc, etc. here are my questions:

1. If you have one, why did you get it?
2. Who did you use to set it up?
3. Has anyone used the online services to set one up and what was their experience?
4. What lesson(s) did you learn and what advice can you give to do/not do?
5. What did it cost and do you consider the cost reasonable for what you got?

Thanks!
There are no "fees' you 'll avoid paying. Having a trust allows others on the trust to be in possession of NFA items, without you being present. I want to borrow one of your Suppressors. On the trust No Problem. Be put on the trust, No Problem. You don't have a trust / Filed as an individual. PROBLEM.

If you're concerned about who gets what when you die. That's No problem without a trust. If they're in the will NFA items can be transferred to family member via a Form 5

Now when 41 takes effect You will need to provide fingerprint card and Photo (passport size) with each application.

There's rumor floating around the ATF is going to squash e-file form 1's after 7/16. Forcing ALL applications to be paper filed AND provide FP card & photo with each application. Unlike the first revision where prints & photo needed to be on file and be valid for a 2 year period.
