no he has his wife on his living will and she can take them out when ever legally. I just txted him and he said basically its like a trust but easier.

Not what's on the will, what's on the Form 4. His name, correct?

really damn... So I guess I gotta choose a different graduation present. I own a handgun that I bought from a private party. Assuming you have go through a class 3 dealer you cant buy a nfa item privately with out the 21 thing come up.

You can do a individual to individual transfer if it doesn't cross state lines. Or individual to legal entity if you go that way. If you do a bunch of talking around you may find someone that has one they will part with.

Happy Hunting.

Start a trust, put you and your dad on it, your dad buys the can (as an officer of the trust), you get to play. Done.

Only way to go. You might end up really hooking your dad into this gun game. Shooting with a suppressor just puts a smile on your face...

Both the "living will" folks really need to call the ATF and/or get another legal opinion. The entity on the Form 4 is the only "thing" that can legally possess the NFA item. If a person is listed, only that person can legally possess the item, living will or no living will. If it's a trust, all people in the trust can possess the item.

that's what i was planing on doing using a living will so that way when i go into military my dad can legally keep it.

A "living will" is the term usually used to describe a document that informs people of the person's wishes regarding medical treatment. It isn't a document that creates an independant entity capable of owning NFA items.

I'd really like to know what the OP and his friend think a "living will" is.

You don't have to be 21 to buy NFA. You have to be 21 to buy anything but a rifle or shotgun from an FFL. Instate private purchase of NFA or handguns is perfectly legal at 18.
