For those of you who have previously filed a Form - 1 for an SBR:

How difficult is it to complete and file the Form 1 for an SBR given the 'new rule' published by ATF?

How long should it take for us to fill out paperwork?

Are there any 'traps' on the form that we should know about that would keep the form from going thru?

Are there any tricks to make it easier?

TY,
Mark S

Start by making a ATF user account here

https://eforms.atf.gov/register/update-profile?isRegistration=true

you need to decide if you want to make an NFA trust, this is an excellent utility, or file individual, John Pierce does $100 Trust

his site has excellent resources

https://johnpierceesq.com/

National gun trust has good self help resources for filing, I'd suggest using there EFT e-fingerprint service

https://www.nationalguntrusts.com/products/eft-fingerprint-file-service

then you can up load your prints into your application, without having to get 2 sets of prints and mailing them to Martinsburg within 10 business days every time.

you are not allowed to make corrections once you file it runs full course you get disapproved and start over at square 1.

do not submit cartridge as caliber, 9mm is 9mm, not 9x19, you will not impress them, they will disapprove you, 9 unit of measure is mm, .300 Blackout would be .30 unit of measure inch, the barrel or receiver must be marked the exact caliber as your application .223 is .223, 5.56 is 5.56

Overall length is maximum not minimum, from butt to end of permanent barrel

if you don't know your barrel length, remove muzzle device rod the barrel to the bolt face.
this is the ATF barrel rod test for barrel length.


for the mugshot I use a selfie with a white door as a backdrop, nothing fancy.

Thanks!

if you need/want your fingerprints in digital format, send me a PM.

I can either take your fingerprints digitally and provide you the .EFT file to upload on your Form 1 /Form 4 or I can convert a paper FD258 card to digital.
