The NFA branch just sent a form 4 back, with an error letter requesting I remove the attached photographs because the transfer is through an LLC.

Seriously, WTF?

I'm hoping that BATFE letter at home is a stamp, not an error letter.

We'll see in about six hours.

(Form 1 that went pending Jan 24)

My dealer got an error letter back on my 9mm suppressor last week because he put my name, and "trustee" under the name of my trust. They wanted my name removed. Go figure.

Steve,

Did you send a picture of your LLC or of you?

Just Sayin!

That's ok, I got an error letter today saying my CLEO certification was incomplete. I was fully expecting this, because right after I dropped in the mail box, I remembered that I hadn't written my name in the CLEO certification area. (My former CLEO didn't want anything written in his area, but wouldn't write your name there. So, you had to wait until he returned the form and fill it in yourself. I've gotten into the habit of not writting my name there before giving to the sheriff and simply forgot to write it there before mailing the form.)

So, I get the error letter with a single photocopy of the front page of one of my Form 1's. That's right, a single photocopy of the front page. How the fuck am I supposed to fix the error if you don't send me the forms with the errors, you fucking idiots? So, I get to call Martinsburg tomorrow and ask them to send me the forms, in order to fix them. Had they sent the proper forms, I could have mailed them tonight and they'd have them back Tuesday. With the holiday, they'd probably mail them back the following week, and I'd have my stamp by the end of the second week of July. Now, it's going to take at least another week or two waiting for them to mail the correct forms to me.

The customer attached his photos, when he mailed the forms in.

Mine was approved, six months mailbox to mailbox.
Looks like I did my first one right

Were they nudes?
They could explain why they didn't want them.

Couldn't they just remove the pictures themselves, and stand them back with the stamp?

Just some random ideas...

Put 16+ inch barrels on them, thus removing them from the purview of the NFA until you get things straighted out.

Store the lowers in a safe deposit box until you get things straighted out.

I assume you have checked the Form 1/4 against the gun and against the 5320.20 and they match. Send a copy of the Form 1/4 with the 5320.20. The error may be in the registry. Send a picture of the serial number if you think that may be the case. Send a cover letter explaining that "time is of the essence."

You sent separate 5320.20s, ask her to approve the ones that are not in question and get those out of gun jail. That may reduce the confusion in Martinsburg and reduce the amount of new 16 in uppers you need to buy.
