My trust is simply named "LastName Trust". No problems so far. I've got plenty of approved forms. Don't waste space with that "revocable living trust" crap.

Mine is (first, middle, last initial) NFA trust.
Was going to try to be creative, but simplicity won out. |

"LastName NFA Trust" is mine and it has worked out well. I have another that is "FirstName LastName Revocable Living Trust" and it is a PITA since it is so long so I got a different one.

Mine is Last Name Trust. For the guys who are using RLT instead of Revocable Living Trust, have you been receiving recent approvals? For the last several years, ATF was denying if they were using the abbreviation.

You should be able to name your trust "Fred" if you so choose. Shorter the better. |

I'm the jackass who created a trust before I realized I wanted an SBR and knew about the engraving REQ. Mine is 42 letters. Mine might be worse. I created mine for the sole purpose of NFA items. Due to me not fully understanding the implications, I had it notarized and mailed off before I realized the fact it said this trust shall be known as the "Lastname Living Trust, dated this 26th day of July, 2013". I submitted as simply "Lastname Living Trust". To top it off, there's a clause in my trust that prevents the name from being changed, to protect future trustees. My first two paper forms were approved, but my next two had error letters sent. I already had an Amendment drafted and notarized to "clarify" the name was simply Lastname Living Trust (which is actually how the shorter Certification of Trust showed it. I uploaded the Amendment to all five Pending EForms...but the first two were Disapproved anyway. I explained the situation, the Section Chief looked over the forms, trust and amendment, and went back and approved them. The next three were approved the first pass. So...lesson to all. Make sure it's a short, simple name. Then, use the full trust name on the application. |

So just to clarify, it appears the trust does not even need to say "trust". Is that correct?
Furthermore, what would prevent you from just forming a trust called "Colt Defense" and then just putting your city and state on the lower?

I would like to think as long as you had the trust with a line that said "this trust shall be known as....", you could name it what you wanted. What if your trust said "this trust shall be known as Home Town, NC", and you only engraved one line? 
Even better...since the city, state is simply where you make the firearm and doesn't have to be your home address, what if you lived in the same state (not sure of the legality of building one out of state) and traveled over to the city engraved on the firearm for final assembly?

It is now the "In God We Trust". Will look much better engraved.

I got stuck with a long named trust "First Middle Last, Suffix. Revocable Living Trust" and get it engraved above the trigger pin hole. Looks like I have a poem written on the side of the gun, but doesn't look bad since it's done very professionally.

My trust is through a dealer who had it drawn up by a local attorney. I questioned him on the name of the trust / length of the name (Full Name Revocable Living Trust I) and he said that was the way it had to be.
I naively agreed... Now that I'm several stamps in, including a couple SBR's, I realize I should have insisted on a shorter name. I also should have copied the trust and changed the name prior to my SBRs so I wouldn't have such a long name to engrave. The OCD in me wants everything engraved the same. Maybe next time... |

Question;
If I name my trust "Blah Blah City Arsenal Trust" and I make the manufacturers name on an 80% lower "Blah Blah City Arsenal Trust, Blah Blah City, State" Will the manufacturers marking suffice for the trust marking? I'm naturally cheap and only want to pay for one engraving.

...but you'll need to make sure your serial number conforms to NFA requirements and is engraved properly as to character height... To help save you some time...when you choose to SN, make sure it has at least one numeral. It can be all numbers if you want, or a combination of alphanumeric, but it cannot be all letters like a name. Everything has to be a minimum if .003" deep, while the SN has an additional requirement of a minimum of 1/16" in height. |

Mine is "FMML NFA Trust"
I have 2 middle names, so it's first, mid mid, last. No need to put "NFA" trust in there....but since my hometown name is so long, in 2 line engraving it doesn't really matter much. The trust name is still short than the city/state. |

As a maker (not a manufacturer), you engrave the city, state where it's made. Doesn't have anything to do with your hometown. If you happen to live in Winchestertonfieldville, and the next town over is Seattle, just get Seattle engraved and cross the city limit before attaching the upper to the lower for the first time.
