Yes you can login to the website, expand the 'My Forms -> Approved -> Form 1' on the left side and click on Form 1. A table will show that lists your approved form(s), and under the Actions column you can click on the icon to view the form in PDF. You can print from there. As far as email goes, sometimes folks don't get the email for a couple days after approved on the website, so maybe it will still arrive. Other times they get an email and no form is attached.

There is no version watermarked with "approved" or a version with a stamp on it. |

Hmm sounds like its time to click 'ask the experts' on the website. This is probably something they'll need to fix for you

Thanks,
I actually used the "Ask The Experts" email system 2 days ago with no reply. Today I emailed them directly: [email protected] And their support website: http://www.atf.gov/applications/eform/support.html |

We were just informed by the BATF and verified it through the WA Firearms licensing division that it is illegal to manufacture SBRs in Washington State. This includes form 1s, approved or not and form 2s by dealers. I hope there will be a change this legislative session, but as of now that is what the lawmakers have decided. According to the Washington licensing division the only SBR that can be legally made in Washington has to be for Military and LE Sales only. Don't shoot the messenger, it hurts everyone.

Time to file a ATF Form 5320.20 and then take the parts across the Oregon or Idaho border to "assemble"? Yep, I mailed one off 2-3 weeks ago, I hope to see it turned around soon. Regarding revoking a form 1. I don't think they can do that. The form 1 is asking permission to make/manufacture a SBR. The 5320.20 to take your components into another state is a legal work around. For what it is worth, NFA tracker dot com shows an SBR form 1 approved today via eFile. It was submitted August 15 for a WA resident. So, apparently nothing is being held up, if NFA tracker dot com is accurate. I have one submitted Aug 19, so I expect, if recent approval times are holding (16-21 days), that I'll see an approval between this Friday and Sept 16. So, I did the "Ask the Experts" from atfonline.gov/eforms, and I asked the following question: "Hello, I have an approved Form 1. Do I engrave the Name, City and State on Form 1 box 3b on the firearm or do I engrave where the actually SBR was made. For example, if approved Form 1 box 3b lists Portland, OR, and the SBR was assmbled/made in Boise, ID, what do I engrave on the SBR? Portland, OR or where it was assembled, Boise, ID?" The response that I received from Gary N.Schaible, was "The city and state will be that of the trust address, not where assembled. The name, city and state can be marked on the receiver or the barrel as long as the marking is conspicuous in either location.". So, will the 5320.20 be the form that proves that the Form 1 SBR is not "illegal" if the above "WCTLE" statement is true? |

View Quote Thank you for posting this, and yes, other than video evidence or something even more dubious, the 5320.20 would probably be the only way to prove such a thing. For me doing the 5320 thing is a no-brainer. Oregon is a stone's throw away. You guys in Seattle have more driving to do......presuming you actually do leave the state at all... In any event, a key question the "5320 plan" has been answered, so that's something. |

So far I have not received an email nor can I print a "stamped" version or an "approved" version from the efile site. So last night I emailed [email protected] and I received a couple of replies early this morning: "Our apologies, the pdf did not generate properly." "I have requested the correction to be made." An hour later I received an email titled "eForms Application Status Change Notification for Permit/Control No: 2014193xxx"" which states "This is to advise you that the status of your eForms submission with the subject Permit/Control number has changed to APPROVED" One last question. The .pdf in to this email has my approved Form 1 with the tax stamp attached to it but the watermark still says "DRAFT". Should the Stamped and Approved Form 1 still have the "Draft" Watermark on it? |

The draft watermark is a known issue. Reply back to the ask the experts or start another conversation and they'll fix it. Sometimes it can take a day or two, but they are aware of it.

Their own publications state that it is to be where the firearm is made. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-title27-vol3/pdf/CFR-2012-title27-vol3-sec479-102.pdf To comply with the CFRs, the SBR must be marked conspicuously on the frame, receiver, or barrel with the name of the trust and the city and state (two-letter postal abbreviation acceptable) where the SBR is made. At this point, I really think you could have "Christmas Island" or "Superman's Fortress of Solitude" engraved as your city/state and it wouldn't matter. If you are building a stripped lower (other) into a rifle (SBR), you are the maker and where you finish the firearm is where it is made. I interpret this as where the stock is attached. I believe there's an ATF publication related to this as they state you can have a rifle buffer tube on a rifle but no stock and it isn't a rifle until the stock is attached. |

Yeah, my guess is that when the ATF decided it was "ok" for people to assemble their SBR in another state they didn't think about this "issue". In their mind if you live in a border city (like I do, in Vancouver, WA) and you drive across the river/border to get a smith to install a bbl for you because you can't figure it out yourself, then the engraved city/state should still be "Vancouver, WA"...not "Portland, OR"...in spite of what the CFR says. Who knows. It would be pretty much impossible to prove where it was made if you had the 5320.20 filed. Could be in either location. The form 1 will have a city/state on it...the gun should probably have the same city/state engraved on it. Seems safest. |

The law is unclear if an individual can assemble a SBR within the state. Filing a 5320.20 is an alibi that the SBR was not made in WA. Possessing a SBR is legal provided you have ATF approval. |

I sent in the removal paperwork and my apartment flooded two days later. So I called the ATF and tried to get things worked out with them and they said my paper form 1 had already been approved AND my eform was in process. Hopefully I won't have to go through a bunch of achennigans with them because the same rifle is under two forms. They said they were going to cancel and refund the reform and send the paper form back. I hope they don't remove the paper form after the reform is canceled.
Submitted June 15th, check cashed June 26th, approved sometime in the last week? Paper forms are speeding up too apparently. |

So all of these approved form 1's has anyone talked to the state about how the law is written? Is there hundreds of people who violated state law?
|
|
I know exactly how the law is written. Read it forwards and backwards. Read the legislative notes. Watched the bill signing. I don't have any questions for the state, other than "are you going to break both the spirit and the text of the law as part of an anti-2A political agenda?"
Since it's doubtful that would be productive, and ATF is approving stamps, there is NO reason to ask them a damn thing. We should go about our business and let precedent be our friend. |

Is anyone doing a 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance form with their efile? If you are are you just attaching it as a pdf along with the trust docs? Thanks
