Might just be my work laptop, but when I load it up, the site just says fetching data and won't show my submitted forms.

ETA: Tried loading it on my phone too, still blank.

Contacted the ask the expert people and they are looking into my issue.

They thought it might have something to do with the forms crashing this morning, but now they aren't sure. So if you still can't see yours, you might want to contact them.

So after spending a few hours e-mailing back and forth and a few telephone calls, it's been determined that my E-form is no longer associated with my online account.

My form is submitted and still pending, but I can no longer see it in my pending forms. As such, I will not be able to check the status without calling, and the only way I'll know it's approved is via an e-mail I should receive.

If anyone else is having the issue, use the Ask the experts feature and contact them. They will do the research to make sure it's still in the system. As of now, they do not know WHY it happened.

This was my first time e-filing, and my Form 1 is stil under the "Submitted/In Process" drop down.. Not sure how long that is supposed to take, but I submitted last Sunday.

5 more just rolled in approved.

that's 6 total with 1 left to go...

If SBR form 1 approvals were on hold for wa state last week that definitely isn't the case now.. would be good to know what if any clarification the NFA branch received from WA firearms division... especially before I go out and start acquiring SBR parts...

Just forget about it and go about regular life.  If you e-filed, you'll likely see approval in mid to late September.

30 days only seems efficient since we are used to 6-12 month wait times. A month is still extremely inefficient for paperwork in the 21st century.

Question on engraving.

The ATF handbook states have it engraved with city and state of where it is made or where place of business is.  I'm guessing place of business is where your Trust is.

So, if I have a 5320.20 to take my not yet made SBR across the Columbia River to Portland, OR to make it, I can put either Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR on the rifle's engraving?
Link Posted: 8/16/2014 10:11:58 PM EDT
[#32]
You're not a business, so you would put where you actually make it. If you are making it in Portland then that is what you would engrave.

Fwiw I've decided to make mine right here in WA. I'm fine being one of an ever growing number of folks also doing this.

I'm still mixed up on the SBR process.
Who can point me to (or maybe shoot me a pm?) on how I might go about buying, ordering and making everything legal. I plan on ordering a daniel defense MK18.

I believe your actually putting down the location of the entity that's building it. Your just acting as an agent/trustee of the entity to physically  build it. So if your trust is located in Vancouver, you need to put Vancouver as opposed to somewhere else.

The WA law allows you to possess, transport, acquire or transfer an SBR in accordance with federal law.

However, "make" and "manufacture" were omitted from the legalization wording.  So you can't make your AR pistol into an SBR.

If an FFL transfers (sells) an existing SBR to you that is okay.  For example, you could have an SBR transferred to your FFL from Texas, then your FFL would do the transfer paperwork to you or some shit.

I got an approved form 1 back, so I just filed a 5320.20 for transport into Oregon (I go hiking there all the time and to family residences/property in Portland, Hillsboro, Aurora and Lincoln City).  What I will do is just stick the stock on once I get the 5320.20 and then drive back.  I don't make the SBR in Washington, I make it in Oregon and then transport it in accordance with federal law back into Washington.

But the ATF handbook/laws states:

§ 479.102
(iv) In the case of a domestically
made firearm, the city and State (or
recognized abbreviation thereof) where
you as the manufacturer maintain
your place of business, or where you, as
the maker, made the firearm


My "place of business" is where the trust is, but I'll be "making" the firearm in Portland, so technically, both can be used.

I'm getting hung up on ownership of the rifle until the paper work is approved. Once I pay for the rifle and fill out my paperwork, is it put on hold with the FFL until paperwork is approved or can I take it home? I'm new to this so please bear with my stupid questions.

Yes, the FFL keeps it in "NFA jail" until the paperwork comes back approved.

Ultimate solution: get the stamp, file the 5320, and make the SBR. Regardless of which way (making in wa or OR) the ATF says is legal in the end, THAT is the one you did. No way to prove otherwise unless the ATF is satellite tracking every person they send a stamp too... And even then they couldn't prove shit.

But a trust isn't a business right? It's a legal entity. It doesn't make money, doesn't have a tax ID, etc. I would read that section as specifically referring to manufacturing companies. And in the eyes of the ATF you also aren't an actual manufacturer, you are a maker. So the only part of that section that applies is after the 'or'.

But meh, none of this will matter anyways unless you were already in the ATF crosshairs, in which case you did something much more serious and are already in trouble.

English Pit in Vancouver is not permitting SBR as of yet.

Aren't the only ones allowed to inspect paperwork the BATFE themselves?
