Your approved Form 1 shows proof of registration. The conditions are why the tax was waved. As mentioned, when those semi-auto shotguns were magically turned into DDs, no stamps were issued. What makes these Form 1s any different? SBRs on NFA registry. |

There is technically no stamp with e file either. An image of one I guess. |

"You got a stamp for that?" "I'm a stamp collector. Checkout my 2-stamp Tuesday combo." "Don't worry, we've got stamps for all this." Nobody really ever calls it "registration". It's kind of the NFA equivalent of calling every magazine a clip, I guess, except usually they really do have a stamp.

But yet we went through the same process as a stamp because the government told us we needed to, so fixing it in our favor is their problem no matter what the courts say about their rule. |

What would be so hard about contacting everyone that has FreeBR'd? They have your physical and email address. As for historical precedent, no. But has the ATF offered a Forbearance (not an amnesty) before? Has the ATF ever created a rule they tried to treat like law, only to have that rule (potentially) found illegal AND unconstitutional? The ONLY reason they offered FreeBR's is because of the rule they created. I have no clue how what they will do with this cluster fudge they created, neither does anyone else. |

Ask debt collectors how easy it is to track down and contact/serve people you have the address for. And they are way more competent than the atf. People move, want to be left alone, don't answer the door... Email is usually not acceptable as legally served notice. |

I don't know what word you want to use, but legally owned semi-auto shotguns were found to be DD at one point... which ATF had the owners do a similar Form 1 (paper, as the eForms were not a thing), making them DDs. Original markings were kept, no stamp/tax collected. |

People move, want to be left alone, don't answer the door... Email is usually not acceptable as legally served notice. When you found out your braced pistol was actually an illegal SBR, did the ATF knock on your door to serve you notice? When I found out my originally legal braced pistol turned illegal SBR is now a legal braced pistol, no one knocked on my door to update me. |

Original markings were kept, no stamp/tax collected. Forbearance is the word repeatedly used in the this rule. As for the Streetsweepers, the big difference here is that this went to court, and the ATF is currently losing. Again, I have no clue as to what will happen, especially if/when the rule is found both illegal (procedural) and unconstitutional. Seems like it could easily go either way. |

Also note that it is mentioned about the $200 tax/stamp being affixed, it starts with “if the making is taxable.” https://i.imgur.com/wVnbKdJ.jpeg Or §479.71, which clearly says that proof of registration is the approved Form 1. Doesn’t say a word about stamp, being not all approvals result in stamps being issued. So, instead of telling us how “right” you are… how about you prove it. Chill out dude. Everything is my fucking opinion at this point because we've never been down this path before. What yu posted is the rules as they pertain to the process prior to this forbearance/amnesty thing, which doesn't exactly follow those rules. Nothing is going to be "proved" until it's over. You're no more a lawyer than I am and if my opinion bothers you so much, then scroll the fuck on by. Patiently waiting for the final outcome, but to be sure IF we're required to reconfig back to pistol, I'll be the first to tell you "told you so." If not, then fucking great. I'll have a free non-engraved SBR. |

How does that work when transfered later?- does the new owner still have to engrave? I think the answer is no, since it's about who "made" it, not who owns it. Curious if the "with conditions" line transfers to the new owners papers. |

The with conditions remarks were the lack of tax, 922r. If it transfers under a form 4 a tax will be paid and no remarks are needed. I believe some members here already did the freebr then transferred to a trust by form 4. |

I'm not sure if this has been posted here but I sent in two of these "special" form 1's separated by a few days. The first one was approved after several months, but still crickets on the second. I called the NFA Branch last week and they told me that all pending "special" form 1's are pending resolution of current court cases. |

I haven’t see anyone get an approval since the injunction was issued. People have called atf and were told they are on hold. Maybe someone picked up from the wrong pile. |

Nope. I had to submit my form 1 on paper last June as I had a naming issue on my eform and it wasn’t sent back until after the amnesty period ended. It was received the third week of June and haven’t had any movement on it. I have called once and they confirmed receipt and that it is pending, but I have zero visibility in when or if it gets approved until it comes in the mail. Let’s hope they started approving them again. This is the first I had heard since the injunction started. Originally Posted By TripleJ: Anyone else get an approval on an amnesty Form 1 lately? |

Originally Posted By TripleJ: I had a similar scenario where I had to resubmit in paper after the period had ended. Still hoping that it will be approved. Same here |

People love to argue, this post is exactly right. Stop speculating, it's a waste of time and pages in this thread. |

I agree, if you have an approved form 1 it’s done, but I don’t think they can or will approve what is pending. But who knows about the fatf. I’m sure they will try again but the problem is the long paper trail they have from prior approvals. |
