Free SBR stamp? (Page 5 of 19)

As a WAG I would say you get a nice letter from the atf telling you what your options are. 1 pay $200 and receive a amended form 1 with stamp. 2 convert to a non nfa status, be it pistol or rifle. 3 destroy said firearm or give it to police. They will have confused the issue so much it will be next to impossible to figure out what is legal. Oh, removing the form 1’s won’t do squat. You’re still on the books, just like people who have had machine guns and later sold them. |

They are not getting any of my money. SAF and GOA will get that money instead. |

I don't think they'll ask anyone to pay the $200 retroactively since that's a lot of work for them and they don't need that money (nor would ATF receive it, since it goes into Treasury general fund). It's really not about the money anyway. It's about power and control. I'd be more concerned they'd just invalidate all the registrations and tell you to do a new (paid) F1 if you still want a registered SBR, with engraving and all the normal requirements. I've been reading everything I can find on this and nobody knows what they'll do in that scenario. It would suck to send them all that data and then NOT have a legal SBR.  My guess is they'd do nothing, and everyone who registered for free will just keep their free SBR registrations. |

If the owner sends a letter stating something has been permanently returned to a Title I configuration, they just note that in the computer and now that owner's registration is useless. I would never do that unless I had sold/transferred something (as a Title I firearm) or was definitely about to do so. The only benefit is that it won't cause a problem if a subsequent owner tries to NFA register that same firearm later (since they'll know you're not expected to still have it). |

I'd say they will have to be engraved because that and the $200 stamp are the only difference now between a paid form 1 and the brace form1 |

These were registered tax exempt. The Police and government don't get tax stamps on their F4s either. They are still registered and transferrable. |

I'm still not sure how I feel about this. If I understand this correctly, if someone had a braced pistol (all owned as of Summer of 2022) they would be GTG to submit the free form. Say they had a stripped AR lower (owned as of 2013) and a short barreled upper and a brace they hadn't put together yet, they could not take advantage of the freebie conditional registration? If the lower had been configured with short barrel and brace prior to Jan. 31st 2023, they could do the free registration. |

If you owned all the components, you'd be good to file the free form if you desired. Constructive possession works both ways. |

The answer is virtually no one I did. When it came out that the pistols had to be in the trust prior to 1-31-23 to be eligible for the free registration, my trust attorney created an amendment and I had it notorized on 1-30-23 at the last minute. |

Point taken, that would be a pain in the ass. There’s two places near me that do it, walk in and done in 10 min. |

I filed four forms on the same day, 2/28. One was approved on 2/20. Mailed all the prints to WV two days later, each form in a separate envelope. Is there any rhyme or reason to how these are processed? |

Is there any rhyme or reason to how these are processed? My last submittal is approved and one of my first few is approved. Seems to be pretty random and many different people signing the forms. |

I got the one I sent with EFT… came back in 45 days. But I did 5 others with a set of ink prints. All submitted the same night. Three of them came back. First started at 45 days, another a few days after… third like 10ish days after the first came back. Annoying that I still have two MIA. Looked at the website… those two are still in submitted/in progress. Everything else is in approved. Only thing I can come up with, both are Anderson lowers, same model but different calibers.  |

Took them 58 days to approve my Anderson lower with 300BO caliber. Paper prints. Were yours sold as complete pistols or just lowers? |

I’m at 72 days… They both were stripped uppers, built by myself. The first one that came back was a PSA AR, also built by me. Then the AK-P, then M&P15-22 Pistol, with the PTR 9CT bringing up the rear (EFT a month later than the others). Just stupid how it is spread out like that. |

My truck gun just came back… Anderson 5.56mm 11.5” AR. Just like the other ones, but this one had a little more on the conditions: “NAME OF MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ANDERSON MANUFACTURING; Pursuant to ATF Final Rule 2021R-08F.” Why put that first part? I had it as the original manufacturer, and in description said it was a previously owned braced pistol, with Anderson’s marking/location. Figured that was clear in the rule. First examiner that I could read his name; Robert Sigon. Thank you, Robert! |

Called them today to find out status, they pretty much have no idea.....what a giant cluster fuck over there. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD get rid of them....these people are useless. 3 months and no reason why it should be this long. Prints received on 1/19. No wonder why people hate this....we have to put up with these turtles and on top, pay them 200$. I do not give a flying fugg, but these people will never, NEVER get a dime from me. Not 1 cent..... |

Originally Posted By vellnueve: Did you write out the full name of the manufacturer or abbreviate it in some way Nope... when you put it in the fillable fields, it populates itself. Confirmed it was correct and same for the "model." I literally wrote receiver markings... "manufacture, city, state" as on the receiver. And then included a shot of that same marking. |

It’s meant to be slow by design. I’m curious how many are doing the brace amnesty thing? Are there really millions of people registering them? Same goes for form 4’s with suppressors. Are there really THAT many people buying these things? I’m the only one out of every body I know that is into this shit. I find it hard to believe the influx is soo overwhelming that it takes nearly a F’n year to process unless it’s on purpose. |
