First off I'll say I tried skimming the threads in this forum and none jumped out at me in the stickies or the others I saw that dealt with this. But if there is a thread that lays it out specifically, please hotlink it. I've been thinking about going the SBR/SBS route for several of my guns since it's now free and who knows what the next set of the 3 branches will do to the cost and process of stamps. I already have my prints digitized/EFT'd or whatever it's called. Also have an eForms account. Have gone through the process several times for AOW and silencers. But never did a form on my own. What all do I need to do in the way of websites, forms, etc. to get an SBS/SBR stamp without paying a website or dealer? Thanks!

| Literally that easy. You'll struggle a bit going through the process the first time as far as actually entering the info the way they want it, but you'll get through. I recommend starting with something like a SBR AR for the first form 1 you try to put paperwork in for. Less stumbling blocks there. |

Everything you need to know to submit the eform 1 yourself is in this video. Watch it in its entirety to get an understanding of it, then go thru step by step while hitting pause and play. National Gun Trusts eform 1 How To Guide Vid Also, they'll ask you to submit photos of markings on the gun. It is not required, even the serial number. I never submit pics because I feel like you're just potentially giving them bullets to shoot you with if they want to get technical on the details. But you do have to submit a headshot. Make sure it's against a light, neutral covered background and you fully capture your head to the top of your shoulders. |

You’ll need a passport style photo, plus your eft, and some basic info about the firearm. It’s just clicking some buttons and typing some stuff in on the eForms site. It took me longer to order pizza online the other night than it does for me to do eForm 1s. If you’re submitting it as a trust or other non-individual category. You’ll need to complete your own .23 and upload it while submitting your form 1. The item will have to be engraved with maker’s markings before it’s assembled into an NFA configuration. They’ve proposed changing that, by the time your form is approved maybe they’ll be a final determination/date that will take effect and you can decide on getting it engraved and assembled right away, or waiting till after the new rule and then assembling it. |

So I can just upload the pic, eft, and gun info and submit for a stamp? Then just wait for the rule to change and assemble without engraving? If so, I'll go that route to save the hassle and expense.

Thanks Short of them specifically stating something regarding engravings on pending/recently approved forms, correct. It only needs to be engraved before it’s initially assembled in NFA configuration. Watch any walkthrough for a better detailed step by step. But yes, photo, prints, firearms details is what you’ll need. |

Even that engraving condition means nothing. It says to engrave in accordance with the CFR. If the CFR is changed to credit the manufacturers markings and no additional engraving is required, then not engraving is in accordance with the CFR, and therefore in accordance with the condition. They seem to have stopped adding that condition to any recent approvals anyway. |
