With all the happenings about the pistol brace and SBR issues that are currently happening, would you submit a eForm 1 for a rifle right now, our would you wait and see what happens next?

I don't think SBRs will be dropped from the NFA as some are (wishfully?) thinking, so other than heightened ATF workload, it seems now is as good a time as any.

The time is going to pass either way, don’t waste it not waiting on a stamp. I would (and did) go ahead and submit paid forms if you have guns to SBR/SBS/Etc.

No reason not to file now. If you wait to file you'll still end up waiting when you eventually get around to it.

What issues? What do you think will happen next? What does the pistol brace amnesty crap have to do with you SBRing a rifle? Who is saying SBRs will be dropped from the NFA?

I've been waiting since mid January for two paid Form 1s. Submit your paperwork.

With a Form 1 you have 3 years from date tax is paid to request a refund if item doesn’t get built. I know people sitting on rainy-day, unbuilt approved Form 1s from before the 2016 trust responsible person requirements change.

There's no reason other than money not to put in for a stamp as soon as you see a potential SBR build. I’ll even do a paper form while I wait for sales on barrel, muzzle device, trigger.  I like a real stamp and sometimes new info, alternatives, options, comes up before I have a firm decision and approval so the wait isn’t a driver.  SBR descriptions are easily updated on modular guns if necessary. For something like a bolt action or a pressed-in-barrel design is where decisiveness is more critical.

If you want a registered SBR, file the paperwork.

Wait now or wait later.  How soon do you want it is the question to ask yourself.

This! ^^^

I submitted mine nearly a month ago. The way I looked at it, after the TX injunction didn't happen, I will register my braced Rattler as an SBR and make it a real SBR. Fuck them. Two can play at this game!

@eracer

What kind of documentation is the ATF looking for to show my trust owned the weapon I'm wishing to SBR by the time the rule was announced? The trust only has two responsible parties my brother and myself.

I gave them a copy of the trust, and they want proof that the braced pistol was transferred to trust prior to the date the final rule was enacted.  I gave them a copy of the Form A dated January 18 (signed and witnessed.)

Here's a better explanation: https://www.guntrustlawyer.com/atf-final-rule-on-stabilizing-braces-and-your-gun-trust/#:~:text=Answer%3A%20In%20short%2C%20a%20trust,is%20published%20in%20the%20Federal


The new trust Rule 41F has a lot of its own requirements for responsible parties.  I'm probably going to be denied, because I only documented myself (face photo, ID) and the rule wants docs for all responsible parties.  Probably should have just done the application as an individual.  Oh well...

https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/final-rule-41f-background-checks-responsible-persons-effective-july-13

Fingerprints (paper or EFT) need to be submitted within 10 days of E-filing the Form 1.  See Chapter 3.  https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/docs/undefined/eformone-externalguidancewithqapdf/download

I tried to submit the EFT file with the Form 1 E-file, but it wouldn't let me.
As usual, this whole thing is a clusterf**k

Remove all RPs. Submit with just you. Add your RPs back. Rinse/repeat as needed for future purchases.

The eft has to be uploaded and verified while doing the Eform, not after the fact. Were you getting error messages? Paper cards can be mailed after the fact.

It is a hit and miss when any paperwork is released from ATFE.

You may be lucky or wait a while.

I am waiting for my can. So, it is not like I am going anywhere.

When was the last time the government rescinded a tax? I’m surprised they haven’t amended the Act to adjust for inflation. $200 in 1934 is $4,622.86 today.
