Just received my approval for a SBS form 1 I just noticed the serial number is off by one digit with the actual serial number on the receiver.
How do I go about fixing it do I need to resubmit or can I e mail the ATF?
Thanks

Maybe email the ATF and ask them if you need to resubmit?

I  submitted the question to ask the experts on ATF web site they said to log on void it and start over.

I would build it, and then tell the AFT to fix their system.

No thanks. I would not recommend that this be done. The serial number is what identifies the class III item. One digit off is still the wrong serial number.

Agreed I all ready voided on E forms and resubmitted it was actually my error but what I don’t  understand is why they didn’t catch it I submitted a pic also.

Well, why didn't YOU catch it?

Impossible! They have testified repeatedly in court that the NFRTR is 100% accurate.

Can you smell the sarcasm?

Well, if the submitter puts the wrong serial number on the form, and it gets approved with that wrong serial number, how is that the ATF’s fault?

Void it and resubmit. It's 100% your fault.

Engrave the correct serial number on your gun and build away.  If you dont want to use a new serial number and have a duplicate, then void the form and file with the serial thats already on it.
