I feel obligated to Form 1 my PSA GOA end the NFA lower.  It's now free, so why not?  Anyone else submitting a Form 1 for their GOA lowers this morning?

I purposely submitted two Form 1's about 12 hours a part to get an idea of how many are coming through.  Overnight we have about 30,000 submissions.  That's overnight on a night where most people are out partying and enjoying a holiday.  If I remember correctly, in 2023 there was under 300,000 for the entire year.  This is going to be insane.

Still need photo and prints I guess? Even though they have 15 copies of my prints on file.

Last time I tried to form 1 a PSA fundraiser lower I got a no reason given disapproval.

Yeah unfortunately. Just get them done digitally. Between the time and resources required for paper prints, paying for them to get done digitally was well worth it.

I had my EFT file back in about three hours a few months ago.

I’ll do mine.  I got digital prints through Silencer Shop years ago.  Can I still access those?    I’ve gotta look into that.

Crap.   I think it was so long ago, I was using my work email. I retired almost 4 years ago.  Not sure if I wrote it down somewhere.

You'll need the actual .EFT file.
Once you get one, just save to your hard drive and can use over and over.

Could be batch dumps from all the suppressor shops that have been holding them until no tax. I know I have some cans that the paperwork was being held on.

I bought a 10.5" 300BLK upper years ago when the first HPA came up. In the spirit of its intent, if the Big Beautiful Lawsuit pulls through and does the job our senate refused to I'll put it together as the realization of all my hopes from the last 10 years or so. If not, I'll keep it as a paperweight until freedom prevails and hope it still happens in my lifetime

I did all mine during the amnesty.  Back then it was a betrayal of the American patriot gun owner.

The UPS store has a PrintScan station that takes digital fingerprints. Its a similar process to rolling your fingers on the cards, it's just on a digital sensor instead of ink and paper.

PrintScan emailed me a .eft file. Here's a couple snippets from the email:

Please use the link provided below to access your EFT file. You will be required to fill out a form with information that was filled out during your appointment creation process, please use the same information so that we can verify your identity. Please note the file does not open and is not viewable. The EFT is for download only.

Please make sure you:

Do NOT download the file to your cell phone - IT WILL NOT WORK!
Do NOT open the file. It is encrypted. You will not be able to view the file.
DO make sure you download your file to a computer that you trust as soon as you access it.
DO send a copy of the EFT file to your local FFL dealer for upload.


I haven't tried to use it yet, so can't confirm if it's going to work. Hopefully someone else can chime in on their experience with the process.

There is an EFT file viewer out there, I tried it to verify my info in the file.  I don’t remember the name of it though.

I'll probably wait a few weeks, see how things go.

I did a form one on a can years ago just because I had everything to make one and didn't want to risk a constructive possession issue if anything else came up. Now I'm sitting on so many parts kits that really need sbr stamps, but if I don't stamp em, theni can keep them off paper.

I'm not really sure how I want to pursue that, just yet.

This guy didn't even drill the third hole.

How many patriots even know who he is?

I can't hate anyone who fills out the form.  But I do think there is an OK chance SCOTUS curb stomps the $0 NFA tax as not a tax, although god knows how long that will take to wind through the court.

So that's a dead end then.

They should just sell you the file for a reasonable fee, like whatever UPS charges to get it done.  

I'd pay the fee not to have to drive 2 hrs to find a UPS store, and I'd rather give my money to the gun industry.

I still have a spare fingerprint card from when I had the sheriff's office do them like 8 or 9 years ago for a paper form 4.  But you can't scan and convert these at home, can you?

I used this site.
https://www.eftcreator.com/

I already had lots of copies of my prints since my work did them so I just scanned my card in and uploaded it to them.
Had it pretty quick and have already used it many times.

I’m gonna need to SBR my stribog.  Get rid of the stupid brace and while I’m actually paying attention to it, get short barrel so the suppressor lines up with the hand guard.
