Quoted: There are also MGs out there still on a Form 1.
Your assertion about requiring a Form 4 to prove something is in the registry is dead wrong.

a form 1 is a application to make and register a firearm. What do you mean there are MG's on a form 1?
and ??? to the red part

Repub18,
You are in fact dead wrong.
You assumed a form 4 was used to prove the leaglity of an NFA firearm whether it was made by an individual or purchased as a ready made NFA firearm. You assume wrong. A form 4 will NOT be used if you are the maker, a form 4 will only come into play if a ready made NFA firearm is purchased. For example if someone made an MG on a form 1 in 1983, and they still own that NFA firearm, then it will still have a stamped and approved form 1 kept by it's owner and maker, that will be his proof that it is legal, and he could well keep a copy in the pistol grip.
You can open mouth and insert foot now.
When you make an NFA firearm such as an SBR a form 1 is what is sent, approved and stamped, and then the
SAME form 1 you sent is what you get back. In my case it was an SBR. This form 1 is
ALL YOU HAVE to prove your SBR, Suppressor or AOW (that you made) is legal. I have multiple copies, I keep one form 1 copy with the SBR at all times, whether in the safe, in it's case, or at the range.
A form four is what you would have if you purchased your NFA item already made with NFA status. FOPA prohibits new machineguns from being made by ordinary citizens anymore, but SBRs, Suppressors and AOWs all take a form 1 if you make them, and the returned, signed and stamped form 1
IS your legal documention.
