| So I'd love to build an SBR or 5 and have a silencer. I live in GA. I have my CCW... does that matter? Anyone around here that can list the steps for me. I have looked on the Internet, but it's confusing. Also I've heard conflicting info at the gun shops. Thanks guys. |

It's not as difficult as people think. There's two avenues:
1: as an individual: buy item at local dealer, fill out paperwork, get passport photo/fingerprints/signature from police chief, send it paperwork to ATF with $200 check, wait for it to come back and pick up your item. 2: as a corporation/trust: buy item at local dealer, fill out paperwork, send to ATF with $200 check, wait for it to come back and pick up your item method 2 is the best way to go and it will be the only option if you have an anti-gun police chief who refuses to sign NFA forms. |

That is the simple way. If you actually want to build... Buy some lowers. (optional) build them up and test them out under a normal upper half. Fill out your Form 1 (in duplicate) for each upper Go either Route 1 or Route 2 from above post. (passport pics & CLEO sig or Trust) Wait for the ATF to send you your stamps. Have lowers engraved with required info Buy/build short uppers. |

One of your best sources of info is right here on ARFcom in the "Armory" forum.

I did my SBR through a revocable living trust as in the state of Florida, it is very uncommon to have a senior law enforcement officer sign off...the trust has the status of a living individual without being alive, and have committed transgressions that would preclude CLEO signature.... the trust has possession of the SBR, and as the grantor and trustee of the trust, I have use of it, as well as any other trust members...the provisions of the trust describe the disposition of the SBR upon my death... I filed the paperwork by mail, and took a little over 4 months to receive the approval..
I had the name of the entire trust laser engraved into the lower receiver, including the "The" at the beginning of the name BATFE has the on line form 1 so the information can be typed in line 1 tax paid, enclose check for $200 line 2 check corporation or other line 3b name and address of the trust, not your name 3d,e county, phone number 4 name and address of lower manufacturer, short barrel rifle, serial number, model, and rest of length and caliber specifics 4h complete name of the trust and address 4i sporting and collecting 4j no 7 signature 8 my name grantor/trustee 9 date on back all of 10 and 11 nothing else on the form 1 this form is returnee with the tax stamp affixed and approval and date on bottom I sent in an entire package by mail copy of the revocable trust an additional form stating that you are a US citizen check for $200 form 1 good luck |

I have looked on the Internet, but it's confusing. Also I've heard conflicting info at the gun shops. Thanks guys. Contact Jake Hinton [email protected]. He runs a shop called Quiet Riot Firearms just south of Atlanta. Sells a ton of suppressors. He helped me out getting my trust setup and has been very helpful with the whole process. I now have 4 suppressors and 2 SBRs. |
| Thanks guys for all the info. So it's easier than it looks, just need some patience. I think it just sounds like a daunting task. Really just need to jump through a few hoops and do a rain dance. I wish they'd just realize SBR's should be covered under the 2nd ammendment, suppressor too. |
