View Quote Had some in the month to 45 day range. My 9mm AR took 112 days. Unfortunately, no rhyme or reason for it. That one was submitted with 4 others (ink prints), all which came back earlier. Even the one I did with EFT, and a month after the 5 came back just under 45 days. Luck of the draw. |

I’m tempted to cancel my 3/2 submission and resubmit seeing all these ones coming through that were submitted much later. I have approved ones from 3/1 and 3/17.

First time filing anything under the NFA.
Filed two through SilencerShop on 4/27. First one came back approved today 5/18. We will see how long the other one takes. |

Got the approval email today, 8 days after it was submitted.
Will there be a paper copy w/stamp sent to me as well? If so, do I have to wait to have that in hand before "making" the SBR? First time doing the eform deal so unclear how this part works. Thanks |

Your conclusions were all wrong

View Quote I was actually thinking the same- my submission was on my Trust, which already has 4 other nfa items, approved over a few years- and resubmitting as an individual. I don’t think I’ve seen another Trust submission languishing 100+ days. |

Yea, I’ve some paid Form 1 trust submissions well over 100 days, not a single approval yet. Talked to an examiner yesterday about one submitted more recently, after 60+ days in pending research, I was told to withdraw it and submit it under the brace rule. It’s obviously a stripped receiver, plenty of pics provided of it showing it’s a stripped receiver. It also wasn’t released till after the rule was. |

Originally Posted By ATF FAQ: 12. Once the firearm is registered as a short-barreled rifle (SBR) can I remove/change the “stabilizing brace” or attach an item marketed as a stock?

You do not need to contact ATF/NFA because changing the brace/stock does not change the configuration of the SBR. However, if the length of the firearm has changed you will need to notify the NFA Division. Final Note: The SBR is not “registered” until an approved Form 1 is received from NFA. The brace cannot be substituted/replaced until that time. FAQ |

I decided to put my braced pistols in before the amnesty period is over, and opted to use Silencershop as I've used them before.
I just received the docusign from them and Form 1s all have the TAX PAID box checked, is that right? I was under the impression there was no tax in this brace situation -- so wondering if Silencershop or myself made a mistake -- or if they all look that way. On the ATF FAQ it does indicate one must submit an Application to Make and Register a Firearm -- so it sorta seems right -- I'm just not seeing anywhere in the Form1 itself where it says its tax free. Can anybody point me in the right direction? |

You should be fine. My one that I did through SS said the same thing. I was confused and then said fuck it. If something comes up and they deny it I'll just re-do it on my own. It all went through fine. Came back approved a couple of days ago. Took like 5 weeks.

It’s funny how it’s considered an SBR, the brace is considered a stock, but you can’t swap out the brace for a stock.

Already have all the parts to complete the rebuild. The last one I’m waiting for I’m expecting will be denied because I recently discovered a mistake in the paperwork. Really no big deal I was thinking of just removing the brace and buffer tube anyway and making it a true pistol in .22LR. |

I submitted my eform1 under forbearance on 3/7 and was approved 69 days later, which also happend to be around the time the ATF pistol brace hearing started. At that time they stated only 150k applications had been completed. Now that time is running out the flood gates will open with new applications...I'm betting it will take 6 months to a year now

You can log in and correct the error before it gets denied. Just download a copy of the submitted form, open with a pdf editor and make corrections. Save file but rename it 5320.1_corrected.pdf. then upload that file under the electronic document section of your original submitted form.
That's what I did and it worked no problem. |

Question for anyone that may know:
I used The Electronic fingerprint (EFT file) on my application. I just received the submission email and had the Cover letter to send in 2 copies of the fingerprint cards within 10 days. I take it this is the ATF being the ATF and not having logic to strip that out of the email if someone used the EFT file. Am I right to assume I do not need to send them in? EDIT: Sent in an "Ask the Expert Question" from the ATF site. Just got a reply. The reply stated: "If you submitted an EFT physical prints are not necessary." |

Except that you can. Once approved you can do what you want. This was specifically addressed in the FAQ |

Originally Posted By Diesel1979: It’s funny how it’s considered an SBR, the brace is considered a stock, but you can’t swap out the brace for a stock. View Quote Sort of. On the submittal you are to provide length dimensions. Switching to a stock changes those dimensions, and so what you have is no longer what was submitted and undergoing the review process. I rather doubt anyone cares in reality. |

When it's registered you can, though. This proves the ATF knows that the brace isn’t a stock. If you already have an unregistered SBR, then you should be able to put any thing in it you want. I’m not advocating anything (the FAQ says what it says), but the ATF stepped into a logical fallacy. |

Since they classify the brace as a stock, why can't I put a stock in it while I wait months for them to approve a form 1. It’s the same thing right? Typical govt nonsense. |
