I am looking at start a Trust for some NFA fun. I have been looking around the web and in the Class III Armory on here. I have found some templates and a lot of discussion on Google. I am looking for some guidance. Has anyone written their own Trust? Any pointers if I take this on by myself? I have found guntrust.com and they seem to be the go to place on the net. Does anyone know of any NFA lawyers in the Lincoln area. I am trying to avoid high cost options since I have a little boy on the way and I am saving up just to get the stamp. But in no way do I want to go about doing the trust in the wrong way. I don’t want to get anyone involved in any legal issues someday.

This is just my opinion, but your best bet may be to move anywhere but Lancaster Co.  I "think" that's the only place in NE that you have problems getting a cleo signature.  I suspect that trusts will soon be functionally useless, as you'll need to get a cleo signature even with the trust.  If you can't get one now, you probably won't get one for a trust.   Just my .02

Thats why I want to get the Trust started now and get the the form 1 turned in. I have a little while before the ATF makes the new ruling on Trusts. I don't even have the lower yet. My plan is to get my stamp pending get a 80% lower and finish it after i get the stamp. This build is going to be long term for me but I the way I see it I need to get the ball rolling now. As far as moving out of Lancaster Co. well its on my dream list. I would love to find myself a nice little area to set up a 2-300 yard range on. But unless hit the bigone on Saturday thats not going to happen.

i think goingpostal might be a little biased when it comes to Reaper Arms.

i have done 3 stamps (all cans, 2 in the system now) through Scott @ Reaper.  he's a great guy, great service, and great prices.  highly recommended.

i and other NFOA'ers have also used Dick's trusts.

Forgive me OP if I'm reading it wrong but in your post above you mention completing an 80% lower and the stamp.  You know you don't need a stamp to complete an 80% lower right?  Or are you going to SBR it.....??

I am going to SBR a 80% lower that I have not manufactured yet. I want to get my stamp because of near future change in requirements. Next year sometime I will get the lower and build it up.

I checked out Reaper website and it seems pretty simple but he also says he is the lowest prices in the state. Right now as much as I would like to get a can I am going to stick with the SBR.

I would completely finish an 80% lower before getting it registered as an SBR.  If something happens during the finishing or engraving process that messes it up and leaves it as a paper weight your going to be extremely pissed about all the time and money you wasted.

What's the lawyer fee for setting up the trust.  From Dick Clark.

He told me 200-300 range. Im sure he does a great job but it sucks that the trust is the cost of the stamp.

I can't speak  highly enough of Dick Clark.  He is a GREAT guy and is very thorough in his Trust preparation.   I had my first Trust prepared by a dealer and while it passed the NFA test it was NOT up to par IMO after seeing what a real NFA specific Trust looks like.

$250 is cheap considering the piece of mind that you get from Dick and not having to worry about it being correct for our State.

I would check around for dealers on suppressors and not be afraid to do a transfer.  I have become jaded with the NFA dealers in Nebraska and feel there isn't enough competition to allow for local prices to be what they should be.
