Quote History Quoted:
I get that you use your own info when filling out the 4473. But the directions on the 4473 clearly state that if the purchase is for a trust that you " MUST complete Section A of the form with his or her personal information, sign Section A, and attach a written statement"
I am thinking.]Since it says Must that any FFL doing a transfer for of a firearm that he knows is going to be part of a trust is required to attach said statement.
I594, oh yes that little gem. also defines a transfer and has wording that defines a transfer between a person and a corporation, company, association, partnership, or other such business entity,
The way I read 594 if you follow the directions clearly posted on the 4473 and attach said statement the transfer has happened between the FFL and the trust. If you pick it up with no attached statement then you as a person completed the transfer. When you go home and write it in to the schedule A another transfer has taken place between you and the trust which requires another NICS check that did not happen and could be considered a crime. Then when you file your form 1 and send in your schedule A they now have a record of said crime?
I think I will shake the tree a bit on this one and find a FFL that can follow directions. The FFL has no liability transferring a firearm to a person it is the owner of the firearm that went home and did another transfer with it by adding it to his schedule A and not informing the FFL of his or her intent.

Because you dont need to do any of that to purchase a lower. You buy it, get a form 1 back and then add it to your trust. Why are you trying to purchase a lower with the trust itself?

This says that trusts arent "persons", and that the transfer must be made to an individual. Business entities are considered persons, so they do attach said form and can receive a firearm.

Because unincorporated trusts are not "persons" under the GCA, a Federal firearms licensee
(FFL) cannot transfer firearms to them without complying with the GCA. Thus, when an FFL
transfers an NFA firearm to a trustee or other person acting on behalf of a trust, the transfer is
made to this person as an individual (i.e., not as a trust). As the trustee or other person acting on
behalf of the trust is not the approved transferee under the NFA, 18 U.S.C. 5812, the trustee or
other person acting on behalf of a trust must undergo a NICS check. The individual must also be
a resident of the same State as the FFL when receiving the firearm.
