I just submitted my first form 1 using efile and have a couple of questions for those that have done it.
1. How soon after you submit do you get a response email with the cover sheet for your fingerprints and where you’re supposed to send them? 2. I didn’t fill out my FD-258 exactly as indicated. For my height I mistakenly put 6’1” instead of 601. Does anyone know if it will be an issue or should I try to correct it somehow? 3. Any idea in current wait times? Thanks! |

Once with the last guy (Kaupas?) and once with this one. No issues either time. |

NFA stuff has never really interested me personally since I am not rich, a hunter, or an operator. All joking aside nothing covered by the NFA really seemed like it was worth the time, effort or hassle to try to own, ESPECIALLY in IL. That said, now that there is a PCC division in USPSA, and they allow legal SBRs - but not shouldered SBR shaped "pistols", I can now justify the effort.
 If anyone in Central IL wants to PM me and point me in the right direction, that would be awesome

I have a couple AR-15 SBRs following this process. Is it true that an AK, Scar, MP5 etc could not be SBRed in IL because the "stock device" does not need to be in place to fire the device? IE an AR15 has to have the buffer tube to be a functioning rifle. Am I making any sense here? lol

Looks like it just needs to be a minimum OAL of 26” and appears people are doing it in the non-folded position. If so, a SLR-104UR is around 28.75” so should be good to go.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ScopeEye: How exactly is The OAL of 26" measured? With a tape measure?  Don't take it as gospel, but I seem to remember it being with the stock collapsed and the end of the muzzle if not pinned or the end of the muzzle device if pinned. |

I have to renew by C&F FFL and also submit a Form 1. As required by the ATF, a copy has to be sent to the CLEO. I remember sending it 3 years back to my town police chief and they simply returned it back after a few weeks.
I've read here that it is best to send it to the ISP chief? I looked up and could only find the address for the 'Office of Director'. Can someone confirm the address and if this is where you should send the copies of C&R renewals & Form 1 applications please? |

Not sure how the new law affects creating a new SBR. The SP5 would have an OAL greater than 26” with pretty much any stock. A2, UMP, A3 F or pre F etc. |

That disapproval concerns me. I have two questions:
1. Do you need to engrave your info before submitting the eform1? 2. Can you submit more the one firearm in the line item or does each need to be separately filed? Thanks in advance. |

Not so fast.
I submitted a few form 1's, and one of them came back approved. Still waiting on the others but I reached out and found out they are very backlogged right now. I submitted all of mine within hours of eachother, and it the first took about 40 days or so. Still waiting on the others, but they ARE approving despite the ban. I am not in cook county. |
