My SBR questions

[kedie]

I picked up an LMT lower yesterday and will be building an SBR. I have three questions.

1. Whats the turn around time for a form 1?

2. Who do I make the check out too, the DOJ or the BATFE? (Box 1a on the form 1 says the DOJ, but 2g on the instructions page says the BATFE)

3. The questions on the form 1 that don't apply to me, do I leave the box blank or write N/A?

They had it down to a month a lil bit ago, but i've heard it's back up to 2 again.

2. Who do I make the check out too, the DOJ or the BATFE? (Box 1a on the form 1 says the DOJ, but 2g on the instructions page says the BATFE)
Sorry, don't know this one.

3. The questions on the form 1 that don't apply to me, do I leave the box blank or write N/A?
I believe blank

Write the check to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This is how I have written every one I have ever sent, though I would suspect that DOJ would be acceptable too.

Make the check payable to: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Individual form 1's are running about 30-45 days, trust form1's are running about 60-90 days.

If the question doesn't apply, I always put "n/a", but I doubt that it matters.

Thanks for the info. I went to get fingerprinted, and got my passport pics this afternoon. What's the best way to affix the pics to the form? I hope to have this sucker in the mail by Friday!

.

I thought trust forms went quicker because they didn't have to deal with the fingerprints, etc.

Used to be true. Now Trusts are receiving way more scrutiny from the lawyers at BATFE to ensure their validity. This is due to their phenomenal increase in popularity.

I use an Elmers Glue Stick to affix the photos.


VUPD is right on the money for the reason why trusts transfers are slowed down now.

Says you; my most recent one was sent 5/30 and was approved on 8/4.

If the question doesn't apply, I always put "n/a", but I doubt that it matters.

I leave 'em blank. I doubt it matters, but I'd hate for my form to get kicked back because some examiner thinks "N/A" isn't a valid FFL number.

Really?

Holy smokes appox 64 days for a friggin form1, jeebus!

My SBR f1 on a trust took 5 weeks a little over a year ago.

Where can I find info on this whole process. I'm going to be building an SBR and I already have all the parts for the lower just need the upper.

Get your paperwork from ATF for free on this site.
Distribution Center Order Form

 

[SavageEagle]

Ok, not sure how to fill out Part II. Which one on the right do I want? Do they send me the forms in the mail or do I download them and print them out?

Ok, after doing some reading up in the FAQ section of the NFA firearms, I ordered 2 Form 1's and 2 Fingerprint cards. I hope that's all I need.

You will also need ATF F 5330.20, aka the Citizenship Verification Form.

Next time, you should order multiple copies of the forms just to have on hand. You will inevitably screw up the first one. If you do screw up the F1, I have a pile on hand...


ETA: If you didn't order the citizenship form, I believe you can download that one...

I ordered double copies of both F1 and the fingerprint cards. Where can I download the citizenship form? couldn't find it.

 

[ashylarry]

Yah definitely get more copies. I messed up the first two or three I did

 

[VUPDblue]

You have to submit the F1 in duplicate anyway, they keep one and send you back one. The citizenship form is available here. I am not 100% sure if it is the most current one, but I think it is.

 

[SavageEagle]

Ok I just reordered, I'm sure they won't mind! I got 15 of each.
