    Can any one refer me to a lawyer who can help me prepare an NFA trust for some SBR's I want to build? Do I need a lawyer to prepare and submit a trust?

    Im not even sure you can build an SBR anymore. It kind of seems like a grey area right now.

    You can, so long as you have your receivers before October 1. I have three AK receivers and an AR receiver already registered.

    Im not questioning your knowledge of whats going on with Form 1s but can you post a link for some sort of verification on that.

    OP,

    Effective October 1, 2013 § 4-303 of the Criminal Article places restriction on whatever meets the definition of Assault Weapon:

    Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a person may not:
    (1) transport an assault weapon into the State; or
    (2) possess, sell, offer to sell, transfer, purchase, or receive an assault weapon.


    Section 4-303(b)(3) contains the grandfathering provision:

    A person who lawfully possessed, has a purchase order for, or completed an application to purchase an assault long gun or a copycat weapon before October 1, 2013, may:
    (i) possess and transport the assault long gun or copycat weapon; or . . .


    (Elsewhere in the Code, the term Assault Weapon is defined to include Assault Long Gun and Copycat Weapon)

    It stands to reason that if you had a “grandfathered” Assault Weapon prior to Oct 1st and you SBR it after Oct 1st then you still have a grandfathered Assault Weapon (just a little shorter and way more badass). I have not seen anyone put forth a compelling reason to the contrary.

    However, much conflict information has been coming out of the MSP as of late. Ask yourself this question: Do I want to engage in and undertaking that the MSP might consider as a violation on § 4-303?

    Furthermore, placing these items into trust raises additional issues. You can find some of my ramblings on the subject here:
