NFA FAQ **Read me first**

Clarification on out of state NFA transfer form fees:

If one buys a SBR from someone in another state then to get it transferred to them in MD there are two $200 taxes for a total of $400 to be paid by new owner?

Thanks,

In general, yes, two tax stamps and $400. I just transferred a machine gun. One stamp to get it to the dealer, a second to get it to me.

If the weapon is on a form 3 it goes tax free to the next dealer, requiring only 1 tax stamp (e.g. new sbr's).

Thanks!

That sucks.

Oh well, only money right..

Pls correct me if I am wrong, if I buy factory SBR from out of state and had it transferred to an FFL in MD. Then fill out form 4. Can I swap out any upper on it?

 

[jhason]

I'm looking to SBR one of the lowers that I will be picking up and have started to go through all the require paper work.

I've noticed that the ATF Form 1 in the Stickie section of this thread is the older form. The mod may want to update the link to the newer version at http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5320-1.pdf

Who do I address the envelope to (Dana Pickles?) and what address do I send the ATF Form 5320.20 to.

Address is on the form

See "b" in the instructions section

 

[MightyWarMonger]

Lol thanks some times you have to be smarter than what your working with

 

[Justler]

Anyone have an example of their Form 1 filled out for a trust that they've gotten approval on? Going to submit my pistol so I can eventually put a stock on it!

 

[jkeys]

Can a sheriff from another county sign off on the paperwork? The reason that I ask is that I live in Baltimore County but work in Carrol County and also go to the range there.

 

[pwoolford]

I have an engraving question related to building an SBR and trusts. Can you abbreviate the trust name that gets engraved on the lower?

For example. Could you engrave "The J Doe Trust" if your actual trust name is "The John Doe Revocable Trust"?

Thanks in advance!

 

[erwos]

No, unless you request a marking variance. That's the reason you pick the shortest trust name possible. For example, "AB Trust", where A and B are my initials (well, for the example).

 

[huesmann]

When filling out a Form 1 to register a stripped lower you have as an SBR, what answers do you give for questions 4a (manufacturer), 4d (model), 4h, (description) and 4i (reason)?

Thanks!

do i need to worry about any of this ******** if i just buy a 12.5 barrel. in other words do i need to show paperwork to get it or does that just count for a complete SBR upper or can i order either one and its just a nono to attach on the lower?

What is the latest on Fingerprinting?

I am about to start the whole NFA process.

My understanding is that I need to go to a place like Maryland LiveScan to get livescan prints for MSP. Yes? Then I bring that receipt with me when I drop off the forms at MSP, yes?

When I go to Livescan, I also have them do ink prints, yes? Two sets? On what color cards? Do they have the cards there? And then do they give me the cards and I send them in with my paperwork myself, or do they send them?

I live in Timonium. Where can I have this stuff done that's close? A google of Livescan turns up only one such place (Glen Burnie). Is there still that place in Pikesville on Reisterstown Rd? Can they do it?

Thanks!

 

[huesmann]

Livescan only does scanned prints. The scans get printed onto your print cards. I don't think they provide the cards, but I could be mistaken. You'll have to turn your cards in at the MSP. I got my prints done at FYI Fingerprinting, which IIRC is in Ellicott City.

ETA: read this post for print card info: http://www.mdshooters.com/showpost.php?p=2639272&postcount=16

The MSP does not get the cards. They get the Livescan receipt. The cards go to BATF when you submit your MSP signed Form 4. Engage gave me the cards to use as they have the preprintd info on them. Livescan printed directly to those.

 

[vgplayer]

Everyone I have spoken to about building a SBR has said
"I wouldn't want to pay that $200 tax every year"

Seriously everyone. I wonder how that has continued to propagate.

What do you do if you're doing a Form 1? Get Livescan receipt, take to MSP, wait for MSP "all clear", send prints, photos, Form 1, MSP "all clear" to ATF?

 

[swinokur]

I did mine on a Form 4. I assume it's the same. The all clear from MSP is now 9 weeks for me and I have not received my Form 4 back yet.
