    These days, the advantage of a trust is really only if you'd like to have other people be able to access and or use the item outside of your supervision.

    Yes. I'm away from home a lot so it'll be available for my family to use if there is an unfortunate incident.

    Anyone do the Single Shot Trust that silencershop uses?
    I've got Single Shot Trust Unlimited and I have used it for 9 NFA items at this point. In retrospect I probably would have been fine with a regular trust, but these have worked well for me. No issues at all with it. I have not started to add people to them, but that is going to be annoying unless I have a notary friend I am unaware of.

    Pretty sure you just need to go to a bank branch you do banking with. Wells Fargo offers it for free if you have an account with them.

    UPS stores also have notaries.

    Yup, I've used the notary (there's more than one, usually) at my local SunTrust branch many times. Comes with having an account there.

    After waiting for 6 months I called ATF and they reviewed it while I was on the phone and approved my form 4 instantly. Sometimes you get a good bounce. I didn't like the taxt stamp came as an email. I liked getting the physical stamp

    Didn't know that emailed stamps were an option. I thought you had to have an original

    Before they changed the rules with 41F in 2016, you could e-file a Form 1 on the ATF website. When you did this, they emailed you a PDF of your approved Form 1 when it was ready. That's all you ever got - no physical stamp.

    Just mailed my forms for a Saker 762 ASR and a Sparrow 22 on Saturday the 29th as an individual, does anyone have any idea when those might be coming back to me? Maybe spring next year?

    I think I'm going to hold off on buying anything else until eForm4 service is available again, particularly via silencershop. Gives me time to enjoy the items I've already purchased, and I won't be shooting much until 2019 anyway, which is when the eForm4 service is projected to be up and running.

    Seeing 12 day turnaround times for eForm 1s on Reddit, and I expect that might even go down via Silencershop once their eForm1 service goes live in the next few days/weeks. Might take advantage of that to SBR an AK. Need a dedicated host for my Dead Air Wolverine. Those adjustable gas blocks that have been coming out lately for AKs have me chomping at the bit to get a suppressed 5.45 SBR done. Will probably need one in 7.62x39 as well . . .
