That's not true at all..... I've seen personal F4's go thru in a 3-7 weeks and my trusts takes a minimum of 2 months. It's all about your examiner and their workload.

Check ATF website. The lettering has to be a certain height and depth when engraved into the receiver. Not sure on exact specs, but there are some that have to be followed. And from what I have seen and touched, laser engraving is the way to go.

It's been about 4 years since I bought anything NFA but the last one I submitted took 6 weeks while my friends personal took 9. I've never heard anything about a two month minimum.
 
Re: NFA trust

I should add that the biggest time saving feature I was speaking of is skipping the CLEO signature. Granted that can very from location to location, but the CLEO of the area I was living in on my last Form 1 and 4 applications took his time signing off on anything submitted. The rumor was that he didn't personally approve of NFA items being owned by civilians. They were 100% legal in that state so his "get back" was to sit on the paperwork for a month or two before signing it.

Read a little more in depth. I said MY trust paperwork takes about 2 months minimum. Not everyones trust paperwork...... MINE. But the days of 4-7 week transfers is gone for the most part. I haven't had that happen in years.

I'm interested in the responses to this one. I've heard, maybe incorrectly, that you CAN'T use these abbreviations when engraving. If you can, it would make a significant difference to me.

Ive been told by several at the NFA Branch that you are not to abbreviate anything, it must appear on the receiver as it does your paperwork.

So if your trust name is: "Elephant Zebras Revocable Living Trust"
It cannot read: "E.Z. RLT" or whatever combo you can come up with. Why you ask? Someone else in the country might have a trust named EZ Revocable Living Trust.

Engrave it the way your paperwork states its named.
 
Re: NFA trust

Remember this ask 10 of them at the BATF&E and you'll get 10 different answers. Ambiguity is a government standard, it needs to be written. See below, it is directly from the U.S.C.

<span style="font-style: italic">By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed), or placed on the frame, receiver, or barrel thereof certain additional information. This information must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered or removed. For firearms manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002, the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of this information must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch. The additional information includes:
(i) The model, if such designation has been made;
(ii) The caliber or gauge;
(iii) Your name (<span style="color: #FF0000">or recognized abbreviation</span>) and also, when
applicable, the name of the foreign manufacturer or maker;
(iv) In the case of a domestically made firearm, the city and State
(<span style="color: #FF0000">or recognized abbreviation thereof</span>) where you as the manufacturer maintain your place of business, or where you, as the maker, made the firearm; and (v) In the case of an imported firearm, the name of the country in which it was manufactured and the city and State (<span style="color: #FF0000">or recognized abbreviation thereof</span>) where you as the importer maintain your place of business. For additional requirements relating to imported firearms, see Customs regulations at 19 CFR part 134.
(b) The depth of all markings required by this section will be
measured from the flat surface of the metal and not the peaks or ridges. The height of serial numbers required by paragraph (a)(1) of this section will be measured as the distance between the latitudinal ends of the character impression bottoms (bases).</span>

I personally have an attorney for these types of questions, and firearms manufacturing is his niche. That being said, due your own due dilligence, the internet is like assholes, averyone has one.

Rob Howard is the big cheese in that office. I would take his advice over getting in trouble any day.


Your saying everyone has an asshole? That is true.... not sure where your going with that.
