| The specs on a BW5 say it has a 3 lug barrel. If I paid my 200, got the stamp, put my name on the gun, how hard is it to get the fake can off? Or how is it permantly attached I guess? |

Maddog - I liked it when it had a fake suppressor and now I love it after the fake can has been removed. It just feels right without that fake can on. 89Saleen - Believe it or not, I submitted 4 Form 1's (V53, G36k, BW5, and BW89) and got an approval in 30 days. Of course mine is going to go faster than yours since I went the Corp route, but those guys in WV are moving quickly now that the lazy assess in DC are no longer doing the work. Since those went so fast, I submitted another Form 1 and a Form 4 about a month ago. I guess we will see how fast those go. BTW, are you heading out to the gun show this weekend? |
| I have a follow up to the original question. When making an SBR on a form 1 is it actually required to have your name and city stamped or engraved in the gun. I have called the NFA branch on this and got an unclear response and the local class 3 dealers around here seem to disagree. If anyone actually knows please let me know or tell me where to look. Thanks for any advice. |
| Not everyone agrees that you need to mark your name/city/state when "making" an SBR using a receiver that already has the original manufacturer's name on it. The same regulation says you need to put a unique serial number not previously used (or words to that effect), but no one advocates adding another serial number. I just got a Form 1 approved that has "None" in block 4.h Additional Description. This means that there are no other identifying data which will appear on the firearm & I feel that adding anything would go against my approved From 1 description. There's a lengthly discussion about this marking on the AR-15 FA board. One guy called ATF & was told you don't need to do this. Apparently others have been told differently. The guy wrote a letter (posted on the board) to ATF that asks the question is a very specific manner & requests a response in writing. I'm not saying which is right - I am waiting to see what comes back in writing. The regulation is clearly not clear & I'm hoping for a good answer from ATF. Hopefully not like the one that recently showed up on Sturm that read like a registered MG made up of a married receiver/DIAS was not legal! This wasn't even the question that was asked - |
