SBR tax stamp?

[Sniper338]

How do you go about getting an SBR stamp? Anyone know the process?

If you dont like doing paperwork, Silencer Shop makes it really easy for a Form 1. They fill it out and send it in on your behalf.

Are you buying one already manufactured or intend on installing a short barrel on a rifle you already own?

You can do it online on the atf website. I did one, pre-trust/head LEO law change sevaral years ago.It was a lower that I knew what I was going to do with. It actually didn’t take very long. 4-6 weeks until approved. Things may have changed by now though. It’s worth a look though.

My, it has been a while. There hasn't been a six week approval in the last ten years!
My last NFA purchase took 10 1/2 MONTHS and a good friend with a SOT says he is seeing most take 11-14 months now.

My suppressor that I purchased from a dealer took 10 months. The online form that you do yourself to manufacture an sbr is much faster, or it was anyways.

No sir. Form 1 took 10 1/2 months.

I did a paper form1 last year after the trust rules changes, on a trust with 3 people. Paperwork tool awhile because the fingerprint cards were backordered and getting my wife and kid in the same place at the same time for something they don't care about took some doing. ATF called me 3 months in because my daughter (who worked at the gun store) didn't put TN after Nashville. Took right around 8 months.

I recommend you have the lower engraved before you submit, just in case the engraver messes it up. Way easier to buy another AR lower than start the paperwork again, and 10,000 times faster.

A local gun shop here in SC has been getting quick turn arounds for SBR individual Form 1's, as in approximately 4 months. I tried to do an electronic Form 1 and had problems getting the website to accept my work and upload files. I was using a trust before the changes. So, I then applied by mail and I got that stamp in about 6 months which was fast because of the massive numbers of people trying to be the deadline for the changes.

One good thing about applying by paper by mail is that the ATF will contact you concerning mistakes and give you a little time to correct it and send it back. If you make the same mistake on the electronic form it is just rejected and you get to start over again. I had a mistake in my weapon's description, which was corrected and the stamp issued, so that is the way I would recommend you go.

Note that the ATF eform site says the following:

Note: NFA eForm 1, 4 and 5 are not in service at the present time, due to regulatory change implementation with no set date of restoration to service.

Its just downright rediculous this bull crud takes so long. An SBR shouldnt even be restricted, it doesnt matter at all to or for anything... just a "make it look legitimate" scheme.. its just all a wash in the end imo.

With engraving a lower or suppressor can you engrave it like SCK1ATF or GETFCKDATF69?!

These threads are informative, but just piss me off that good guys have to jump through these hoops, since some law maker who doesn’t know his head from his ass arbitrarily said this barrel length or this low of a sound is illegal.

Yep me too.. kinda dont like my own thread now. The wait times just made me mad lol.

 

[Knotwild]

Yes, wait times really stink; but there's nothing like the day that stamp comes in the mail or the phone rings and your dealer says you can come pick your suppressor up! And, the process won't ever change.

Form 1 Efile has been back up since first part of October. People have been getting approved in 15-20 days as reported on NFA Tracker.

It is what it is, and has been this way for a long time. Are you building a rifle, or a handgun?

I didn't realize it. I got my information from the ATF website. How do they get your finger prints to them? I personally still like the mail.

From the ATF Efile link I attached in earlier post.
"The eForms system cannot yet accept fingerprint cards, so if the application requires fingerprint cards, the fingerprint cards will be submitted in hard copy. The eForms system will generate an email notification to the submitter providing a cover letter which is to be returned with the fingerprints so they can be matched to the application."

I efiled a Form1 on 11-5, mailed prints that made it there on the 9th and I am still waiting for approval. Lots of people getting theirs back fairly quick.....just not me.

If this is something you want to do, order the finger print cards from the ATF, they are free. Buy some inkless pads from Amazon and do your own prints. Worked just fine for me on my last two paper Form1's. (Amazon has the cards you can buy if in a hurry)

Good to know; thanks for the advice. Don't know if I will be making any more forays into the Class II/III world or not, but if I do, that will, at the very least, save me a trip to the local sheriff's office and the attendant fees.
