OK, I've never owned an SBR and have been kicking around the idea.
Educate me people! What's the process from A-Z, soup to nuts, beginning to end.

Go to ATF.gov. Download form 4 in duplicate. Proof of citizenship form, duplicate. Fill them both out, get your passport photos x 2. Adhere them to the form 4. Go to sheriffs office with everything in a folder, hand it over and wait about 2 weeks for him to review/sign, also while you're at your sheriff's office get your finger print cards. My sheriff does mine for $10 per card, you need 2. Call first to see if the office does them, you can not get the cards in advance and they must be done by a certified finger printer. Take both copies of everything and send it off to ATF NFA branch with a $200 personal check, this way you can track when they cash it. Wait 3-12 months. Forget you even submitted paper work. NFA Branch Suite 1250 244 Needy Rd. Martinsburg, WV 25405-9431 Like a Xmas out of the blue, it returns. Engrave the SBR (I strongly suggest an AR-15) with your name, city and state of manufacture. This must match exactly what was on the form 4. You can laser engrave since it only has to be 0.003" in depth. I mechanically engraved mine, there is no missing it. I also suggest large plain font. www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-5320-4.pdfwww.atf.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Firearms/FirearmsIndustry/f_5330._20_certification_of_compliance_with_18_u.s.c._922g5b.pdfwww.ar15.com/forums/t_6_17/257740_Complete_Guide_of_how_to_complete_a_Form_1.html |

There are also gun trusts rather than the LEO signature. Some LEO's for an area won't sign off on it, so you have to go the trust route instead. johnpierceesq.com/?page_id=21 |

Full disclosure, I don't have a trust and I'm not at all familiar with that process.

I don't have any NFA items period and the only reason I'm familiar with it is my Father-in-law got a suppressor for his .308, a medic/hunting buddy got a suppressor for .300 BO and a couple fire fighters I know had to go the same route for Suppressors. They all went the trust route.
Despite this being TX in the built areas (especially Dallas, Houston and Austin) police chiefs won't even sign off for their own officers. So the only alternative is to move to another (more rural area) or go the firearms trust route.
They've talked about closing that several times, so you'd kind of have to get on that fairly quickly.

Step 1- Form a Gun Trust. This isn't complex and it isn't expensive. You need a printer, a few witnesses, and a notary public. At least in most states. YMMV.  Step 2- Apply for your tax stamp on the ATF's E-forms site. Step 3- Wait. Step 4- Get the happy email with your tax stamp, and then go assemble your rifle after getting the lower engraved with the name of your trust and the city/state where it (the trust) is located. PM me and I'll happily send you a copy of my trust with my personal data removed. I have at last count 8 approved tax stamps. |
