    Was talking with a co-workers husband at a Christmas party about hunting, guns, etc. He mentioned AK's I said I've always wanted a real Krink style AK but hated that $200 tax and the wait. He said "You would never get my name on one of those forms." He's a federal DEA agent and that was enough to steer me away from any Class III form ever.
    Take it as food for thought and a grain of salt this is the net after all. Do what you want but for me when a federal agent wouldn't put his name on one of these forms there must be a reason for it. I didn't ask or pry as to why.

    Very well done video, Sir. There was a home invasion four blocks from my house two weeks ago, and I'm going to start the process for getting suppressors for my Wife and my pistols for home defense. I don't think blood dripping from our ears should be the price paid for defending our family from criminal thugs.
    Thank you.

    you originally made it possible for me to get my first tax stamp when i still lived in New Port Richey and i greatly appreciate all the help you gave me back then. i moved to Colorado in Feb now. laws are almost the same here. this video by the way is the best NFA explination i have ever seen since i first started getting interested into these goodies.

    good info.....I just sure wish Louisiana didn't make us get state approval before sending out the Form 4 to the ATF. It's added at least 6 weeks to my wait time on 2 cans and am up to 8 weeks on another silencer......

  • @Wabbitsw
    @Wabbitsw 12 років тому

    I really appreciate the video! I think this has finally pushed me into taking the NFA plunge. Question about adding assets to the trust if you are creating an SBR: Does it matter if the lower receiver is already listed as an asset in your trust before sending all forms to the BATF? If you make a mistake in creating your trust and the BATF does not approve your Form, is it a big deal? Can you re-submit after fixing your mistake? Will they give you a reason why your were not approved?

    Great video! Very detailed answered all my questions, well almost all, if I want to add, say a Magpul stock to my my SBR that has a stock tube on it, how would I list it on the paperwork being I made the rifle already but had a stock tube on it to make it legal. Also I'm in south florida who drew up your trust, and I don't know if you know but would I still have to have the trust made if I already own my own business, sorry for so many questions, I appriciate any answers you can give, thanks.

    I got mines a few weeks ago. I actually forgot about it and then one day I get a call that I was approved and picked it up at the shop. Definitely worth owning one. They now have these kiosks where you take your picture and take your fingerprints etc.. pay it online etc. could not be easier.

  • @xxBleedxxLikexxMexx

  • @SeaforgedArtifacts

    I'm curious, do you need to keep some kind of proof of registration or tax payment when you take it to the range?

  • @TehPastafarian
    @TehPastafarian 12 років тому

    For the guy asking if he still needs a trust if he has a business, I'm not an expert but I've heard that you can use your business, but it is not recommended. I've heard it is financially safer for you to isolate the two, but I forgot exactly why. Something to do with containing liability.
    Thanks for the info, I'm just now getting the ball rolling for my first can. I have a friend that did it using a self help packet instead of a lawyer. How much did you pay the lawyer? Lawyer seems safer.

    Thanks for the info! I know you probably won't do this, but it would be so, so cool if you had a gunsmith add threads to the Serbu Super Shorty, and then got a nice fat suppressor for it! Now that's a gun I have yet to see silenced. Hope the spread from such a short barrel wont be too much.

  • @hemi426bee69
    @hemi426bee69 7 років тому +2

    The reason Suppressors were put of the NFA registry was because of people were afraid of not hearing the report of a gun when out hunting. Also hollywood hype was another reason. It was a last minute thing. Back in 1934 was an insane amount of money at the time.

  • @mikeglackin8196
    @mikeglackin8196 11 років тому

    I watched your video and I think I have a pretty good idea. But I just wanted to clarify now is the process the same for building a silencer( for personal use) as buying one, as far as transfer fee etc. And if we are allowed to build our own what about any markings ie serial numbers etc. And thank you for putting in the time and info out for us who want to play but arnt sure where to start.Lol

    • @spenserhickssh

  • @nikolasbbq
    @nikolasbbq 10 років тому

    Some questions. 1 - Is it OK to have a short-barreled UPPER in your possession before you receive your Form 1 back? 2 - Is it OK to put that short UPPER onto an unengraved lower? 3 - Who does the engraving?

    • @nfareview
      @nfareview  10 років тому

      1. NO 2.NO (this is constructive inter and possession of an illegal SBR) and 3.It depends on where you live. Google for firearm engravers in your area.

    • @NFCory
      @NFCory 10 років тому +2

      It is legal to possess a short barreled upper receiver because it can be made into a "pistol". This is why there are no restrictions on websites selling short barrels. However if you possess a short barreled upper and put it on a lower receiver with a collapsible stock at that moment it is an illegal weapon unless you have a SBR permit. The Sig sb15 is a perfect loophole for possessing a short upper.

  • @NateGDogg1226
    @NateGDogg1226 10 років тому

    Does one trust cover all of the silencers that you buy or do you have to create a new trust or add an amendment to the trust every time you buy another silencer? If covered by the same trust every time, can the same trust also be used for SBRs? Additionally, do you have to put the specific gun you plan to use the silencer with every time you buy a new silencer?

    • @nfareview
      @nfareview  10 років тому +1

      One trust can hold an infinite number of items, you add these in the schedule A in the trust. Trust can be used for any and all NFA items. The silencer is the registered part, you can use it on anything you wish.

  • @mikethemaniac1
    @mikethemaniac1 9 років тому

    if you build an SBR legally registered with the specifications, can you just change the length of the barrel, or do you have to only use 10.5 inch barrels with your lower, and can you switch out to non SBR uppers for longer range shooting or to run a different caliber?

  • @Astro_Amputee
    @Astro_Amputee 8 років тому +5

    So let me get this straight. Let's say you want to buy two different silencers in two different calibers. You have to pay a $200 tax stamp for each silencer? Why not just make you pay a $200 tax stamp to be able to own ANY silencer and then you can go into any FFL and show your tax stamp and buy a silencer that day.

    • @jetbike007
      @jetbike007 9 років тому

      +onerka69 You need to have your stamp with you any time you take your silencer/SBR/SBSG/AUTO with you. I just keep mine in a 3 ring binder like fireman1291, and take it when I go out to shoot.

    • @Grantham86
      @Grantham86 8 років тому

      +onerka69 Yes. A copy of the trust must be with the suppressor at all times. A lot of people just shrink the trust down so that it will fit on one page.

    so how do you handle a form one if you build a SBR or sliencer from scratch yourself? Do you have to make up a serial number for the form?

    • @RezToRealLife
      @RezToRealLife 9 років тому

      +Robbie CaptMilkbone Baxter I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you're milling a silencer you have to submit your design and a unique serial like "CaptMB0001". Since the process is a bit expensive and cumbersome, you might want to be sure your design is somewhat "flexible". Meaning flexibility in dimensions and threading, as well as it can be internally serviceable, and switched to a different rifle where possible. Just ideas. Best of luck.

      I would guess 18 sence its a firearm, but maybe 21 if its also considered a "pistol"

    To protect hearing you must pay for the device, pay a $200 tax, do paperwork, pass some sort of contrived BG check and in the case of many small town, corrupt police chief law enforcement officers kiss their asses, give a massage with a happy ending or pay them off.
    HEARING PROTECTION ACT has got to happen. To do all this crap to simply protect your hearing is insane. Please don't tell the government that hard hats save construction worker's lives or life jackets prevent drowning. I'm floored that body armor doesn't require a tax stamp too.

    you have to get the tax stamped paperwork before you make it or you're violating a federal law punishable of a $10k fine and 10 years in the pen.

    My CLEO was a mother fraker that is anti gun. He didn't sign the form that he had for 5 months. Then i had to get my state police to sign it, they had my papers for another 5 months. Now the ATF has my paperwork 5 months and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. This system is a joke.

    Call your local ATF office, ask about a Drop In Auto Sear for an AR15.
