MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Additional Trust Transfer Info: Ladies/Gent's, I'm sure this has been covered many a time before but even as I am a fairly new to this NFA scene I still can't believe it when I see people giving out mis-information. The below text was taken DIRECTLY out of the ATF's November 2008 FFL Newsletter. Give extra attention to "BOLDED" paragraph #6 and what is NOT needed when sending in a Form 1 or 4 on a Trust, Corporation or other Legal Entity. Semper Fi, MCASgt New River "TRANSFER OF A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT FIREARM TO A CORPORATION OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY" ATF has been increasingly asked questions about the procedures for the transfer of a National Firearms Act (NFA) firearm to a corporation or other legal entity, such as a trust, that is not a Federal firearms licensee (FFL). When transferring a firearm to a corporation or legal entity you must use an ATF Form 4 Application for Tax Paid Transfer of a Firearm. The FFL will identify the corporation or other entity on the Form 4 application by the legal name as the transferee. No individual name, such as the name of the president of the corporation, shall be included in identifying the transferee. The Articles of Incorporation or other documentation establishing the legal entity must be included with the Form 4 application. The documentation must identify a point of contact for the corporation or other entity and must be sufficient for ATF to establish the legitimacy of the existence of the corporation or other entity. If the firearm being transferred is a machinegun, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or destructive device, an officer or director of the corporation or other entity must complete item 15 on the reverse side of the Form 4. Items 13, 14, 16, and 17 of the Form 4 do not require completion for a transfer to a corporation or other entity nor is the submission of ATF F 5330.20, Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(, required. Procedure after approval Approved NFA transfers are exempt from the NICS background check. So, when the FFL arranges for the disposition of the NFA firearm to a representative of the corporation or other entity, only the ATF Form 4473, Firearms Transaction Record, must be completed by the representative of the corporation or other entity. All other recordkeeping requirements of the Gun Control Act must be met. http://www.atf.gov/publications/newsletters/ffl/ffl-newsletter-2008-11.pdf November 2008 FFL Newsletter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Coolness! (not that I wouldn't put a new trigger in an SBR anyway) Now ATF is bound to keep that, they put it in writing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Just a question for those knowledgeable in the TRUST "LAW" lingo... When you amend a trust by what method do you go about this? Add a Amendment Notes page stating what page, section & paragraph your rewriting or just rewrite the entire trust to what you now want it to read...or something else I'm not aware of? Thanks, Gunny NR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Allow me to blow the dust off this dormant thread and add a bit of relevant information. This article reads a bit like an advertiesment for a specific lawyer, but it does have alot of good information about NFA trusts. http://www.gunsumerreports.com/review_nfa_gun_trust_p1.php Edited February 19, 2013 by Darth Saigus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
