Form 1 - Application to Make & Register a Firearm


Recommended Posts

I'm posting this because I need help and hopefully we can summarize all of the info into a single post that can be a sticky.

 

I have tried to use the instruction sheet but it's like some questions to not correspond with the sheet and some question need clarification.

 

If this works I post consolidated thread and then maybe a mod can stick it

 

 

I'll start and if you think you have a better way of saying something let me know and I'll edit it.

 

___________________________________________________________________________

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

You must submit the Form 1 printed on a single page, front and back.

 

You must submit 2 copies but they must be signed in ink. You can not submit a copy with a photocopied signature.

 

 

Do you put "N/A" in any area that is non applicable to you. In the military you hade to have something in every spot so I'm guessing it might be the same for this.

How are muzzle devices handle in this situation? For instance, if I permanently attach a flash holder doe sit count toward the length of the barrel? What about muzzle device that screw on?

If perm then count it as barrel. If removable, then don't count it in the length.

Question 4h - Additional Description

 

No clue, what's good to put in here?

Just leave this blank. Some say to add any other marking that appear on the gun. Some say to add any additional calibers here. For the S-12, just leave it blank.

Question 4i - State Why You Intend To Make Firearm

 

No clue, what's good to put in here?

"Investment and collection" or "For all lawful purposes" seem to be the two most popular. Don't try any cute shit like, "Zombies"...although it has been approved b4. There's some eastern state (I forget which) that has some strange policy that you can only use "research and development".

Question 4j - Is this firearm being reactivated

 

No clue???

No

 

 

 

That's all I'll worry about for now

 

Don't forget, you need two sets of prints and a cert of compliance too.

Regarding question 4j:

 

The Form 1 is also used to reactivate a registered DEWAT (DEactivated WAr Trophy) and turn it into a functional firearm. Prior to 1968, you could buy a welded-up machine gun by mail order and they weren't even regarded as firearms. After GCA '68, these were required to be registered like functional MGs and many were. If you have one that's still welded up and inoperable you can file a Form 1 to reactivate it.

 

Non-functional DEWATs transfer on a Form 5 (no tax). If you have reactivated one on a From 1, it will then transfer on a Form 4 (tax paid).

Also include a "Certificate of Compliance" or Form 5330.20. Some examiners require it, some don't. It's easier to just fill one out and send it than it is to get a phone call that says you need to send it out after waiting 4 months. Just sayin'.

The over all length should be measured muzzle to butt stock with the butt stock FULLY EXTENDED.

 

Edit. I'm an idiot. I misread your original post.
