Hi everyone, been reading a lot, but have not found the answers I am looking for.
So I am building my first SBR and want to make as few (none) mistakes as possible while filling out the new form 1.
2 Questions then maybe more to follow:
Do I need to fill out a form 23 if I am filing as an individual?
I dont want to confuse the ATF with additional paperwork if it isn't necessary. Im assuming this is needed when filing it as a trust?
Second question. In years past (2010s) I have been seeing advice of people walk in their form 1 to their local PD, Sheriff, etc. to get a CLEO to sign off on it. Now It would appear that is no longer the way it is done? It states on every copy on form 1: "Information for the CLEO: No action on your part is required. However, should you have info that may disqualify this person from making possessing firearm please contact NFA Division...." So Do I not need to get this signed before sending to the NFA? Just send in the copy to the Sheriff, and the 2 copies to the NFA and be done?
Sorry this is long winded. I wanted to be as clear about my questions as possible. I tried calling the BTAFE, I will try again tomorrow. Thank you all for advice.
And in case anyone is wondering why I am doing this as an individual and not a trust is because I have no living relatives left, or anyone that I would want to lend my firearms too.
