MoHawk: I looked at this issue earlier this year. Yes, you can do it. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1. You're handing over a copy of your family's trust to the government. I got a second trust specifically just for NFA items. I prefer to keep my trust as private as possible. 2. It's a lot of p...

For my cans I put "hearing protection."

1. NFA Item: AAC M4-2000 Suppressor 2. Form Type: Form 4 3. Transferee Type: Trust 4. Forms Sent: 10 Feb 2011 5. Check Cashed:16 Feb 2011 6. Pending Date: 17 March 2011 7.

Not that I’d get rid of one. . . ATF-p-5320-8 Page 21, paragraph. 2.5.1 Removal of machineguns and silencers from the scope of the NFA. Machineguns are defined to include the receiver of a machinegun and the definition of silencer includes each component of a silencer . Therefore, to remove these we...

Most currently used military helicopters these days have two engines reducing the possibility of having to do an autorotation. Yes, forward airspeed and altitude are a pilot's friend.

Looks like a blast!

I would think to question why we pay a “special” tax instead of regular sales tax. If I buy a gun or gun parts I pay a sales tax just like I do when buying most other daily life items. A $500 suppressor and a state tax rate of 7% is a total tax of $35. They’re aligned with other purchases now. Adjus...

I'm just getting into NFA (waiting on stamps). I'm most annoyed by the 3-4 month wait for approval. Sure, I'd love also to see the tax go away, but I realize the current political reality. The $200 stamp was put there to be a barrior many years ago, and I'd hate to see it adjusted for inflation: ---...

Gents:

I set up an NFA only trust and I’m now waiting for my stamps to show up. Much more comfortable with this than handing over a copy of my full family estate trust to the government.

Thanks for your input.

Mainly hearing protection, but I have to admit there is a “coolness” factor. I managed to protect my hearing well for 20 years around Army helicopters, and want to keep protecting them. The idea of ending up in a self defense situation within the house with the blast confined anywhere near my daught...

"Or the knuckleheads that say "Times have changed." Change our Constitution? An agenda will come with that. The Declaration of Independence: “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. . .” Some say there is n...

"Banning high-capacity magazines strikes us as a common-sense policy change. . ."

And who’s ‘common sense’ would we use??? Sounds like an agenda.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to set up a new firearms only trust.

Folks: I’m doing my research for my first diving into class 3 items. I’ve been looking at both the traditional way of filling out the ATF Form 4, as well as using my revocable living trust. My living trust is not just set up for firearms, but is my family estate trust. I am concerned about using it ...

Ordered! Perfect timing.
