Form1 returned for corrections.....can I change other stuff

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

Form1 returned for corrections.....can I change other stuff

Post by daviscustom »

Just got my paperwork back for correction today. I just abbreviated some things in the engraving info that I can't.

Wondered if I could change other things related to the dimensions of the suppressor while it was here? I was originally planning to do an integral and for some reason I put down a barrel length too. Now I don't plan to do an integral, so I would like to put N/A in the barrel length box. I considered changing the suppressor length too since I plan to do a screw on can now.

Is getting this back in the mail my chance to make other changes besides the corrections?

I didn't get home until after their office was closed, so I won't be able to call them until Tuesday :cry: .

Since it hasn't been approved I'd say yes

Another "leave 4h. blank" learned the hard way. (same way i learned BTW :) )

Call & ask on Tues. I wouldn't want to risk it having to go back in queue if that's their process for changes other than corrections they specify.

Either way, be sure to post a follow-up of how it turns out. Others will want to know the answer.

I'm thinking if you can make fairly significant changes (caliber & length), then get an approved form back within a week or two, it would almost be worthwhile to send one in intentionally jacked up and have it on hand - ready to go for whatever project you're into 8+ months from now. :twisted: With my luck I'd just get a rejected form & $200 check 8 months later...

I think that is the safest thing to wait and call them on Tuesday, but I was hoping someone would know the answer from experience.

I guess I will know in a few days.

I don't want to change calibers, just eliminate an unnecessary barrel length entry .... and maybe shorten the suppressor length.

Spoke with my examiner yesterday an he said he was fine with me making changes to N/A for the barrel length an shortened the overall length.

Your mileage may very.

You can change the length of a SBR/SBS as it doesn't affect the registration, just like how you can change uppers without issues.

You can change the length of a silencer that has not been approved.

I have been turned down for wanting to change the caliber of a silencer though.

when you send it back put the examiners name on the envelope.

also, resign and date it... then you can have a form approved in less than 10 days like me.
