Any help with form 1?

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.

Any help with form 1?

Post by kimberkid »

The last 3 stamps I've gotten were by e-file with a trust but when I was trying to do a form 1 on a suppressor I'm wanting to build from scratch, I put my name in as "manufacturer" the program said manufacturer unknown and wouldn't let me progress any further I called the BATFE and the guy that answered the phone didn't have a clue, so I emailed "ask the experts" and still waiting to hear back.

Any help from the brain trust here?

TIA!

You have to use "MFI" as the mfr, in the drop down.

Thank you T-Rex ... Much appreciated!

I'm guessing MFI is an acronym ... I can't figure out what it Stands for?

What does MFI stand for or mean?

I have never done a e-form and have no desire to. ( I like the real stamp and preferred the originals over the new)

So I'm just wondering.
And on my paper F1's all of them approved 4a just has my name and addy.

It is actually FMI you are suppose to be entering for the manufacture.
