I really need advice!

[WooD]

Just got off the phone with the ATF, and was transferred to 3 different people that told me 3 different things.

I was going to use the online PDF for my form 1's. I'm sending 2 of them in the same envelope.

1. I was told I could use the online PDF form 1, but then I read somewhere it has to be one page front, and back. Nobody at ATF could give me an answer to that.

2. I was told that if I mailed 2 forms together I'd not need 4 fingerprint cards, but from what I've read you need 2 sets for each form.

3. I've read I also need to fill out a citizenship form http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5330-20.pdf no one I talked to had even heard of this form.

4. I asked if there was a certain number of digits for the serial number I pick for my can, all 3 "THOUGHT" I could use any amount of numbers I want. I don't want to send in a form that I think is OK.

Sorry for the clueless questions, but this is my first.

Form 1 must be 1 page front and back.
You only need 2 fingerprint cards per envelope. ( You can submit more than 1 form 1 in the same envelope)
You need 1 citizenship declaration.
Serial # is your choice.

The BATFE can send you the forms you need plus the fingerprint card you need. The other form and card is from the state.A local class 3 dealer can help you if he is a nice guy.He will know about the citizenship card if needed also.

When the first page of the Form 1 comes out of the printer just flip it over a print the second page on the back
And yes, it must be 1 page printed front and back and not on two separate pieces of paper

On the serial number thing, I really don’t remember but I think you need three digits. Even if you don’t need three, it looks better anyway. I always use my initials(trust initials)and three digits such as ABM 001
It looks better that way

I think the most important thing to make others aware of is that you have to talk to the NFA BRANCH not just plain ole ATF. I have never been steered wrong by the people that do it for a living(as far as Forms and getting things approved, we won't talk about interpretations etc...)
