Is there a way to amend my trust to make my trust name shorter for evgraving on my receiver?

No, once your Form is approved thats what you are stuck with, unless you get a new trust with the shorter name.

Your Form was approved with the long name if you change that you are changing who actually owns the items.

ATF considers a new name for your trust a transfer.

Then there is no AMENDING the Trust, just rewrite it with the new shorter name.

Mine doesn't, but don't some states require some kind of registration of the trust?
