Form 1 Questions...

General Firearms NFA
1

I’m filling out my Form 1 to make my SBR. And I have questions regarding the following;

4a: Name and Location of Original Manufacturer of Firearm (Receiver)
Since it’s a CMMG lower, should I put CMMG, Inc. Fayette, MO. or does it need to include the full address?

4b: Type of Firearm to be made
Short Barreled Rifle (that’s a no brainer)

4c: Caliber, Gauge or Size
For now, I want to stick a 5.56/.223 upper once approved, but what if I want to also have a 6.8 spc. Can I put multiple calibers or do I have to specify all possible calibers?

4d: Model
AR-15

4e: Length of barrel
10.3"

4f: Overall
Since I have a collapsible stock on here, do I give the overall length with the stock at its shortest or the total maximum length with the stock extended? Example: 10.3" + 16.5" = 26.8" (with stock at shortest)

Any other things that you guys can help with to make sure that this doesn’t get sent back for information not given or given incorrectly would greatly help.

Thanks in advance.

T.D.

4b. I’d put “Short Bbl Rifle” (small diff, but I like putting it the way ATF does)

4d. I’d put the model rolled on the receiver. (M15-A2, for example on one of mine)

4f. Anything reasonable will be OK. I’ve read both full stock extension, and full stock closed position. In any case it’s not a critical measurement. I forget what I put on mine… I think fully extended.

The other stuff looks good though.

What about 4c? Can I put on there “multiple calibers”?

Oops! That’s the most important one!!

I MOST DEFINITELY would NOT do that. The common stance here is get it approved in .223, and write a letter stating your intent later.

Awesome! Now I have to get my passport pictures, fingerprint, and signature of the CLEO, and it’s off to limbo land for the next couple months.

Thanks!

Plan ahead…take extra fingerprint cards for future transfers!!!
That way, on your next build, you can just drop off for your CLEO and not
have to bother to be fingerprinted again. In my area that is the biggest hassle.
My Sheriff said the talk around the water cooler was what I going to do with all those fingerprint cards??
