Thanks Shawn.

I used some software tonight that I bought two years ago and it tool more time to install it than to create the trust. This is the only way for provate people to buy NFA.

Good resources hear

Also do some searches on http://www.snipershide.net in the sidearms & suppressors forum. There are several threads there.

And yes any NFA item can be registered to the trust.

Aaron, actually its Craig :D

And yes I used Quicken will maker to construct my trust. Tons of pro's to doing your transfers on a trust but one of the most obvious is that your ATF wait time will be reduced because there is no background check or fingerprinting to do. My latest one only took 9 weeks when everyone else has been averaging 12-14....or more.

AR15.com has tons of info regarding Trusts and Class 3s. I thought about doing a Quicken Trust for my future Class 3's, but have "heard" the BATF is starting to scrutinize those very closely now and are declaring many of those "Do-it-Yourself" Quicken Trusts invalid, however YMMV.

Long story short, if your CLEO will sign a Form 1 or 4, then that's the best way to go.

I have been considering a NFA Trust. I got hold of the gun trust lawyer, and he said it would cost about $600. I talked to Kgunz11 about it. he sent me one with instructions, and your only cost will be the cost of getting it notorized.

PM me with your email address, and I will send you a copy with instructions.

Your mileage will vary.

I would highly recommend having a competent lawyer create your trust for you.

While a DIY trust may pass BATF muster, it may very well cause you, your family, and other trustees problems down the line. Particularly when you die. The best person I know of for this sort of thing is Mark Barnes he is out of DC, his phone is (202) 626-0089.

Not affiliated in any way just a happy customer.

Additionally anyone who plans to own NFA items should seriously consider a trust, EVEN IF their CLEO is NFA friendly.

I am an attorney and have done some investigation of NFA Trusts. They have a number of advantages, and I have put together a letter to explain some of them. I will be happy to provide the info to any Forum member at no charge.

Using a Quicken trust has a number of pitfalls:

I am in favor of doing things the inexpensive way whenever possible, but I don't like to take chances when a mistake can result in fines, prison time, and loss of the right to have guns.
