So I'm thinking of getting my first SBR and have been reading all kinds of threads, some with conflicting answers. I was going to originally build one as an individual, but, the more I look into it, it seems that a trust is the way to go so when I go the item can be "owned/transferred" to another individual. Am I getting that correct?
So far, what I am seeing needed is..
1. A trust, is it really as simple as filling one out online and going for it?
2. Fingerprint cards to send in with my form 1.
3. Item (receiver) needs to be engraved with either the trusts info or individuals info if going that route. The individuals name or trust, town and state?
4. Form 1 needs to be done and sent in. I see I can do that online after getting an account with the ATF, but do I get an individual account or make an account under the trust? And even with an online efile account it seems that I still need to send in hard copies of my fingerprints and anyone else named on the trust? Or are those not needed if going through a trust vs individual?
5. Copies of my LTC and anyone else listed on my trust sent in as well?
What am I missing?
Plan is to make an AR style SBR with a 5.56/.223 upper as well as getting a .22 LR upper to swap around for plinking fun. I've already got a stripped lower that has been sitting in the safe for years just waiting to be built into something. Thinking it's time I made something of it.
