imagine if you had to do this level of paperwork to vote, or to hire a lawyer, or publish an article on politics? i still dont understand why this is constitutional. can we place a tax on a fair trial? how about hiring a lawyer? or a "poll tax" on voting?

The NFA IS an infringement of our 2nd Amendment....by definition. It Infringes one of our Guaranteed Rights in the Constitution, making us Pay the Federal government $200 per item and 'Hope they let us' purchase this firearm or part? B.S. The problem is WE ALLOW IT. We foolishly follow any law they put forth.....because we've lost the Balls to stand up 'TOGETHER' and say No. If 10,50 or 100 million of us got together and publicly stated we will no longer acknowledge this unlawful firearms act, AND.....(AND) we completely stood behind each other as they tried to arrest some as examples.... They could not arrest us all, and THAT level of public push back changes things quickly !

[@codemiesterbeats]

​@@Alan-in-Bama Agreed, people are more concerned with paying their rent. People amaze me when you tell them some seriously egregious story you've heard on the news or something. You give them a short run down of WHY it is such a bad thing and they give you THAT LOOK... You know, that look they give you when they basically say " There's nothing I can do about it, besides I'm dead on the inside already" lol

That's because if a rifle has a barrel shorter than 16" it automatically can increase your K/D ratio by 1300% and is classed as a super ghost gun killing machine designed by the Nazis. Read up before making such an ignorant post, moron.

Thank you so much for providing clear and concise instructions on something like this. I am sure filling out a Form 1 is a cakewalk for many, but everyone started off with no experience. Its efforts like this that truly help the community. Thank you very much Adam! BTW, you should have my vote in your office by now. Good luck in 2018!

Ok, I never comment but you earned it. I am university professor and also have a KZbin Channel and business and I have to say well done.

Thank you for making this really helpful and easy to understand. NFA is BS but at least good people like you make it do-able.

[@GeauxRussGeaux]

I like The Legal Brief more than TGC News, mainly because every episode of TGC News is mostly full of content I've already been discussing ad nauseum on social media. I'm still a fan, I just "get more" from The Legal Brief because it is usually an informative topic that most don't research extensively for themselves.

[@DanE-ew1yt]

GeauxRussGeaux I have to disagree. At least until there is a rediculous amount of emphasis on "crush". Enough to make people wonder if there's something wrong with Adam.

[@Nvdasmth1]

We need to do away with the1934 Falstead act Under FDR,.the 1968 Gun control act, under LBJ. When Miller was KIA, in a Gun Battle with the Feds, oh how convenient that was, not to show up In Pearson to defend his Suit against the US on SB Shotgun and ever since this Burden is upon us TAX payers.

[@jsills78]

For a suppressor I have a few questions. What do you put for the manufacture name and address if you are building? What do you put as the serial number. Also what all has to be engraved once you are approved and finish building?

[@swabbyboy]

I just got my form 1 back. It took 7 and a half months. Tax stamp $200, PP photo $15.00, fingerprinting $15.00, engraving $65.00(Rip off). Total: $295

[@GarthKlaus]

The question of caliber on suppressors keep coming up. Remember that you are registering the suppressor, not the gun(s) you might use it on. Use the caliber of the suppressor, check with the manufacturer to be most accurate. If you made it yourself, use the diameter of the exit hole or of the largest round you can safely fire thru it.

[@awv31]

How do you measure overall length without assembling the SBR and fully extending the stock?

[@HickLif3]

Maybe use an existing rifle as reference? Measure it and subtract the barrel length difference

[@seductivesnake1]

You caught them there 👍🏻

[@CarsFitnessMoney]

Maybe build it as a pistol and transfer it to being an SBR

[@matteosreisman]

@@CarsFitnessMoney to do this youd have to initially purchase the buffer tube because being in posession of a stock than can be readily installed is as illegal as per ATF letters

[@Asdf-wf6en]

4:20 can your reason be for silencing the sound of farts? Also is a fart muffler legally considered a silencer. The muffler on a car doesn't need a form 1 so I imagine a fart muffler wouldn't either. I think this might be a highly useful legal loophole.

[@countdooku7020]

THANK YOU !!!!! I have trouble reading sometimes and this really help me out thank you 🙏

[@2wheeleddemon999]

Thanks for this. I was always discouraged about getting a suppressor until now.

[@damoncrowfeather4655]

Form 1 is for building your own suppressor, not the purchase of a suppressor.. which would require a Form 4.

[@chrisbo66]

I currently have a trust with a few NFA items in it, but that was before the ATF changes. Now, it seems the trust just makes it more difficult. The next NFA item for me will be as an individual... unless we can get some of these rediculous laws changed! REPEAL THE NFA!!

[@andrewmamrus2226]

can you do a sbr and suppressor in one? or would i need to fill out two separate forms?

[@FuckThisSiteNow]

2 forms $200 each

[@utoobrandomness7197]

If you plan on having the suppressor able to be removed, then yes... (2) tax stamps ($200/ea), if youre going to fusion weld the suppressor to the barrel of a SBR; you can use the additional barrel length of the suppressor to overcome the need to call something a SBR & would just be (1) tax stamp instead

[@mrjamiebowman]

those are two separate items with two separate serial numbers ... assuming your can attaches to the barrel in some way.

[@Tula1940_LB]

If the suppressor is permanently attached to the barrel and the total length from the face of the closed bolt to muzzle end is greater than 16" then it would just be a silencer. If it is not permanently attached or if the total length is less than 16" it would be a silencer and a short barrel rifle.

[@HandyMan657]

Thank you.

Hey, thanks for the vid; it was very helpful.. Mind clarifying something for me please? I was under the impression that you cannot (legally) complete the build of a SBR (attach upper to lower) prior to approval of your tax stamp/Form1. If that's the case, how do you accurately get the OAL?

[@Tigbead]

I want to know to? Do people attach, measure. And then take it apart again??

[@TheSkeptic000]

Thank you

[@rawouch]

[@01SVTVenom]

Great work as always. One quick question. Is there any legal burden of proof necessary for the CLEO notification? Worth sending it certified to the county CLEO?

[@mnadamn]

Sean Wolff this is a great question, I have always given mine in person, the first time they had no clue what to do, I wouldn't be surprised if it was thrown away. That is also why I had the person at the desk sign a slip stated it was received.

[@Marty48034]

Yep. This. I had the desk stamp and sign my copy received. But as was also mentioned, I took it in person.

Ugghh what a PITA. I wish we had the good Ole days of efile. Perhaps some day I will file another but the hassle isn't worth in my view. However if I didn't already have a number of F1's approved pre 41F I would most likely go through the process.

[@vulcan1358]

Since NFA items use your mailing address for engraving purposes, what happens if you move or have to change address? Do you have to get your firearm engraved again?

[@8SiCK0LAKE1]

Id imagen it not having to change. Like when we buy a firearm, we don't have to change the stampings from where it was made.

[@NYRM1974]

We should form a petition to REPEAL THE FOLLOWING. The NFA of 1934 the 1986 Ban the 1968 Ban push for the UNITED STATES CARRY ACT. To allow you to carry a loaded firearm anywhere in AMERICA without fear of being arrested.

Honestly if I knew this shit was that easy I would've made an sbr a long time ago , Draco here I come!!

[@r0nb0h0ju]

Adam, I was wearing the same shirt today. I think you should add an "Expert Tip" for those with their 80% completed. "Manufactured by "ME" Made in the Republic of Texas". (Because God Bless Texas) Would they accept a non-existent place for manufacture? If you need a separate notification to the BATFE for a second caliber, can you submit that with the Form 1? How many signatures have you gotten for the NRA BoD?

[@bigdg85]

Thanks guys, this is awesome

[@slowhitEJ1]

For the "serial #.. block- 4g I believe. If we're building a supressor, do we fill in whatever serial we want, will one be assigned? Blank?

[@boringoldman]

What manufacture do you put if you are the one making a silencer? And where do I get fingerprint cards?

[@utoobrandomness7197]

a lil out in the woods but... #1 Do SBR's not require any additional serializing? (I ask since Im planning on SBR'ing a Kriss vector & theres not really any real estate for this above & beyond whats already in place) #2 What does the typical schema of serials look like as an individual as opposed a trust, or an LLC that does NOT have an FFL?

[@cberge8]

For the two fingerprint cards, should 2 originals be sent or two copies of the same original card?

[@knottreel]

If you are sending more than one application, can you include both in the same envelope, along with one check for the total?

[@DJCOLLIE]

You're awesome man! Thanks for this video!

[@TBrunoLouis]

Here's a question, do you need a picture of your actual passport or a copy of a passport that you can amend on the document? That's what I am having trouble with.

[@A48WillyzGuy]

This may be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway. Since you can't classify a suppressor as "multi" caliber any longer, would it be an issue to use a home built 30 cal can on a 223 cal rifle?

[@The_BlackFish]

How long does this entire process take nowadays. I wanna get a witness protection 870

[@danegeeding5210]

I want to SBR my sam7k-44...But DAMN after watching this, way too much work!

[@Iancwilliamson]

This might be a dumb question but What if you recently moved but have no updated your address on your license? Would you have to update your license before filling the form out?

[@L1LegoAnimations]

So if I wanted to legally manufacture an oil filter or something into a suppressor, how would I go about that?

[@shaneadams5456]

How do you choose a CLEO ? County or town?

[@jonesperkins1382]

I was thinking about turning my hunting shotgun a Mossberg 535 into an SBS. Would I measure the overall length with the full-length stock on it or with the pistol grip stock on it?

[@AlphaDad]

what about home built silencers? for manufacturer info

[@Fl0wtrader77]

Can you create a silencer with a form 1 under 21 years of age?? Or does the ATF typically not approve those?

[@kenithbarron9415]

The bad said... u have to register your stuff.. so when martial lae comes and the troops and law enforcement comes to disarm you.. they know exactly who to go to first.

[@coupledyetivonvanderburg5385]

So, this is just if you're making an NFA firearm, like an SBR/SBS, but if I were to make a standard, full length shotgun from scratch, no form, right?

[@Jetmech1085]

It’s depressing how this unconstitutional regulation goes unchecked .. this is ridiculous.

[@JohnShaw26.2]

Adam, can we get a video explaining the new form 4?

[@TheGunCollective]

[@mitchellfay5725]

Do you need multiple forms for multiple things like a 200 tax stamp for sbr AND another 200 tax stamp for a silencer?

[@davioncooper1001]

Same question

[@x101st]

Hi! Great info! Question on Box 4b. It said see definition 2.K. I looked on the back of the forms that had definitions, and could not find 2.K. So, in 4.b, do we spell it out (Short Barreled Rifle), or just SBR? Can you clarify this? Thanks!

[@ThePriceIsRising]

Do you need a one tax stamp per gun or silencer?

[@Darkhorse1901]

THANKS GREAT JOB

[@SighsInternally]

is this still for suppressors? I wouldnt say call a can a "firearm"

[@canadian8764]

Is 4e supposed to be the barrel length on the gun currently or the one you want to install?

[@a.c.garcia9983]

So on box 4a. The manufacturer would just be who made the lower receiver correct. Say you are building your own gun.

[@DbBoomstick]

What do you put for the overall length if the stock is interchangeable between two stocks, one pistol grip and the other a full stock?

[@brutus5380]

Curious how up to date this is.

[@fredjackson8408]

Just bought a MP40 replica and I'll need to NFA it for the folding stock mod...would that count as a short barrel rifle?

[@boringoldman]

Can’t have different calibers with a silencer or move states with one?

[@38jmdff]

If a 80% lower pistol is made by an individual, would a silencer permit be issued? There is no manufacturer information to put onto the form...?

[@brianshrum6685]

So.......correct me if I am wrong, but, to fill the form out accurately with overall length, serial number, etc, i need all parts to make my SBR, but, I cant legally make it without the NFA Stamp?

[@tomorrowtactical]

So either way, individual or a trust (responsible person), you have to get fingerprinted now? Do you still have to get the lower receiver engraved?

[@fattigla]

As for the CLEO notification, can anyone clarify how we notify them? Do I just need to mail my CLEO a copy of the form 1 or does it need to be hand delivered? Do they need fingerprint cards also?

[@RG_116]

Thanks for the info. You didn’t state if doing thru a trust or legal entity, if we had to send a copy of the trust documents to the ATF and/or CLEO. It’s not on the checklist at the end. Just want to confirm if we do send it or not and to who. Please advise, thanks.

[@josephdeliz3455]

Can't believe I'll be filling this out in the state of Texas....Goddammit

[@klowntech]

So you have to send in your SBR assembled to have it engraved? Is that real life?

[@ricksorber8343]

If I chop the barrel on my shotgun, does that make me the manufacturer or did Remington still make it?

[@minipeppers6928]

How do I know the overall length if I haven’t built my SBR yet?

[@peterpandora620]

What's the fastest way to get fingerprint cards?

[@dr.covfefephd740]

Do you have to do anything if you move, and the address in line 3b is no longer current?

[@timsmith2193]

do you buy the gun, then fill this out, then wait and take delivery? Kind of confused on the order since it sounds like you need the gun to fill out some of the form?

[@Pk-io6xe]

This is only for making or converting a NFA gun

[@JustinFromBSing]

Ok so if I’m building an sbr starting with a stripped lower, do I need to buy the lower first so that I can fill out the serial number brand ect? If not then what do I do? Also if I haven’t bought all of the parts do I need to know my configuration of parts I will use so I know the overall length? If I buy the parts before getting my forum 1 back then I will technically be in possession of illegal items right? That’s the only parts that have been confusing me and keeping me from doing my sbr.

[@henrydlr8531]

So when making a suppressor I don’t have to fill out 4A? Also what about 4G when making your own suppressor since there is no original serial number?

[@jediraptor07]

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm confused on one thing: do you need to attach a passport photo to each copy of the Form 1, i.e. both copies going to ATF as well as the copy to the CLEO, one photo to ATF and one to CLEO, or just one photo to ATF?

[@R3AP3R4M]

for my form 4 both ATF copies needed a pic...hope this helps
