Make sure that you get original (not photocopies) FBI FD-258 fingerprint cards & use BLACK ink when you fill them out. The "Routing Stamp" must be correct for this application. Measure the barrel length WITHOUT the birdcage flashhider unless the FH is "permanently affixed" (blind pinned/welded). I order my forms directly from BAFTE; that way you get the "current" revisions & avoid getting your paperwork kicked back. Fingerprint cards can be ordered from them as well. The "Maker" shown on the Form 1 MUST engrave his name & location on the weapon, usually the receiver in a conspicuous location at a specified depth & size. Abbreviations that used to be OK for the identifying markings can be cause for non-compliance. Only one "Certificate of Citizenship Compliance" is required to be submitted. I ALWAYS use a personal check for the $200 "Making Tax"; that way I can track progress through by bank online or over the phone with prompts. In my area, WALGREENS, does color passport photos in duplicate for cheap on Wednesdays... just a thought! I ALWAYS overnight my mail package USPS ONLY! OK, it's $16.50, BUT... it won't get LOST in the shuffle!!!!!! IF it doesn't get there within 24hrs, it's FREE. Yes, it's happened... heheheeee Make sure that everything is LEGIBLE! Proof read it & proof read it again. Have someone with experience review your form before sending it on its merry way. The slightest error or omission will be cause for aggravating delays that can be avoided with a little diligence. IF you build an U.N.C.L.E. Special modular carbine without a "short" barrel (under 16" OL) & the weapon is at least 26" OL fully assembled, it IS considered a Title 1 (conventional) rifle & NFA registrat ion is NOT required. NOTE: the mere possession of a normal P.38 barrel with these other components CAN be considered "constructive possession" of an illegal SBR (short barreled rifle). In other words... IF the carbine's barrel assembly is monolithic (including a non-detachable "silencer") all the way back (non-segmented barrel extensions) to the chamber's throat & it's at least 16", you're good to go without a lot of paper, tax & hassle. However, if you play games with the ATF & lose, it could cost you up to $250K in fines & 10 years at Leavenworth! GOOD LUCK! stymie [/quote]
