June 28th is the cut off date for additions to your current NFA Trust

"The new regulations will amend the BATF’s Form 1 (for making a NFA firearm such as a SBR) and Form 4 (for acquiring a NFA device such as a suppressor) to require an FBI fingerprint card and a 2″x2″ current photo for each “Responsible Persons” listed on a Trust, Partnership, Corporation, or other Entity applicant.

“Responsible Persons” is very broadly defined to include “any grantor, trustee, beneficiary, partner, member, officer, director, board member, owner, shareholder or manager who possesses, directly or indirectly, the power or authority under any trust instrument, contract, agreement, article, certificate, bylaw, or instrument or under State law, to receive, possess, ship, transport, deliver, transfer or otherwise dispose of a firearm for, or on behalf of, the trust or entity.”

Reports that the new regulation will NOT apply to trust “beneficiaries” are wrong, because the new regulations specifically include “beneficiaries,” unless there is specific language in your Trust Document that conforms to the language of the new regulations. NFA Firearms Trust’s trust document has already anticipated this rule change, which was first published in 2013, so its document fully conforms to protect “beneficiaries.”

The only good news is that the current Chief Law Enforcement Officer (“CLEO”) approval requirement has been eliminated and downgraded into a notification provision, requiring each applicant to simply send a completed copy of the Form 1 or 4 to their CLEO."


So hurry up and get your Form 1's and Form 4's in now.
