Engraving, when and why?

jtischauser · Feb 10, 2012

I am a class 3 noob. When, why, and where do you have to engrave firearms? I have an SBS in my name that I'd like to transfer to my new trust. I also just bout my first suppressor yesterday. Thanks Cold Hand Arms!

Engraving is only necessary when you are the builder of the NFA item. If you are just transferring an item to your trust it is done with a form 4. The person who built it or modified it into an nfa item had to do this on a form 1 & the engraving was done at that time.

Like Tony said. You only engrave it when you're the one building it.

Jesse, from what I understand, it's going to cost you $200 to transfer it from your name to your trust.

I know. I really screwed up not getting the trust setup in the first place.

I wouldn't waste the money to switch it if it's already in your name

I wouldn't either. What can did you buy? The wait right now is horrible, somewhere around 5+ months. I have 4 forms pending and it sucks!

I bought a Sparrow for my Nordic 22 upper.

I would just keep in in your name. I have 3 items in my name and 3 in my trust.

I need to get a threaded 22/45 as well.

I just picked up a GSG 1911 .22 w/ threaded barrel today from Tommy at Sooner State pawn. Can't wait to put my can on it and play!

Been wanting one of the 22/45 rugers with the rails to put a red dot on too!

I was drooling over the tactical solution booth at SHOT. They make some cool stuff.

I bought one of those about 6 months ago. It's an awesome little pistol with a Primary Arms micro green dot on top.
I've put my 9mm can on it a few times and with subsonic ammo, it's like a pellet gun.

Shooting suppressed .22 is a blast. Here is one of my favorites:

I want one. Will make the perfect vermin getter and plinker.

Here's a shitty picture of mine with my 9mm can attached. I took the bottom rail off because it's gay to have a flashlight rail on a .22

***holy big picture batman pic removed****

I used to think the same thing, but I would use a .22 for critters at night. And a railed light would be useful.

I used to be the biggest pistol rail hater, but I love the rail on my Glock. I won't have a nightstand gun without night sights and a weaponlight again.
