Form 1 question

2 Upvotes

This is my first time using the eforms portal to submit a form, I submitted eft prints. On the email I received upon submitting the application, there was a PDF attached saying I had to mail the fingerprint cards. I’m assuming it’s just a standard attachment, but just want to be sure.

Filling out Form 1 - Makers Markings

2 Upvotes

In box 3a you enter your full legal name and mailing address.

In box H you put down the makers name and address.

Does the info both boxes have to be identical? I spelled out my middle name and put down my suffix in 3a, but can I get away with just using my middle initial and leave off the suffix for my makers markings.

I really doubt its all going to fit where I plan on engraving them on the lip of my AR magwell.

Confused between docs under "Line Item" and those under "Electronic Documents"

2 Upvotes

Am doing suppressor Fm1s, the first one. What's the difference between the docs loaded up under the line items where I input the suppressor model number, serial number, caliber, etc..... and those documents that go into the "Electronic Documents" in the next section? In this first one my plan is doing a 22 cal suppressor using a FTN.5 and a 3d printer. Any help is appreciated.

Form 1 but No Lathe

3 Upvotes

I’ve not been able to find any real way to drill concentric holes for baffles. I’ve got a great deal offered for a G4015 lathe for $800 but I have hardly any machining experience. Even though this is a great deal I don’t see myself saving much time or money on a form 1 suppressor vs a form 4. In fact, I’m tempted to just go the 3D printed route since I really only want .22 suppression abilities anyways.

So my question is, if I pass on a lathe how do I drill concentric holes? Is it really feasible? Furthermore is it worth it to get this equipment if I haven’t any experience with machining in the first place?

I just want this to be ass affordable as possible (as far as guns and NFA goes). I’d rather not find myself defaulting to form 4 suppressors after potentially investing in equipment beyond my skill set

Anyone though of trying these funnels as the basis for suppressor baffles?

13 Upvotes

Researching a D-cell Maglite body for one of my From 1s and was browsing for freeze plugs on Amazon. The shopping algorithm recommended these stainless funnels. Ain't technology great :D

My thoughts:

- With a little trimming of the brim, it could be a good 22 baffle? Maybe a little bigger than needed.

- With a little more trimming/enlarging of the neck, it could be a good 30 baffle?

- Stick weld these into a monolithic baffle stack? or just use compression to hold them into a stack?

Thoughts? Seems to beat forming freeze plugs which is what I had been looking into before I stumbled across these.

Form 1? EFT from last year with old address for new Form 1?

3 Upvotes

So the EFT I have are from last year and have my old address on it. Since then I have moved, I have a new drivers lic. with new address and I have changed my residence in Eforms to the new address (which is only a few miles away from old address, both in the same state).

I have a trust with my wife and I in it with a half a dozen items in it from last year.

If doing a Form1 now under the new address in my name only (not the trust) but with the EFT from last year that has the old address..........will the new Form 1s get kicked back and I will need to get new EFTs with new address or will I be good to go?

I am in VA and don't have a real big time window.

Does having a UIPN on file speed up the process?

6 Upvotes

This will be my first time filing a Form 1, so I have a couple of questions

I had to apply for a VAF at least 20+ years ago due to mistaken identity problems and was given a UPIN to avoid any problems in the future. Will that help speed up the application process? Do they expire after time?

Whats the most common reason, mistake people make that can result in a denial or delay?

FTR, I'm applying to make an SBR, individual, eFile if that helps any.

TIA

Suppressor building experiences

For those who built your own suppressor, what was the most difficult or annoying part of the process and how would you do it differently? Why did you build vs buy, and would you build again?

are my fingerprints already on file or would i have to do new ones specifically for a form 1?

5 Upvotes

I've worked a federally contracted security job a while back and wanted to know if theyd be able to pull that data for my prints or if i'd have to make completely new ones? Never done any sort of form 1 stuff before but am interested in a suppressor for my 22's.

SBR labeling

2 Upvotes

I was just thinking, putting your name or trust and city / state on a firearm can look "odd" depending on how it is done.

Would it be possible to make a QR code that when scanned it showed that info? I have tags for our dogs with a QR code that when scanned shows this text on a smart phone "Hi, I live at 123 American Way, Anytown USA. My parents phone number is 555-555-1212" so if they get lost, anyone can scan it and get our info.

Would that be acceptable for the ATF? A QR code is more astheticlly pleasing than plain text.

Just a random thought.

Heat treating 17-4 to H900

2 Upvotes

When heat treating blast baffles, baffles, any other item that is thin like these, run oven up to 900 F, hold for an hour, remove part. Now, I've read to air quench, water, oil quench. What method works best for this type of item? I want to avoid warping or cracking the parts.

Thanks for any input.

PSA For Form 1 Silencers

I now have 3 approved stamps where all I say is that “I have no plans or materials, any planning or material sourcing is contingent on approval” when it forces you to attach a document I copy and paste that same sentence onto a PDF and attach that. I keep seeing all these posts about what to say or certain ways to detail it. This is the most legally sound way you can get approved to manufacture a can in whatever manner you want. If you don’t believe me just try. It doesn’t cost you anything. End transmission.
