ATF Rule 41F

[rav373]

Anyone heard the new deal on this?, this was passed back in Jan of this year. If you didn't know what it is, this ATF 41F rule has to do with gun-trust. They're trying to make it less of a hassel when we the law abiding citizen buying the what's termed as "dangerous weapons". ( silencers, short-barreled rifles and shotguns and fully automatic firearms)
Here's a link on this subject explained a little better than me - The Inconvenience of Rule 41F

So getting back to the question anyone has experiences with this? good, bad or what

This executive action requires that trustees of trusts used for purchasing NFA firearms and supressors submit photos and fingerprint cards. This was not a requirement previously.

It also for some, at least to me, inexplicable reason does away with the requirement for a chief LEO officer sign off for purchasing an NFA firearm as an individual as opposed to a trust. The trust approach was used initially by those wanting to purchase an NFA firearm but who were unable to do so as an individual since their chief LEO would as a matter of policy not sign off attesting that the applicant had no criminal history in the in applicable jurisdiction.

I believe these changes become effective in July of this year.

This is probably the main reason for the recent disappearance from the market of short barrel rifles. People trying to get in under the existing rules before the change in July.

Previously, only the "establisher" of the trust (I don't know the term of art) was required to submit fingerprints, etc. Now, every member of the trust must do so . . .

I guess their attitude is that membership of the trust implies access.

Actually no one, not the "establisher" or trustees, in a trust was required to submit fingerprints or pictures prior to this change which takes effect 7/13/16. The system worked just fine as it was. The whole NFA is ridiculous anyway but at least getting rid of the CLEO sign off removes the main reason so many people were submitting with trusts.
