Please feel free at anytime to correct me if I am wrong.
Hypothetical questions to make sure I fully understand. At no time, no question is intended to imply that I would, will or want to do as any question might suggest.
1. As I understand it. If I have a current rifle or shotgun and I wish to make it a SBR/SBS I first submit a Form 1 and wait for approval. Once approved (paperwork received) I can then make the modifications to convert it into a SBR/SBS. So my questions are:
A. Once I have received the approval, am I allowed to do any R&D and testing? Such as cut the barrel down... to one length, then a shorter length etc until I get to the length I ultimately desire.
B. Many guns he the capability to have interchangeable barrels. So would I be Allowed one day to put a non nfa length barrel 24” for example, then an hour later put a 14” barrel on it... then back to the 24” as needed? Or even change it from a rifled Short Barrel to a short barrel smooth Bore and back again?
2. Does a form 1 allow me to build a SBR/SBS from scratch? Meaning no prior gun existed and now I am custom designing and making a gun from raw metals, polymers and wood to create a brand new custom SBR/SBS or even a brand new custom AOW? Since this would be a new custom gun, is there any possibility for design changes needed due to testing results from R&D?
3. Is a form 1 needed if one is building an otherwise non-NFA weapon from scratch?
4. If I buy a AOW the tax fee is $5, but if I want to make a AOW then it’s $200, but if I then legally sell that AOW mu purchaser would only have to pay the $5 fee? Such as if I made an equivalent weapon similar to Mossbergs Compact Cruiser.
5. If the Form 1 was filed by a Gun trust, would anyone on the gun trust be allowed to build the approved weapon, or only the main person of the gun trust?
I may have additional questions
