For an NFA Trust. Are fingerprints required for all trusties and beneficiaries or just pictures?
TIA
Prints and pictures.
Do you go to the sheriff's office to get the photo and fingerprint taken or does one go to the fingerprint place they went for the LTC? If it's the latter, do they give you(e-mail) you the file or do they send it when you request it? TIA.

Re: Suppresor Talk/ opcions

The Annoyed Man wrote:You can build one on a Form 1, completely legally, for a third to a quarter of the retail price of buying one. I own three. One is a commercial AAC can in .308 caliber, one is a home built .308 caliber can, and one is a commercial Rugged Obsidian pistol can.

My advice is to always go over-bore. You can suppress a 5.56 weapon with a .308 can even quieter than a 5.56 can for the same weapon, but you can’t suppress a .308 weapon with a 5.56 can. External diameter for either can will be roughly the same - give or take maybe .1”.

To put home-built prices into comparison with commercial prices:

My all steel AAC 762-SDN-6 cost me $830 retail.

My aluminum / steel Rugged Obsidian45 pistol can (which will also work on 9mm even more quietly) cost me $850 retail.

My titanium / steel baffles home-built .308 can cost me about $240 in parts.

If you built your own AR, that is more complicated than building your own can. Search the forum for AndyC’s thread on “suppressor build” for more details, but it is just silly how simple it is.
Thanks for the tip! something to consider based on the very appealing price. Can we prep it (measure, cut it, etc.) and not assemble it first while one waits for the stamp's approval or is it best to get the stamp before buying the parts? TIA.
