does the "new" sherriff sign off on nfa forms?

apparently the signatures need to be a year old or less.

Wait until July 3rd when it wont matter any more IF he doesn't.

if he does, i'm only a week away from my stamp.

I think BATFE has made a new ruling that the CLEO no longer has to sign, they just have to be notified. You might want to check with your local Class 3 dealer
