Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. My question is that I want to build an SBR with a silencer. Are the background checks for NFA items really hard and rigorous?
I can purchase a gun at a store and I just received my LTCF approval letter last week but haven't pick up my license yet, busy at work.
PS, sorry if I post this in the wrong section.
Thank you
Pretty sure there's a sticky in the "Firearms/ NFA forum"
However, you need to fill out a form, or two in your case, and mail it to the ATF, and a copy to your sheriff(I think), along with two $200 checks. Then wait 2-12 months for the forms to go through. There are more details but you can read about that in the forum I listed above.
Why are you worried about a more rigorous check.
Just little paranoid, it'll sux that I have to wait 6 months+ and 200.00 tax stamp and have it be denied. I've been reading people's posts that they can purchase a firearms but denied their LTCF. That's why I've been waiting to see if I pass my LTCF. I should think it'll be fine right? 😊Quote:

Yes you'll be fine. We all were our first go around.
6 months might be optimistic. I bought a supressor the end of May of last year.... still waiting!
Consider anything less than 10-12 months a bonus!
I've done my fair share of keeping the atf lights on. Ammo is dead on. I often wonder if they even check or just stamp it and file your info.
I'm sure they run NICS, and they certainly check details of your filing. I was disapproved because I made a SN error. Typed an 'O' (letter) instead of a '0' (zero) on a SBR e-file. I got the disapproval email one day before 41F and the end of e-file. I was told if I could re-e-file, it would likely be approved in days. Since the e-file system was so unstable and I couldn't do that, I had to paper file and go to the back of the line.Quote:
