Any movement on this?

Wow. Looks like over a thousand people did make comments.

Para I am not an expert on this stuff just someone who has used the sytem a bunch, so thanks to advise, but why would you need new engraving on a Form 4 transfer. I completely get it on a Form 1. But it has to be made already for a form 4 or that has been my experience, is there some other transfer under a Form 4 that you need to mark it again? This regulation change to me is for the Form 1 firearms already marked by the mfg.

I misspoke

That's an amazing ruling, of course it will be appealed or they'll try to get a ruling in a Blue area to combat it then off to SCOTUS

If it all goes right, the NFA may just be eliminated... along with it's lists....

Hell yes…great job GOA!

Now…do we get a M249S and M240-SLR now to convert after the NFA is killed, or find a dealer with a M249 and M240B on hand willing to take a deposit?!

The best possible news today

I'd surely like to see them make a determination on this. With the recent attrition of NFA regulations, I am encouraged that this will become policy, but they seem to be in no hurry.

This needs to be pushed HARD by the DOJ.
Tell the ATF to get moving on the “clarification”.

I don’t see any evidence that DOJ will appeal the ruling. Does someone have any insider info?

I have the feeling it will be sometime early in 2027 when we get the word.

During the "brace amnesty", I converted two AR type pistols to SBR. No engraving was required, the factory serial number was sufficient and is on the documentation. I suspect that might have allowed them to begin to see the light that since it already had unique individual factory stamped serial numbers, nothing more was required to be able to identify them. I do hope they authorize this change so that firearms can remain unblemished.
