Who will ask to see the Form 1 or Form 4?

[LRRPF52]

Different options:

Some people carry laminated copies of their stamps for each serialed device.

Some people say, “If you’re one of the treasury department agents mentioned specifically on the back of my Form 1s and Form 4s, then here’s a copy of my stamps.”

“This approved application is the registrant’s proof of registration and it shall be made available to any ATF officer upon request.”

ATF agents don’t generally like showing up and identifying themselves at public ranges, because it may compromise what they’re actually trying to do there.

People who have produced copies have often said the agents didn’t have any record of their stamps, and asked to make copies for the local office’s records.

The whole thing is really a scam.

If you live in a State that doesn’t allow certain NFA items, then LEOs not with Treasury can ask to see proof of registered NFA items if they believe you’re in violation of State law.
