    Yes. Got denied yesterday. Atf said I was in violation of some code. The message informed me the parts I have are already considered a silencer. The thing is I don't have any "parts". Called ATF this morning and was told they were being bombarded with the same calls.
    It appears the ATF is denying Form 1 applications. I hope it's just a glitch.

    FYI. The coding of eforms etc. is performed by third party contracted entities. As well. Most of the examiners are not ATF post certified LEO.
    There are only a few Agents actually onsite. They are the ones who sign off on the forms as the minions process them.
    Also. When has Alphabet soup ever followed the law?
    They with a slight of hand created a living person out of an LLC, Trust, Corp. Now they require prints for such.
    BUT!!! Try to buy a gun in the trust name etc.... see what happens when they run a nics and tell them a company name.
    Next! File a form 1 for sbr etc...
    Dont put a serial number or manuf info on the form correctly and see them reject it because the info is wrong.
    Um.... Hello..... Im filling out a form 1 to manufacture and I xan call it whatever I want thank u.
    They just need to go Bye Bye.
    Feed the hogs.... America!

    They sent out a letter yesterday.
    Additional steps: eForm 1 Silencer submission.

    You can’t legally make a silencer from a silencer. The solvent trap is a silencer. That’s the logic.

    They have a number you can call. Request to speak with Ted Clutter. Or another Agent. Not an examiner. Actual Agent. You can also contact your local BATFE office and request a meeting with the regional supervisor.

    Which is why they are clearing the easily denied forms off their table without individual response like they did just a few years ago. Usually they would give a shout and talk to you at least try 1 time to do so. Then send a discrepancy letter.

    That letter sure is "tricky". The disapproval letter I received was all about "parts and intent". According to the ATF...you can't have the parts before the Aporoval. So you'll be sending pictures of illegal items??????
