    5320.20: who files a lot of them?

    I need a couple volunteers to test something for me. Looking for some of you that file for 8-12 firearms at a time, preferably for multiple states, and are still using the ATF form with 3 items per form.

    I created an Excel version of the form where you fill out a "control" tab and it populates all your forms (up to 30 states right now) based on what you provide on that one tab. Submitted my first ones on it today, and everything works good for me...but want a couple other people to give me feedback.

    Shoot me a PM with your email address and the number of items you file. (I'm asking this particular piece of info because I made different versions for each option between 6-12). If one version works, the rest should, but who knows?

    I'm interested.. Ill shoot you a PM. I typically submit for all the surrounding states and also to states I frequent travel to. I would say I would try 6 line items with about 12 states for each. Roughly.

    Wish I had seen this, just mailed 2 5320.20s for 2 SBRs for 2 different states.

    Not sure how helpful that would be as I only have 2 items that require those forms. But I could if you wanted me to.

    3ish weeks for approval? Not bad

    Yeah, wouldn't have helped too much, but nice to have.

    They got them on 6/27, approved on 7/1, and they arrived between 7/7-7/9 while I was out of town. ~2 weeks.

    Just got back in town and will put the form to the test this weekend. I'll post my feedback up. Thanks again for sending it over. Glad they approved yours, so I have no doubt they will get my 6 or 7 at a time through.

    If I choose to stop overnight at a hotel along my travels do I need a 5320.20 for that state? What address do I use if I stay at different hotels for different trips over the course of the year I submit the form for?

    Intrastate travel isn't limited, so you just need permission to be in the state. I submit forms for states I've never take NFA items to, just in case I get an invite. I simply search only for an outdoor range and use that address.

    The Safe Passage provision of FOPA is supposed to protect you if just passing through a state (on a direct route) with short stops for food and gas. Overnight stays would require a 5320.20 as I understand it.

    Has anyone using BigWaylon's Form 20 had one disapproved? I've been using them for a while and received the four I sent in last month disapproved for obsolete form.

    The ATF updates the various forms from time to time, and if what he's given you (I'm not familiar with it) isn't the Oct 2019 edition, IME, it'll likely be disapproved. HTH.
