I have an SBR, I would like to transfer it to my 17 y/o step soon when he turns 18. Can I start the paper work whilst he is still 17 even though when the paper work finalizes he will be 18 or do I have to wait till he's 18 to start the paper work?

I see this asked a lot regarding trusts and trustees preparing to turn 18. The 4473 doesn't get filled out until stamp is approved and transfer is set to take place. I don't know why individual transfers would be any different. Even if it was approved while he was 17, you just keep it until the birthday. Nobody says you have to transfer it the day stamp is received.
ETA: can't be done based on posts following this one. Adding that note to this post.
Have you thought about forming a trust, making him a trustee and then transfer the SBR to the trust?
To answer your question, I think it will depend on when the examiner gets to your paperwork. Is a CLEO going to sign off on a 17 year old getting an SBR? Doubtful.
What is the minimum age to transfer NFA items? I had thought it was 21.
Shit! A transfer is $200. If you have to drop that money, Register a NEW SBR. The transfer is the worst idea.Quote:

18. Dealers won't do it until 21, but you can do a Form 1 or an in-state Form 4 that doesn't involve a dealer at 18.Quote:
