I got a JR kit for a Model 12/AEM5 clone kit when the cans were discontinued to build a Mk12 Mod0 clone but never built it.
Am I SOL at this point?
Hoping to get a PRI Mk12 upper in a couple months so I was waiting to build the can once I get the upper to make sure the mount works etc and never saw this coming.
No, you can still get approval. The key is to say that you have NOT purchased any parts and will not build the suppressor until approved.

What am I missing gents?
Nothing. Of course you'd have the parts. You probably shouldn't bore a baffle or end cap to be cautious. I wouldn't send of for a stamp only to get it and not have the kit available. That would be insane. A $200 stamp you can't do anything with?Quote:

You could get a refund. I’ve done it twice. Expect a very long wait if you need to go that route.Quote:

As far as I know, the ones that are getting approved now are the ones that respond that no parts or kits have been purchased, yet, and that all those decisions and purchases will be made after the form 1 is approved.Quote:

If you already have a kit, it doesn't look like there's a way to form 1 it without making untrue statements. I wonder if it's possible to find an SOT who can manufacture a form 4 can out of your kit. You might try Alvah Devins, or better yet, an SOT in your area.
Edited again for clarity
That's kind of interesting.Quote:

Could you file for a kit you have yet to buy and then decide to use other parts you used on hand for the build?
Like if you file for another hypothetical kit you want to buy but haven’t, is that ok if you have another kit you now ‘can’t use’
Though you didn't ask me specifically, I've also received two $200 refunds. The first was for an Arsenal SLR-106CR that I wanted to SBR. I sent off the Form 1 and received the stamp. Afterward, I fired the rifle for the second time. It began to have all sorts of reliability problems. After Arsenal failed to fix it a couple of times, they replaced it (with a used rifle that had a lower serial number that also had the same reliability issues). So, I no longer had the original rifle. Since the SBR had not actually been made, I called the examiner and she told me to mail in the original form with VOID (I think) on it. Months later I received a $200 check in the mail.Quote:

I wanted to sell the Galil Ace pistol, but thought that it would be best to wait for the refund check to make sure that it was taken off of the registry. After all, the next person who bought it might want to SBR it. It literally took over two years to get the $200 refund. The only reason that I got it was I called and explained the situation to a nice lady. She looked up and confirmed that they had received my request to void the Form 1. I don't know what she did, but a little over a week later I received the $200 refund check in the mail.
I picked up a couple Form ones for cans just to have them on hand a few years back. It seems like every "Do it yourself can MFG" has been run out of business. Are there still any decent ones left?
Both were denied. One on an AR Pistol because I listed caliber as MULTI which was stamped into the lower by the MFG. The second was a MKE Zenith that I chose the wrong MKE factory in Turkey to list. On the Zenith ATF denial they told me the correct factory to use and I re-applied on that one.Quote:

The only way to legally transfer a kit is via form 4, obviously preceded by a form 3 to a SOT. Even if you conceal your intentions on the form 1 submission and get approval, it will never be a legally owned suppressor and based on the form 1 date could be easily proven to be in violation of their new rules.
The new rules obviously suck and are ridiculously unfair. I don’t personally care what anyone does but you’ll never be able to build a legal suppressor from your kit, even if you fudge the form 1. Getting caught is very unlikely but still in my opinion not worth the risk of losing your gun rights.
Superprecisionconcepts.com makes a good one. That's the one we did on Pappabear's F1.Quote:
