More than likely the agent will have you write in "living". I sent one in with extra wording that wasn't needed, all I had to do was draw a line through it and initial.

This is so retarded. You have the stamp. END OF STORY!! No one gives a shit about engraving or trust names now that you have the stamp.

I figured I'd update folks on this.
First, thanks everyone for the input, I appreciate folk's perspective.
I spoke with the ATF agent. Apparently, applying for and having a stamp in the wrong name of the manufacturer (which is exactly what I did) is a big deal - though not uncommon. It isn't something you can just blow off, as some folks suggested, and the error needs to be corrected.
If ever I wanted to transfer the weapon it would have been a problem. Also, since I plan to carry the paperwork and stamp with my NFA items in case I'm ever challenged by some LEO (and we've all heard stories of it happening) I don't want to leave any room for some Barney Fife to give me some serious grief when he notices my stamp doesn't match my receiver.
So, with that reality to deal with, the agent had a relatively easy fix. He went back and Disapproved the already-approved application (and refunded my $200). He then had me start the whole process over again, and call him with the number of my application once it was finalized.
It took me all of 15 minutes to redo the process and in about 2 business days he reapproved my application.
So, now I have my correct stamp and all is good.
Thanks again for the input. And if anyone else ever has a similar problem, where you make a mistake on the form that doesn't get caught by ATF, I highly recommend taking the necessary steps to correct it and not just ignore the issue. It might come back and bite you some day.
Semper fi.
I still don't see the issue if the serial number is right.
LEO: You have paperwork for that?
You: Yes sir, right here.
LEO: Serial number, check.
Make/model , check.
The word 'living'... Not present... Hands on hood. Do it now.
Just dont see it happening. But glad you got it fixed so youre comfortable with it.
I'd ignore it. Mens Rea simply does not exist, here. Sadly, mens rea is not necessary to prosecute strict liability crimes (like possession). However, I find it impossible to believe that this would ever have caused you a moment's headache.

Would have ignored.....
Glad you got it worked out and off your mind. Personally I would have ignored the error and not even bothered to ask. Clearly it was bothering you however, so you did the right thing by getting it corrected.
