    I doubt SBR's or Suppressors will garnish much attention, but full-auto probably will every time...

    Haven't hauled mine around off private property much, but am interested in hearing more. Photo on cell phone is good idea....

Conservation officer apologized to me and said to have fun with all of my legal toys.

    Went to an indoor range once and they not only wanted to see my copies of my stamps, but they wanted to copy them to keep in their file. I told them that would in no way shape or form be happening and we left and went to another range.

    Both of those things happened in Missouri. So far, nobody in Texas cares.
    What's a conservation range and a conservation officer?

    On topic, I keep a copy of my SBR and Suppressor forms in a little plastic bag shoved in my SBR's pistol grip. I've only had to provide it at one particular range in Oklahoma (H&H), but that was a one-off time. Normally they don't care.

    I don't use photos. I store PDFs of page 1 of each one in my iBooks app. They're a available offline as well. I have a folder for all NFA form, and then I have the manuals for each suppressor also saved.

    You can organize everything as you wish, and either vote it as a list or as thumbnails.

    Not been asked for any paperwork yet I keep reduced size copys in notebook and have a reduced size copy in SBR grip so small you would need a magnifying glass to read it. I've spent more time explaining the process of getting them than question of legal to have them.

    What if you print an e form stamp on a color printer?

    That's a great idea to save them in iBooks. I'll have to do that with mine when they come in. I had already planned on sticking them in my pistol grip, having them on my phone seems like a no brainer too! Thanks!

    Other than the fact that the eForm digital stamp is possibly illegal in the first place?

    As I mentioned, I can't imagine anybody ever gets in trouble for it. I like to mention it every once in a while because nobody would ever think to even look it up.

    They send you an electronic copy, so you'd be expected to print it out.

    Many states have Conservation (Wildlife) departments that oversee things like hunting, fishing etc. In Missouri there are established public ranges run by them. Some are staffed, others are not. I don't think outside of issuing a summons for a hunting tag or fishing license violation they have any arrest authority. Will vary by state though.

    Do elaborate on the legality of eforms stamps?

    You are not required to carry it, it is not an id or permit.
