Safe deposit box for SBR’s

[Shagnasty]

Anyone ever used a bank safe deposit box for their SBR? I’m joining the army and can’t leave them with anyone, and can’t take them with me.

Hoping to hear if anyone had a good experience with a particular bank.

Downsizing houses a few years ago. Between houses brought a bunch of NFAs into my local Bank of America. It took 3 trips from the car and 2 large boxes to get everything in. Staff just smiled and the guard helped me carry everything in.

If it’s an AR, just strip the receiver down to the lower if size is an issue.

Now that's a good idea.

A very good idea

I do not have an SBR in my safety deposit box, but all of my tax stamps (15 at current count) are in there, along with some family heirloom firearms. Some of the pistols go back four generations and are well over 100 years old.

If you keep copies of your tax records in the box, you can deduct the annual rental fee on your federal income tax return.

And look for a credit union, they typically charge much less for a box. Set up a savings account, deposit enough money to cover the fees for a few years, and have them draft that account for the rental. Then you can deploy with no worries about the contents. "Oh poop, I am over here in AssCrackistan and can't pay the bank right now..."

If you are using a trust and have anyone else on it, be sure they can access the box. Or not. Just be aware of that issue.

Also, as a servicemember, make sure the bank knows your military status. The Servicemember's Civil Relief Act prevents (at least is supposed to) default judgments, i.e., the bank cannot liquidate the contents of the box because the rent is not paid.

Change your home address to your parents house, leave them there.

You DO know NFA items can’t be out of your control, right?

That’s great information, thank you.
