    You know what would be even better than an NFA forum, if .gov was made to understand what “shall not be infringed” ****ing means.

    I've always done my NFA items as an individual because I didn't have a CLEO that wouldn't signoff. I actually have a coworker who was told at a gun shop that you have to have a trust in order to own an NFA item. He was convinced of it. Only the fact that I owned several without a trust changed his mind.

    Personally, I didn't buy any of my NFA items to share with so I don't see that advantage.
    I agree. I don't want anyone touching my guns while I'm not there. A disadvantage of a trust is that you're on parity with others. They can sell items in a trust just like you can.

    I have my wife on my trust. I was in a bad car accident a year ago literally days before we were supposed to move. I was going to be in the hospital for a while, so my wife had some of our friends come over to move all the guns. They made the guns temporarily non-NFA, for lack of a better term, by separating the uppers on the ARs and the barrels on the shotguns. One guy took the receivers in one car and one the uppers/barrels in another car. They gave the suppressors to my wife to take. Now the chances of anything LEO related were slim, but this was a legal way to move everything.

    ETA: My wife could look in the safe and not tell you what anything is, and has no idea what the NFA is. When I told her I was putting her on the trust, she said “I guess I own a gun now.” I’m not worried about her selling anything. Of course she also drove around with a couple suppressors in her glovebox the entire time I was in the hospital and rehab simply because she didn’t know any better, so there’s that.

    ETA: In case anyone is wondering, I found the section that states that removing the NFA “feature” renders the NFA item no longer NFA:
    "Section 2.5 Removal of firearms from the scope of the NFA by modification/elimination of
    components.
    Firearms, except machineguns and silencers, that are subject to the NFA fall within the various
    definitions due to specific features. If the particular feature that causes a firearm to be regulated by the
    NFA is eliminated or modified, the resulting weapon is no longer an NFA weapon."
