It isn't correct. But it is sadly common for 'the law doesn't apply' to cops.
Are you buying it, or making it yourself? Personally, for you? I performed many while in the employ of a Class 3 SOT. Transferring it and Manufacturing it are not the same form.
Yeah I figured. I was going to use forms OMB 1512-0571 & 1140-0011
I called the ATF and left a message hopefully they will call me back. I would hate to fill out the wrong forms send in 200 bucks and wait 5 months to find out its the wrong forms, or I left some info off.
I bought the GSG5 PK. its the pistol version, I want to put a collapsible stock on it. So I believe its the manufacturing forms. Sierra Vista is pretty easy about getting the CLEO to sign off, usually takes 1 day.
If memory serves (and it often doesn't anymore), Form 1 (
http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=25502 ) is for Manufacturing as an individual. The presence on that forum would suggest I am accurate. ;-) Dunno if you have to be a member to DL it tho...
I'm not sure what your BO is like, but the one I dealt with was actually quite helpful when I started doing the forms. If I made a mistake or left something out, they'd just give me a call back. Sometimes they'd make the correction themselves and just let me know. I never had to wait more than 3 weeks on papers. It helps to deal with them in person if you can. Even if you know deep down that they are all traitors....
On the other side of that coin, it's been almost 2 years and I still haven't heard back from the tech branch about the rifle I want to build.... I know I don't ahve to ask their permission, but I need a determination in unison as to which part is the receiver, so that I know not to outsource it for more than 80% completion. If we disagree on which is which, I may inadvertently have what they call the receiver made to 100% since I DON'T consider it to be the receiver... What a pain in the stupid.
Being a LEO will get you pushed to the front of the line. Also, you'll probably get the Sign off. This is probably where the rumor that LEOs don't have to sweat it comes from. CLEOs usually sign off for their own employees... They still have to do it, but they don't have to worry about a Revocable Trust becasue the sign off is a gimmie.
I almost sprung for one of the GSGs. But I decided to grab the Ruger Charger 10/22 pistol w/ bipod instead. I got 2 of them for the same price as one GSG. My son and I have matching guns now. Mags are everywhere, it costs less, proven design, etc... I did handle several of the GSGs, and I didn't like the latch for the charging handle. It was aluminum, and already showed signs of deformation under spring pressure just from shipping. It was obviously painted black, and not anodized. I wasn't impressed. These were some of the very first ones that came into the states, so I hope they've made some kind of change...
