  • Are you fixing or restoring a broken firearm that was previously registered as an NFA Firearm?

          2.  The Name and Address of the company that brought your Firearm into the United States (the 'importer').

  • Directions on entering the Caliber or Gauge of the Firearm

    Notes:
    1. You are only allowed to enter 1 caliber.
    2. Do not enter "Multi" or "Multi-cal" - If you enter anything other than a single specific caliber, YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED!
    3. Because of the limited space available on the Form 1, we suggest using the following abbreviations:

          mm for millimeter
          ga for gauge,
    For example:

          .223 cal       9 mm       12 ga
