Looking for some advice concerning a potential purchase. My son is selling a Kris’s Vector SDP with a 5.5 inch barrel. He has an approved form 1 to SBR it.
I told him that I would buy it and wanted it as an SBR as well. I spoke to 2 well respected local FFL’s who both told me that the easiest way would be to have him contact the ATF to drop it from the registry, sell it to me as a pistol, and then I would complete a form 1 in my name.
He sent the email to drop it from the registry but never heard anything. I waited about 2 months and tried submit a form 1. After several weeks, I was informed that the form had been withdrawn as that specific serial number was already in the registry under a different name (my son, obviously) and that I could reapply when it is dropped from the registry.
I spoke with the FFL who stated that, the ATF has been extremely slow in updating the registry.
I am not in a hurry. However, my problem is knowing when it is finally dropped so I can start the process. Will my son get notification once it is dropped? It’s too late now but, is there a process to transfer it’s an SBR?
