Q: A customer would like to purchase a silencer through us and have us process the Form 4 with the intention of keeping items in another state. He is a MN resident but his trust is from a different state (Iowa maybe, can’t remember exactly). I remember reading an ATF letter regarding transfer of NFA items to trustee’s and the letter stated that since an individual was physically picking up the item, the 4473 was processed with a background check for the individual. In this case to an individual who is a resident of MN. My assumption is that if we file the Form 4 listing the trust and the out of state address, and the ATF sends it back approved, we can proceed with the transfer to our instate resident regardless of where the trust is registered. Is this correct?
