Kansas Shooter
New member
Back in late August I bought an AR lower receiver that was registerd as a SBR by the factory (Colt). I bought it from an out of-state S.O.T. and it has since transfered to my dealer in Kansas. I received my Form 4's the other day from my dealer and today I called and left a message for my sheriff, to see when I could meet him at his office to get his signature (the county seat is roughly 20 minutes south-east of where I live and work). The sheriff was a long-time deputy who was voted to succeed our last one after he retired a few years ago. Not many people in the county owns items that are undrer the NFA and the sheriff told me this would be his first SBR to approve. I have a friend who went to him for signatures on the machine guns he owns.
Toward the end of the day he returned my call. After some pleasantries he said he understood I had a form for him to sign to transfer a "short rifle" to me. I said, "yes", and asked when a good time would be for me to drive down to see him. He then told me that he would gladly sign-off, and that he would drive up to meet me, either today or tomorrow! He has other business here both days, but it impressed me that he would go out of his way to make this convenient for me.
I have read a lot of posts online from people who have had less-than desired experiences when attempting to get their CLEO's signatures on their Form 1's and 4's and wanted to share my experience. Now if there was a way to get a similar response from the A.T.F......
