Chicken or the egg?

[Links2k]

I am ready to purchase some NFA items and I have read almost every post in the NFA section. I have one question just to clear some things up for me.

Can I set up a trust prior to purchasing a NFA item or do I have to purchase the items prior to setting up the trust?

Thanks,

The trust has to come first so that you may list the trust as the owners of the NFA items.

Yep, trust comes first, as the trust is the actual owner of the item. We've got a couple of good vendors on here who can help you out.

What if you're new to the NFA dealings, and have already submitted paperwork for a suppressor. Is it a great issue to change the ownership to a trust at this poin?

[MacGyver]

You pay the tax stamp for each transfer of ownership, so to transfer it to the trust, it would cost you another $200.
