Engraving question

[Photoguy67]

Considering doing an sbr on a form 1, I know I would have to engrave my name, city and state, but do I have to use my full first name or can it be first initial and last name?
Thanks

Whatever you list on the form. Note that the ATF has very specific requirements for engraving.

I wrote to the ATF about this and I was told to use my entire first, middle and last name.  The form only listed my first and middle initial though and that is what I went with.  

Next time, it will be on a trust though.

Wow! Didn't know I had to use my middle name too. Thanks guys.

Just got mine approved after an error. I tried my first name abbreviated and full last name and it got kicked back with a form saying full first and last name. Only the state could be abbreviated. I corrected it with full first name and full last name,dated and initialed it and 2 weeks later it was approved. Did not put my middle name on it.

You don't. Just use your first and last name or name of your trust.
