NFA Trust for $100?

[GlockSpock]

For those that do not know, GearHog is sorta like the Groupon for the Gun hobby.

 

Today's Deal is an NFA Trust from 199trust.com. It is 50% off (normally $200). It's not a bad price assuming it works, and I am considering it myself. Anyone have any experience with that website or doing trusts online?

I looked into it quite a bit, but ended up going with Chip Cain to do mine (as have many others on TGO).  With the money I was spending on these items and the reason I was doing it (having family be able to be in possession of my NFA Items), the extra cost and piece of mind was worth well more than the little I would have saved over the long run.  I just didn't want to "hope" it was right, I wanted to "know" it was right.

 

Not saying these wouldn't hold up legally, but I wasn't willing to be the test case.

You don't want to be the guy who finds out his bargain NFA trust doesn't hold water.  I'd go with a local pro over a remote whomever any day of the week.

How much professional liability insurance does 199trust.com carry?

Good answer. When I was looking into it, an unnamed TGO'er told me that he did a roll-your-own trust, then said if he had it to do over, he would have used a lawyer. It's more money, but you can do it via mail.

Thanks everyone. I suppose that I'll end up using a TGO Vendor or someone that comes highly rated whenever I decide to go for it.

What these guys said. 

 

I'm am a licensed attorney in Tennessee.  I can drafts wills, trusts, etc.  I looked into preparing my own NFA trust, but decided to pay another attorney to prepare it with expertise in drafting such trusts and dealing with the ATF, etc. Finding out your trust is invalid could reasonable end up costing you a felony conviction.

Saul could probably swing you a newly made full-auto. Perfectly legal, of course. ;)
