BATFE's stance on the use of a Form 5 for repairs has changed as of 2000.

Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX:
This is in response to your letter dated December 15, 1999 asking whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) requires an ATF Form 5 for the repair of a National Firearms Act (NFA) firearm.

We do not consider the conveyance of an NFA firearm for repair or gunsmithing to be a transfer as defined in the NFA. You may wish to refer to item 15 in the "Questions and Answers" section of ATF P 5300.4, Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide, for a discussion of this subject. An ATF Form 5 application is not required in this situation; however, we recommend that the repair or gunsmithing be documented in your records.

Should additional information be needed, please contact ATF Specialist Gary Schaible at (202) 927-8330.

Sincerely yours,

[signature]

Kent M Cousins
Chief, National Firearms Act Branch

I would have recommended John or Stan Andrewski dba "Stan's Gunsmithing" to do that type of restoration, but unfortunately they are backlogged at least two years on the Melton suppressed MK5 Sterling & LUSA smg projects. As John suggested, try over at subguns.com NFA Board for advice.
