Please understand I'm not confirming or advocating that the below is actually true. I'm curious to see what issues, if any, people have had if they have or have not followed what I've heard over time when submitting NFA paperwork.
Background: For my first SBR, I submitted one copy of all the paperwork (Trust, Assignment, Citizenship) and the standard two copies of the Form 1. No issues, 6 months later I got my stamp. I did the same thing for another Form 1 and recently received another stamp.
1. When submitting paperwork for a Form 4, my FFL (who does a lot of volume and has a good working relationship with the examiner) said I "needed" to submit two copies of everything (in addition to the Form) so that one set of copies goes in a vault in case there's damage to the working copies. I've never read that anywhere before, but I complied, as it's not that big a deal. I still have a few months before anything comes back. Anyone heard that before?
2. Regardless of the above, I'm about to submit two different Form 1s at the same time. I've never done that before and looking for guidance. I don't care how long it takes to get the paperwork back, as it will probably be about the time I'm ready to PCS back to a more "fun" state. That said, I know I don't need to submit redundant Trusts (I think I read that over on the NFACTA site), but is it correct that I need to submit a citizenship form (and obviously Assignment Page) for each set of Form 1s? I'm guessing I do.
3. Lastly, if you buy into question 1., should I include two citizen forms and assignments (totaling 4 of each) when submitting two different Form 1s?
I'm probably over-thinking this, but was curious what people are doing as of late.
ETA: Crap, apparently I can't edit the thread title. Oh well...not NFA myths, but NFA submission myths.
