Hey all,

I know this has been broached elsewhere (but I feel not fully answered), but what exactly do you put in the caliber box (4c) on the Form 1? I know I can't use "multi" even though that's what my Spike's lower has listed lol. Some options I've considered are:

300BLK
300 AAC Blackout
.30
7.62mm
7.62 mm
7.62x35
7.62x35mm
7.62x35 mm
7.62 x 35 mm

Sorry if this seems over the top or OCD, but I don't feel like giving the ATF any reason to prolong what will already be a ridiculous wait. They aren't exactly "fast and furiously" approving stuff... Thanks,

Tom

And it worked or are you still waiting (not that any delay would necessarily be due to this)?

Sure. Mine says 5.56mm. Mainly because it started out as an SBR 10.5" 5.56 but since you don't have to do any paperwork changes when switching calibers or barrel length, it doesn't matter.

With one caveat... you must be able to return the rifle to it's registered condition. ie. I have to maintain the 10.5" 5.56 upper in my inventory.

As far as your situation, I'd put 300BLK and call it a day. Caliber isn't a major hanging point from what I know of the process (4 SBR's and counting) Just make sure all the boxes are filled in and you don't put "Whacking Tango's" in the "Reason for application" box.

no wonder my form 1 is taking so long:
I put " Whacking Skinnies" on my app.

This was pulled from another thread that RSILVERS commented on the thread was about the correct wording for this round.

Ideally it would say:

300 BLK


Also don't put zombie hunting in the reasons on another forum a guy put zombie hunting in for his reason and it delayed his form until he fixed it.
