ATF Form 1

ATF Form 1 is a form used to legally register and obtain approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to build or produce a firearm categorized as a “privately made firearm.” This includes items like homemade firearms or receivers. Completing and submitting the form, along with paying a tax stamp fee, grants legal authorization to manufacture these firearms for personal use. It’s important to wait for approval before completing the firearm to ensure compliance with federal law.
