I've never applied for a tax stamp or the like. This is my first time. I'm going to be building a short barrel rifle. I've found the Form 1 but really don't know how to go about filling some of the stuff out such as the manufacture, etc. Also, what do I put down for the reason that I need it? Any help you can help will be great ...

Edit: I guess it's the Form 1 since I'm building the rifle.
Form 1.
Manufacturer is the original manufacturer. You'll also have to engrave the lower with your name (or trust) city and state to be in compliance since you'll technically be the manufacturer of the registered firearm. I recommend Jason @ Quentin Lasers for the engraving--

The reason for building on all 3 of my forms are as follows (I don't fool with the all lawful purposes part):
collection, heirloom, exersize my second amendment rights.
ETA: If you're doing this as an individual instead of business entity, you'll also have to get 2 passport quality photo's of yourself and glue one to the top/back of each form (2x2 inches-frontal) and you'll need two FD-258 FBI fingerprint cards and Chief Law Enforcement signature (unless you're going the trust route--in that case you'll also have to provide a notarized copy of your recognized trust). As has been stated, all of this is free from the ATF branch if you order it. Don't forget the $200 check and the wait times to get the forms back are long. The last set of forms I submitted took almost 3 months and the wait is even longer now.
Also a good link with info for NFA newbies.
