Hey, I just submitted a form 1, and need to get fingerprinted. Do local law enforcement agencies do this, or do I need to locate a LGS that is a class III?
 
You can roll your own. Just get the cards from the ATF and an ink pad.
 
Roll your own...

forms are free from the ATF
Ink pad from amazon

I did my own... was nervous they’d get rejected... and was approved.

But you only have 10 days from submission to get them sent in. Didn’t think this through all the way, did ya? :D

I have cards here I can send you tomorrow if you need them. Order a fingerprint pad from Amazon and have it in a day or two, and you’re in business.

let me know if you need cards...a lot of the local offices aren’t doing them right now, but you can get them done anywhere you want, or do them yourself

then order you a stack for free from the ATF to have for future submissions
 
Capital Armory has a tutorial on YouTube for filling out the cards if you do this yourself.

Thanks, I might take you up on the finger print cards. Also, I was told that I would receive an email with a cover letter, copies of my application for CLEO, and "ATF" copies. I submitted the form 1 a few days ago, have yet to receive the email with the cover letter (I've checked spam folders, etc). My application states it is pending research as I designed a new model for the suppressor I'm going to build. However, I just logged into my account with e-BATF and found the cover letter under the electronic documents tab. It doesn't have a control number listed on the cover letter therefore I'm assuming it is incomplete, and that I need to be patient for the email. From what I understand, predominately via a google search (so feel free to tell me I have bad info), it can take up to 10 days for the new model to be loaded into the system and a cover letter sent to the applicant. Is this correct?

Correct. It’s not actually considered Submitted (so your 10 days hasn’t started) until it clears Pending Research. At that time you’ll get another email with the form and cover letter attached.

As a heads-up...if you’re using an iDevice (not sure if Android devices have the issue), you won’t see the attachments in the default Mail app. You’ll have to log into webmail using a browser, or use a laptop/desktop, or access it through EForms.

In the future, you can also just choose N/A for Model. It’s not required. One less thing to engrave, and you can avoid the Pending Research.

Also, just make sure. You did choose FMI for the Manufacturer Code, right? Instead of putting your name (or trust/corp name) as the Maker?

Putting a new model name just makes things take longer. Totally unnecessary. You don't need a model a name . N/A is perfectly acceptable and can speed things up by weeks if not months. If you want a model name on your silencer just put N/A on the application and when you have it egraved you can have whatever you want engraved plus the official information.
