From the ATF NFA Handbook:
7.4.4 Obtaining variances to the marking requirements. Requests for variances from the marking requirements of 27 CFR 478.92 and 27 CFR 479.102 should be submitted by letter to ATF?s Firearms Technology Branch (FTB). The letter can be sent via mail to Chief, Firearms Technology Branch, 244 Needy Road, Martinsburg, WV 25405. The letter can also be sent to the marking variance e-mail address at: marking_variances@atf.gov. The marking variance request may be submitted by any of the parties involved in the variance. However, if the primary manufacturer is in possession of all the information including the names of the identity of the secondary manufacturers and the manufacturing processes they may be performing on the firearm, it is preferred that the primary manufacturer submit the request to FTB.
The marking variance letter of request should clearly state the following information:
?manufacturer, importer, or maker of the firearm(s),
?recipient of the firearm(s),
?identify the name, city and State that will be displayed on the firearm(s),
?model designation, if designated,
?identify the type/style of firearm (pistol, machinegun, short-barreled rifle, etc.),
?caliber or gauge if assigned, and
?serial number scheme.
In identifying the serial number scheme to be used, you must supply a different serial scheme for each model and you must state the exact beginning serial number of the serial scheme you wish to use. Although letters and characters may be used, the serial number must use at least one number it the scheme. Please note, using the letter X, or the use of characters (#, *, etc.) as digit/character holders is unacceptable. For example, an incorrectly submitted serial scheme would be ALZXXXX. A correctly submitted serial scheme would be ALZ0001. You do not need to provide an ending serial number when submitting your serial number scheme.
7.4.4.1 Variances in the name and location of the manufacturer. As stated above, the regulations require firearms to be marked with the manufacturer?s name, city and State or recognized abbreviation of the information. FTB will only grant marking variances for abbreviations regarding city and State names that are commonly recognized by the United States Postal Service. If you intend to use a name or abbreviation other than your licensed name or recognized abbreviation, you must contact the Federal Firearms Licensing Center and complete ATF Form 5300.38 to have your Federal Firearms License amended to reflect the addition of a trade name or a ?doing business as? name to your license. You may not use a name or abbreviation until it is approved.
Absolutely ridiculous.

That’s completely wrong. You only need to engrave the information on items YOU MANUFACTURE – e.g., a SBR, short shot gun.
Not your fault, though. This rumor floats around gun websites all the time.[/quote]
Right all that info on ones manufactured, but you still must engrave the entire name as put on the trust paperwork correct? As in you must spell out without abbreviating was my understanding as listed in Form 1 in the living trust.
Or is that incorrect as well?
Manufacturing and trusts are two completely different aspects. With a trust being a legal entity… I need to look further into this and pull some of this shit up on westlaw.
