Lets not make this personal. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. A homemade trust is clearly sufficient to get the ATF to approve your forms. It MAY be sufficient for your personal estate planning needs. It MAY also contribute to the ATF tightening the rules in the future regarding trusts and corporations.

Arguing that your trust is somehow better or cheaper or whatever than mine is silly.

I'm fine with that. I'm just saying that in the end I will be able to get my NFA items just as you got yours. If they sign off on it and approve it, I will be glad I didn't spend a dime on the trust other than a notary signature instead of dropping 2.5K for a lawyer to build me one.
