NFA Trust items have to be permanently marked. ie if you SBR an AR it needs to be engraved with the Trust name and location.
A couple things: subsonic vs supersonic, and caliber specific vs using an oversize can for smaller calibers.
subsonic vs supersonic: I have a 22 Dead Air Mask. I haven’t bought subsonic ammo. When I shoot it the bullet makes noise when the bullet goes supersonic. Yes it sounds like a cap...
Go down with them to your favorite FFL and pick out the item. I would be upfront with the FFL and let them know this is a gift. The recipient will get to fill out all the paperwork and fingerprints etc. You will be providing the funds to cover the gift/purchase.
Of course it would help if...
Uhmmm sort of. They have established a 120 day grace period. If you are a dealer you have a NFA item. If you have what was previously a pistol with a brace. You are in the gray/grace area.

I looked at this in person. The seller is FFL/SOT
machinegunspot.com Has a m-16 variant. https://firearms-texas.com/product/bushmaster-xm15e2-m-16-5-56x45mm-16%e2%80%b3/ advertizes the same gun. Are all these web pages all advertizing the same weapon?
If so what outfit should I be dealing with?
I have zero experience with cans. My first can is on order at quiet riot waiting on my tax stamp. Its a 22 dead air mask. I have a Ruger 22/45 tactical and a Henry Frontiersman waiting For it to get out of jail.
When I started down this rabbit hole. I was thinking one multi caliber can...
Box it up and Send it FedEx to yourself as the named recipient at C/O grandpa’s address. It is legal to send a weapon to yourself in another state.
It’ll be safe til you get there.
Apparently switching a SBR back to a pistol is a work around to avoid notifying ATF when traveling out of state with an SBR/NFA item.
Please verify this before taking my word
I think this is ripe for legal challenge, but who will do it?
A non-elected group of bureaucrats rewrote a bunch of definitions. These aren’t laws written by lawmakers.
How far off topic? Play the game to not go to jail. Tax collection at the tip of a gun. The power of the government to pass unconstitutional laws and place you in jail if they catch you?
