I've read some back and forth on engraving abreviation. For example: if the name is John Smith Gun Trust, you can shorten it to J. Smith Trust, or J. Smith Gun Trust. Others say it must match your trust document letter for letter.
My trust has my full name, I would like to only engrave the first letter to shorten it.
Any knowledge you can share on the subject?

Mainly I'm wondering if it's a good idea to have a weapon that would be engraved with the name of a government agency, even in a mocking sense. I suppose I could just write the ATF and say "So, somebody offered to pay for my tax stamp if I used this crazy name for a trust. You guys have a problem with it? If not, can I get a picture of me posing with one of your agents holding the gun to show the lighter, happier side of the ATF?"

First, legally change your name to Stupid Fuck.
Then get your Fuck ATF Trust (saves two letters when engraving).

I was really close to getting an Olympia PD marked gun when they changed issue guns a few years back, but my contact left before he could buy one. I've thought about collecting a few PD marked guns just for the interesting factor, it gives an interesting history to the gun.
Meanwhile, as far as the "Fuck the BATFE Trust" I'm still weighing my options. On one hand, free tax stamp. On the other, discretion. Or if the state allows profanity in a trust name. Things I'm all gonna check on once I get a couple free days.
