Trust beneficiaries get the trust property without wills or probate. And it's not public either like a will would be.
So...I send off for the stamp, I get the stamp, I get a 14" 870, have my name, city & state engraved, write up a will, yaddida, yaddida, yaddida.
Then, when I die, whoever I will it to gets it...right? Do they hafta send in $200 and all the paperwork and blah, blah, blah like I did? Or is it theirs "free and clear" even with my name on it? Or do they hafta do the entire process that I did?
This is so confusing.
It would transfer tax free on an ATF form 5 to your heir. They do not have to engrave anything as they are the transferee, not the maker like you were.
This is such a PITA. 
If this 870 weren't so damned sexy and drop-dead gorgeous, I'd forget about the entire thing.
But day-um!
This is the most gorgeous weapon I've seen in a long, LONG time! I mean, it's absolutely perfect!!! Speedfeed stock, Tac-Star 6 round side-saddle, Surefire lighted forend - what more could you ask for? 
Here is mine with the SGT ghost rings

I too have wanted to do a SBS for a long time now, but I have a coupla questions.
What if I have my name, city and state engraved on the SBS and then move to another city and/or state?
When I die, what happens to my SBS then?
Is the 870's mag tube a flush fit for the 14" barrel? Or do you have a 1 round ext. on it?
And lastly, how do you have the front end of that sling attached?
Didn't notice your questions until re-reading this thread this morning, sorry.
1. You do not have to worry about moving/engraving. The engraving is because you made the SBS on a Form 1, so you are the maker. It is just like the markings Remington put on it when they made it as a title 1 gun. If Remington moves they do not have everyone send in their gun to re-engrave their new city/state on it and neither would you.
2. The gun would transfer tax free on an ATF Form 5 to your heir. Don't know about how it would work for a trust/corp as I always go individual.
3. & 4. A 12.5" barrel would come out flush with the tube. A 14" comes out flush with a 1-shot extension. The 1-shot extension has a side sling loop on it.

Let me suggest anyone looking at buying a factory 14" barrel, give Vang Comp a call. I paid 375 for the barrel with their full vang comp system on it.
considering they charge over 200 to work the barrel over. You can save a considerable amount of money just ordering a stocker from them.

That 14 inch barrel makes for a darn nice looking shotty.
