"(M2) How can an individual legally acquire NFA firearms? [Back]
Basically, there are 2 ways that an individual (who is not prohibited by Federal, State, or local law from receiving or possessing firearms) may legally acquire NFA firearms:
By transfer after approval by ATF of a registered weapon from its lawful owner residing in the same State as the transferee.
By obtaining prior approval from ATF to make NFA firearms.
[27 CFR 479.62-66 and 479.84-86 ]
(M3) What is the tax on making an NFA firearm? [Back]
The tax is $200 for making any NFA firearm, including "any other weapon."
Unless you are a manufacturer you can NOT register a NFA (SBS or AOW) weapon.
Do what you want but I prefer my "family heirloms and curio's" not be evidence that would put me in prison !To advise someone otherwise is scary.
