Depends upon your status.

If you are a C&R licensed collector, then the seller fills out a tax paid $200 form 4 and direct ships to you across state lines after the form 4 paperwork is approved.

If you are not a C&R licensed collector then you try and find a Destructive Device dealer in your state of residence, the seller does the tax paid form 4 direct to your destructive device dealer then the DD dealer does a tax paid form 4 to you. So $400 in taxes.

Now if you can not locate a DD dealer in your area, any FFL with or without the SOT to deal in NFA firearms other than destructive devices, the most common type of license. Can contact the BATFE and document there is not DD dealer for you to use, then the seller submits the tax paid form 4 to that dealer ATF approves it, and then that dealer form 4 tax paid to you.

The only way to avoid the double $200 tax is for you to be a C&R license collector.

Assuming from your vague description of your location you are in Illinois, so you will have to find out if Large Bore Destructive Devices are legal in Illinois, if not then you will need a storage location at a temp. residence outside the state. Illinois is not a popular firearm state, let alone NFA firearms so the peoples I hang out with on the web would not know much about Illinois and NFA.
