MG Transfer

"Poprivit you are incorrect, this is an opportunity for you to listen and learn and understand."

Thanks for clearing this up, David

Even if you're wrong.

[I] Non-FFL holders may only purchase an NFA weapon from a dealer or individual within their own state. If the weapon is located out of state it must be transferred to a class 3 dealer within the state, before transfer to the non FFL purchaser. C&R FFL holders (type 03) may purchase C&R NFA guns from out of state dealers and individuals. Type 01 FFL holders, who are not qualified to deal in NFA weapons, that is are not SOT taxpayers (see below) may purchase any fully transferable (no dealer samples, see below) NFA weapon, from an out of state source. If the FFL holder is an individual he must submit fingerprints, photograph, and the law enforcement certification.[/I]

Well played David, well played.

The dealer->dealer does not equal individual->dealer->dealer-> individual. However, that poses an interesting question...

Are individual to individual transfers prohibited across state lines? Being that they're federally regulated it seems like it would be ok. Say, to a couple guys between Florida and Georgia.

Am I wrong in thinking that the dealer 'owns' things on the form 3 thus does not require a tax paid? Or once an individual (such as myself) owns something on a form 4 it may not go back to a dealer on a form 3 to be sold to someone else?

Interesting can of worms...

What you posted is absolutly correct, but just because somone can buy a NFA firearm does not mean they are not subject to paying the transfer tax.

If the Stemple was a C&R qualified gun which it is not, then an out of state C&R collector could in fact but the gun across state lines on one form 4 tax paid.

Since you are the seller, any FFL-01 dealer across state lines or in state could buy your gun with one tax on form 4. Any FFL dealer with SOT would buy the gun tax paid on form 4. The FFL each would pay a second form 4 tax if the final buyer was not a SOT dealer.

You might do this as a gun collector owner of NFA but I do it for a living. In this case I am right no matter how many times you point out I am wrong.

I suggest you contact the dealer you bought the Stemple from, ask them if they can buy it back from your tax free. Or contact any NFA dealer in any state and see if they can buy your gun tax free. They can not.

All that aside, the Stemple as you have it is a fun/affordable gun and the factory silencer is the quietest 45 subgun combination I have ever heard. My original post was only my opinion that you priced your gun such that sales would likely be limited to in state individual purchasers as $800 in tax is going to limit the desire for the combination.

You asked it we would buy it, in my opinion as a NFA dealer at your price, no I would not buy it.

Probably not, short of seeing it as an investment that will increase in value as time progresses.

There are just so many other more practical firearms I would rather have.

Got it. I noticed the incongruent second part, but chalked it up to liberal mental disorder. Now that I know you were being facetious......I LOL'd



To answer the OP, I would buy a full auto if the price were reasonable. Right now, the price is not. If I did, it would be an M4 style followed by an MP5sd. Later on I'd get an M2hb. Hey, I can dream can't I?

MAC 10 .45 subguns sell for a hell of a lot less than $6000.

Form 4

Well, according to my SOT, if I sell the MG and it transfers through a dealer, the only person who pays a tax is the buyer, not the seller. I can go FTF inside my state with only one Form 4. I do not have to pay a transfer tax, or acquire a tax stamp if I sell the gun. The tax stamp is bought by the buyer.

Legally speaking, there is no transfer tax. There is a transfer stamp that sells for $200 to the buyer.

Pop rivit one tax paid on an in state transfer is correct. Does not matter to the BATFE who pays it. If it transfers to a dealer then a tax is paid, dealer to dealer tax free, dealer to form 4 buyer tax paid.

So if you get your gun sold in your own state use the dealer to help you fill the papers if you need to but sell the gun direct to the buyer cause if it transfers through the dealer it will be two taxes, for no good reason, if it goes to individual buyer it will require two taxes, one to a dealer then one to the final buyer.
