Re: Contemplating Handling NFA items
Well, as of 28 April, the ATF cashed my check for the SOT so it looks like I will be able to handle NFA stuff come 1 July. I'm starting out with a couple of suppressors for demos for those that want to see how they work and if they want to buy one from me, I'll order it and then when it arrives I'll do my part of the paperwork and then it will be up to the buyer to finish it out.
I try to be as upfront as possible. Since I am not a large company with deep pockets, any NFA item that is ordered through me will have to have a non refundable deposit paid before I order it. I have not determined what that deposit will be yet as I need to get some more info about certain scenerios from my distributor. Once I determine what it is I will publish it.

Re: Contemplating Handling NFA items
Yasu, if you have the chance, stop by the garage sale on June 5 or 6 and we can talk about it, or stop by the shop sometime (I have new hours now that I am retired). In many cases, depending on what is already on the receiver, you may not need it engraved. I've been reading the NFA rules pretty thoroughly as of late and I think many people get confused by all the "info" that is floating around the internet.
My shop hours are Tues-Fri 11am-5pm, Sat 10am-4pm and evenings by appointment. You can always call also 814-867-0867Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: Contemplating Handling NFA items
Well, I am now legal to handle the transfers of SBR's, SBS's MG's and Suppressors. I have studied and talked to a lot of other FFL's and my fee schedule will be $50 to do the transfer of a Class III item that is bought from another FFL. If you purchase a Class III item from me, no transfer fee is required. I have placed an order through the distributor that I will be using and will be getting some SilencerCo suppressors and adapters to demo and sell. The wait is with the ATF to approve the transfer from SilencerCo to me but I hope to have them in early in August. I will be setting up several guns to use as demos so once they arrive, potential customers can stop by the shop to see them in action.

Re: Contemplating Handling NFA items
Congratulations on the expansion of your business. What a shame/scam that you/we need to jump through so many hoops to possess such items. But if it must be (for now anyway) I'm pleased to see one of our own taking the leap.
And I have a question that comes from a couple of posts. What is the "engraving" deal? Do some NFA items requite some sort of unique identifier that a SN doesn't cover?When the SHTF......be the fan.

Re: Contemplating Handling NFA items
Yes they do. If you are going to build your own SBR or SBS or suppressor (on a Form 1) your name (or the name of your trust) and city and state need to be engraved on the receiver to identify the "manufacturer" of the SBR, etc. You can, however, if you choose to do so, use the serial number that the maker of the receiver has already engraved on it. The engraving has to meet certain specifications as outlined by the ATF to be legal. At this point in time, I do not believe that laser engraving goes deep enough into the metal to be legal, but new lasers are coming out that I think will meet the ATF's regs.
If you purchase a SBR, etc. that is already built, the transfer form is a Form 4. Both the Form 1 and the Form 4 have to have the $200 tax stamp affixed before the firearm is legally yours.
I just today picked up a SIG 516 SBR that I won at the last FOAC bash. The approval was astonishingly fast at 2 1/2 months. They received my application on 4/11/15, cashed the check on 4/21/15 and approved it on 7/7/15. Ace Sporting Goods received the Form 4 with the stamp on 7/16/15. I was at an Ohio Gun Collectors Association show this weekend so I picked it up on my way home. Now I'm just waiting for my first shipment of suppressors. Hopefully I'll have them by mid-late August, then I can start demonstrating them at the shop.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member
