ATF May Soon Reclassify Some Machine Guns as “Post Sample”

Normally a manufacturer has 48 hours to notify the ATF that they made a machine gun. Making something one day and sending the paperwork the next is A-OK for manufacturers and pretty common practice. The issue at hand is that there were a number of manufacturers — specifically Flemming, S&H, and Vollmer, who were cranking out H&K sears like there was no tomorrow (which there wasn’t) — who manufactured registered machine gun sears prior to the deadline on the 19th but failed to file the paperwork until the 20th.

Our sources are telling us that people in possession of such a sear will be getting a nasty letter and possibly a knock on the door to inform them that they are now illegally in possession of a “post sample” machine gun.

The entire ATF and the NFA need to go away. Not that I expect it to without drastic stuff going down...

Should be illegal to change status once it's givin. All the departments run wild with regs. Progressives suck.

Best to wait for this to play out. NFA is always wild with rumors and propaganda. Anyone still waiting for the CLEO sign-off requirement on an F4 to go away...
