So I failed today.Let me explain and maybe it will help someone else.
I made a new freind who purchased a Ceiner 9mm suppressor around 1990 it sat in his safe and he fired around 40 rds through it on a mac 10. He sold it to me for 200.00. Gave me a bill of sale and the info from his trust for transfer.
So I am not a total virgin at NFA, quite a few years ago(1999) I registered my Sp89 as a Sbr so I could put the K grip and side folder on it. It took about a year to receive the stamp. While I do not agree with registration,It is the only legal way to have the features I wanted. So back to my fail today.Two days ago I called My favorite Sporting good store about their Silencers Shop kiosk and asked if I could use it to transfer a suppressor I purchased from a freind. I was told Yes and not to bring the suppressor(that I canât anyway as the owner holds until I get my approved stamp!) Asked how much for the transfer they said 25.00 plus 200 tax.I was excited thinking maybe in 3 months I could have my stamp and suppressor!Drive 36 miles to find out I cannot transfer or submit a form 4 from a trust to me the new owner. I will have to get finger print cards again and a passport photo and snail mail it in. Looks like I will be wearing sweaty muffs for another year. On the bright side I picked up some 147 plated projectiles to load up while I wait.
Yeah its ridiculous. Suppressors are nothing more than hearing and noise protection. The should at least be unregulated up to 80 decibels. Below that they can tax.
no. taxing us for suppressors is their only way of screwing us since they canât actually make suppressors illegal. Taxing us for NFA items and in fact the NFA itself is infringement.
You need to check the laws, but if memory serves me correctly your friend has to transfer it to a NFA liceansed FFL and then you transfer it also. $400 in stamps. I may be wrong on that though and that may apply only if you arnt in the same state. I havent read that part of the NFA in a long time.
I do know itâs a one time tax he paid when he aquired now I pay. The only way it is 400 would be 2 stamps one for can one for sbr or if it was machine gun.
You canât buy a motor vehicle without a muffler - whyever in Hells does the US Government seem to think theyâre Evil on a firearm? In Europe - continent of gun-and-personal-freedom-curtailment; that muffler on the end of your boomstick is considered âBeing a Good Neighborâ. And while âRegulatedâ a bit, is more like buying OTC Aspirin than a âfirearm accessory.â
Because politicianâs watch movies where people use them to shoot someone in a room and the person next to them apparently doesnât hear it. Theyâve conditioned the general public to think thatâs how suppressors work too so theyâre going to keep pushing it. All the while repeating the label âSilencerâ. After all the anti-gunners love any kind of infringement large or small and we canât have people walking around shooting someone next to them and no one can hear it.
Iâm not an SOT, but Iâm pretty sure itâs supposed to go through an SOT to transfer from one party to the other. But personally, I have only bought form 4s and filed form 1s, so I really dont know. Plus, I havenât obtained an NFA item in a few years, so Iâm a little rusty.
Iâm glad I double checked as my form 4 was not double sided. Fortunately it is in the same state so no dealer is needed.
I just got my finger prints done this morning, submitted my CLEO copy and got a US post office money order for 200.00.
all I need is to redo the form printed on double sided and mail it off and wait and hope I filled it out to their satisfaction!
Ha ha that is funny.
You know what would not be funny? Waiting the 310 day average and getting it denied then having to fix the mistake and wait again.
The real funny thing is they had a message that they are overwhelmed and it would probably increase wait times. Thanks to the 250,000 + who register their pistols as sbr for their âfree stampâ
