Got my 07 FFL in December and will be applying for my SOT in a few months. If anyone can get their FFL, I recommend it. Transfers, sales, and manufacturing are a few of the positives.

Way to go. 24 of us now here in the mill in Littleton. 24 gun dealers and two chemistry labs under one roof. Quite the operation. Fun times. Jack.

If you are manufacturing, remember that you need a $2250/uear ITAR registration even if you are not exporting ... unless your manufacturing is purely for R&D purposes. (Yeah, we'e only doing R&D so we can sell patents on anything we invent.....)

I starting to think im out of my mind not getting my ff. The money ill be paying this year to my current dealer just for his services would cover the ffl and sot.
Im sure ill get to it at some point, between family and friends i feel it would almost be cost neutral and there would be some money to be made if i had the ffl.
Its also the only way id ever be able to get the m134 i dream of....getting a law letter for one of those is laughable, but for some reason i think i could get it.

So I just ran into Marsha at the LL Bean kiosk in the Pru - she was returning a stack of flannel shirts and bad jeans that she had bought her wife for the "festive season" (her words), but that she already had - and we got to talking about this whole ATF thing. Apparently she's been super busy lately harassing small businesses and typing up press releases and just hasn't had a chance to respond to their letters. Anyway, she asked me to relay to the ATF that SBRs are cool in MA, and she even laughed (with a strange snorting sound) when I explained that they were concerned that she'd think they were "assault weapons." So to all the ATF agents on here reading this you can definitely go ahead and approve those applications.

Just had an 07 FFL tell me today that he would not transfer a pre 94 unless I could prove it was in MA for five years prior to 94

Modifying/SBR (6/16 BAG rules) a pre 94 would probably require showing proof it was in MA for the -5 yrs

Wonder how he came up with 5 years versus 6 or 4. Fits with everything else that's going on though, let just make up laws.
As an O7 couldn't you just "build" one as an engineering sample? I thought you only need a law letter for an outright transfer. Not sure what the controlled part is on an M134 and how hard it is to
fabricate it, though.

If memory serves me, this was a March 2016 submission
If memory serves me, this was a March 2016 submission
Submitted Form 1 (E-File) in March 2016,,, had email as recent as last week saying that the application was on hold:
they said,,,
The notice makes clear that the guidance will not be enforced against gun owners who bought or sold these weapons prior to July 20, 2016. However, it is unclear whether State law permits the possessor of such an "assault weapon" to make an NFA firearm out of the assault weapon after this date, or whether State law would prohibit this action. Because 26 U.S.C. 5822 requires that ATF deny any application to make an NFA firearm if the making “would place the person making the firearm in violation of the law,” ATF is seeking guidance from the Massachusetts Attorney General before it acts on any applications.
Once this issue is resolved, your application will be processed.
Guess what arrived via Email this afternoon,,,, Status changed to APPROVED !!!
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause.....(you have to be an old guy to get that one)

Wonder who paid for the lawyer? Someone had to have lit a fire under their ass. Either that or maybe when they researched this they figured out that the AG is full of shit.![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
