Rough break-down:What are the different "Forms" for NFA items? What is each use for?
Dave
Different process... They can purchase new hardware from a class III dealer/FFL. I don't know the specifics of the process, but IIRC, it does not involve an NFA tax or a form 3/4...So if a police department wants to buy am m16, what form is that/how is that done?
Dave
Cekim is correct.. All you really need to know is.
form 1. do it yourself.
form 4. buy from a dealer.
form 5. if you plan on taking the gun out of state.

depends on where it came from, will be either a form 5 or form 10So if a police department wants to buy am m16, what form is that/how is that done?

Minor point, if you by a gun from out of state from a NON DEALER, it will go form 4 from them to your in state dealer, from your dealer to you on a Form4 (2 form4's, no form3) also if the gun is C&R and you have a C&R license it can go right to you using a Form4...thats correct but with a F4 you can also buy from an individual if they are within the same state as you and have it go directly from them to you. Case in point.... the last machine gun I bought I got from a buddy who also lived in MA and it was done on 1 F4 from him to me (one transfer) and no dealer is required. If you go out of state it has to go from that dealer to your in state dealer on a F3 and then from your dealer to you on a F4.
