Tax Stamp Question

[Pupil2Prodigy]

$200 tax stamp mandatory for all weapons or just short barreled weapons?

 

[ntomsw]

Anything shorter then 16".

 

[Acme.Armament]

Anything shorter then 16".

Short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, desctructive devices, any other weapon (AOW, an actual classification), or anything else that the BATFE thinks is NFA-worthy.

NFA items require tax stamps (there may be some exceptions I'm unaware of).

I think you have quite a bit of NFA research to to before you do anything.

You mean in 6-9 months ?

If you transfer it already built as an aow (or form 4 it), it is $5. If you make an aow (form 1 an aow), its still $200.

They received my paperwork and cashed my check on Oct 23 2012 for a Tax stamp for a SBR, still no stamp I am coming around the corner almost there

It has to be something you do and just forget about or maybe thats just how I choose to do it, all good thing's come to those who wait.

Hey guys, along the same lines, would a wallet holster with a trigger hole and hole for spent ejecting brass be classified as AOW if it was legally possessed long before ATF considered them AOW be legal?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think any NFA items are 'grandfathered'.

I don't get it ? It's just a holster lol

It'd be considered an operational holster, meaning it can be fired from it. Same with the mp5 briefcases, making it an AOW.

Just call it a dust cover and you're covered.

The shooter or the weapon?

So how would the owner register it if such a thing existed? Would it cost $200 or $5, hypothetically if the item was bought in the early 80's and possessed since then?

NFA items need to be registered when created. There is no legal way to take an existing non-registered NFA firearm and register it within the law. About the only exceptions are

(1) Items that are registered but for which ATF lost the paperwork - if you have your copy they'll put them into their system, but this isn't really "unregistered" per se

(2) Very old historical firearms, generally which were created before the NFA existed and are of primarily collectors' value, may be declared to be non-NFA weapons by ATF decision. This primarily covers SBR/SBS from pre-34, and to my knowledge cannot be done for machine guns.

Or cane guns.



There was an "amnesty" about 20 years ago, where stuff was allowed to be "made legal,", but that was a Limited Time Offer

They are 5 dollars to BUY one. If you make you're own they are 200$..

The holster by itself is fine. It is when the holster is attached to a gun that it becomes an AOW. As the firearm is the registered item, you would need to register the gun as an AOW. It is the same concept as adding a k grip to an sp89.
