NFA Firearms Catalog
THE FIREARM OWNERS PROTECTION ACTS OF 1986: One of the provisions of the FOPA banned the private possession of machine guns imported or manufactured after the effective date of the Act. This means no machine guns registered after enactment (May 19, 1986) can be transferred to private individuals. BATF further concluded that SOT payers, such as a Class 3 dealer, cannot receive “Post-May “ guns without first presenting a letter from a qualifying govern- ment agency that has requested to see the firearm. These rulings do not apply to other types of NFA firearms.
PRIVATE TRANSFERS: A private citizen can acquire functional NFA firearms from private collec- tions in his own State, provided he first completed the appropriate ATF forms, pays the applicable NFA transfer tax on each firearm and receives BATF approval. If he is receiving any firearm as part of an inheritance where the firearm is identified in the will, the tax can be waived but the paperwork first must be approved before receiving the firearm. If the firearm is nonfunctional and registered as a DEWAT (deactivated war trophy), the tax is not due but the federal paperwork still must be filed and approved before taking receipt of the NFA firearm.
HOW TO PAY THE TAX: If you are acquiring an NFA firearm from a SOT payer, they will provide you with copies of the required paperwork for each firearm being transferred to you. Some states have their own requirements in addition to the federal paperwork. Check with the appropriate licensing bureau in your state.
The federal paperwork involves two forms that are completed in duplicate (ATF form 4 and finger- print card). The front of the ATF form 4 are filled and signed by the seller (see exceptions for SOT payers and corporations below). On the back of the form 4 are placed recent (within one year) photographs (of approximately 2x2”) of the purchaser. The purchaser also signs the block under his photograph. The purchaser’s sheriff, chief judge, police chief, etc endorse the bottom backside of the forms. The second set of forms is FBI fingerprint cards. While the form 4s are being endorsed, ask to be fingerprinted using the cards supplied by BATF. Both the person fingerprinted and the person taking them signs these forms. The seller then mails the paperwork and check for the transfer tax to BATF.
On the average it takes about 90 days for approval. The seller will receive back one of the form 4s with a Federal Transfer Tax Stamp attached to it. This is given to the purchaser when he picks up the NFA firearm. It’s their firearm from then on. NFA firearm owner should safeguard their Forms 4 and other NFA registration papers.
TRAVEL AND USE: Make a copy of your registration papers and carry them with you anytime you travel anywhere with your NFA firearms. Do not take NFA firearms out of state without first checking with BATF. For machine guns, short barrel rifles, and short barrel shotguns, you will need prior approval from BATF on a form 5320.20 to travel interstate or to permanently move NFA firearms to another state. This protects you from accidentally going someplace where they are banned. If the state you are traveling to allows possession of the type of NFA firearm you own, and you have received prior approval on a form 5320.20 (if applicable), then you can transport the firearm through any state just like any other firearm. That means it must be unloaded and readily inaccessible (in a locked case or trunk of the car). While in travel status you are afforded the same protection as any other gun owner under the FOPA 86 law.
