Step 3: get back to ATF, Send them copies of the rejection letters, and ask that they accept a letter of police clearance, or a police letter saying you have no criminal record/history with them, in lieu of the certification, together with your certification that you are OK, and that the weapon would be legal for you to have where you live. They will either respond OK, or with more persons to try. If you reach the point where they will not accept the police clearance letter, and not designate someone who has not turned you down, you can sue, if the certification is for a Form 1, or the transferor (seller) on a Form 4 can sue.

As this does constitute the addition of existing unregistered weapons to the Registry, in my opinion the Secretary should have used the amnesty procedures in the 1968 GCA. He did not because he did not want folks to be able to register any unregistered NFA weapon, there is not a procedure for limiting the scope of an amnesty (although I suppose the Secretary of the Treasury could have made one up, and let people sue him). However the fact that ATF chose not to either grandfather these shotguns, like they did with the open bolt MAC style semi-autos, or pre 11/81 AR-15 Accessories drop in auto sears, or have an amnesty, and require they be registered, in my opinion will cloud any attempts to prosecute persons possessing these weapons without having registered them.

The case is something to which you can point a CLEO who claims to refuse to do the signoff because of liability. Incidentally Stephen Halbrook, a leading lawyer in gun rights cases, and a longtime lawyer for the NRA, as well as an author, says in a note in Machine Gun News (3/95) this case is the only instance of a registered machine gun being criminally misused by its registered owner he is aware of. And it was by a police officer.

26 USC sec. 5845(g) “Antique firearm.-The term ‘antique firearm’ means any firearm not designed or redesigned for using rim fire or conventional center fire ignition with fixed ammunition and manufactured in or before 1898 (including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system or replicas thereof, whether actually manufactured before or after the year 1898) and also any firearm using fixed ammunition manufactured in or before 1898, for which ammunition is no longer manufactured in the United States and is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.”



eotech xps

Well folks, thought i’d update my experience with my xps – and it aint looking so good. The optic is a nice unit and holds zero and all – however, mine only went about 18-20 hours before the battery took a shit. And here i thought this model with the cr123 battery was suppose to have a longer battery life. Hell, my N cell lasts longer than that. I put a new battery in it and will be keeping track of how many hours are on it. Maybe the factory supplied battery was faulty – yeah right. This was my last ditch effort to keep buying into eotechs. I like the circle dot set up on the eotechs (a lot) but if this new battery dies again – i’m switching out all my eotechs to aimpoints. The aimpoints never die even when you leave them on for days / weeks / months at a time. I’m having a hard time anymore trusting eotechs to be there when i need them most. Reply With Quote

Repairing NFA weapons
As it is illegal for anyone to have possession of an NFA firearm that is not registered to them, getting the guns repaired, or worked on, can be a hassle. There are two choices: if the gunsmith is in the same state as the registered owner the owner can take the gun in, and wait while it is worked on. If the owner cannot wait, the gun must be transferred to the gunsmith, on a Form 5, and returned to the owner by filing a Form 5 to transfer possession back to the owner. If one wishes to have an out-of-state gunsmith work on the gun, even if the owner can wait with the gun, the owner must either transfer it to the gunsmith, or file the form 5320.20 to move it interstate to the gunsmith. One need not be an SOT to have NFA weapons transferred to him for repair. One does need to have a type 01 FFL to work as a gunsmith though. NY, in a fit of benevolence, allows licensed gunsmiths there to receive machine guns for repair, when machine gun possession there is otherwise limited to the police, and manufacturers with government contracts. When submitting a Form 5 for repair one checks the “Other” box in item 1, type of transfer, writes in “repair” next to the box, and submits a letter detailing (generally, e.g. “The purpose of this transfer is to have the [weapon] refinished.”) what is to be done. The back of the form, with the certifications and photograph need not be completed. The turnaround time on Form 5′s for this purpose seems to be at least a month, or a minimum wait of two months, to transfer it to the ‘smith and back. There is no transfer tax.

It is helpful, in general, to quote the certification text, that is what you are asking them to certify. For a Form 4 it reads, “I certify that I am the chief law enforcement officer of the organization named below having jurisdiction in the area of residence of (name of transferee). I have no information that the transferee will use the firearm or device described on this application for other than lawful purposes. I have no information indicating that the receipt and/or possession of the firearm described in item 4 of this form would place the transferee in violation of State or local law.”


Tax exemptions
Law enforcement, states, and local governments are totally exempt from the making and transfer (either to or from) taxes, but must comply with the registration requirements. While the NFA only specifically provides that there is no transfer tax due when the US government is the transferee, (26 USC sec. 5852(a)), or a state governmental entity (26 USC sec. 5853(a)), ATF has made up an exemption from the transfer tax where any US or state governmental entity is the transferor, see ATF Chief Counsel Opinion numbers 20023 and 20400. Abuse of that exemption, as in transferring guns through governmental entities so as to avoid transfer taxes, has been prosecuted. See U.S. v. Fleming, 19 F.3d 1325 (10th Cir. 1994).
