Ask a Firearms Dealer Anything (SRS)

Always see a lot of people on the misc that have incorrect assumptions about firearms, gun laws, and how dealers operate so figured this would be a good thread to start. There are also a lot of gun brahs on the misc that have questions.

I have an 07 Manufacturer of Firearms License as well as a NFA (National Firearms Act) Class II SOT (Special Occupancy Taxpayer).

I am licensed to deal and manufacture firearms as well as possess, deal and manufacture NFA items such as Machine Guns, Suppressors, Short Barreled Rifles etc.

Worked in the gun industry for 6-7 years, moved on to other things, then decided with as many guns as I buy I might as well get an FFL.

Mine is a home based FFL so my store is my garage.

What are your questions?

How much do you charge to transfer non-NA firearms?
Disagree with a Marxist and you will be targeted as part of the problem.

Can you send me a gun? I live in England. Just wrap it in packaging that makes it look like a dildo. It'll blend in with the rest of my mail.

As a consumer I hate high transfer fees. As a dealer I understand them.

I have a low fee because I don't have overhead and I don't carry much stock. You would be surprised at how much staff time and $$$ goes into receiving, selling and disposing of a transferred firearm. All you see is the 4473 completion and getting rung up at the register.

If someone finds an automatic Thompson in their granddads attic and it has no papers or anything.

Is there any way to check if it was registered?

If not the only option is museum or scrap receiver and sell for parts?

What should a person do if he or she comes into possession of an unregistered NFA firearm?

Contact the nearest ATF office immediately. A listing of the telephone numbers can be found online atwww.atf.gov/contact/atf-field-divisions.

I could, but then you would have to pay for me to ship it to a dealer near you, and pay a transfer fee to that dealer. Be cheaper to just order it through that dealer

Definitely not sell for parts, there will be at least one part in there that is itself a machine gun by law
