Class 3 Purchase Process

Machine guns, suppressors, short barrel rifles/shotguns (SBR/SBS) are all completely legal to own in most states (those that honor/protect our individual freedoms - you're out of luck if you live in a state that does not honor freedom). Please CLICK HERE to see if you live in a free state.

If you've never gone through the process of purchasing one of these items, it's really not that complicated

(it just seems that way, if you've never done it before).

These items can be owned by an INDIVIDUAL, a TRUST, or a CORPORATION.

Here's what's involved for INDIVIDUAL ownership



STEP 1 I will complete two copies of an ATF Form 4 for you (the only info I need from you is your full name, mailing address and county).


STEP 2 You get two passport photos done (Walgreen's or CVS pharmacy can do them in about 15 minutes in their photo processing section) .

 

STEP 3 I'll provide you with an ATF Form 5330.20, which simply verifies your citizenship status. You fill in lines 1 & 2, check the appropriate box on line 5 and sign/date on line 7.


STEP 4 I'll also provide you with two fingerprint cards that you'll use to get your fingerprints done (it's usually easiest to get the prints done when you go to your local law enforcement agency's office in step 5).


STEP 5 Take everything to your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) and have him/her sign on the back side of both copies of the ATF Form 4.


STEP 6 I will mail the whole packet, along with a $200 check from you (a one time fee that pays your transfer tax - also called "tax stamp") to the ATF.


STEP 7 8-16  weeks later, when I get your approved paperwork back from the ATF, I can transfer the NFA item to you along with your ATF approved Form 4.

This can take longer in times of high volume

Here's what's involved for TRUST ownership



STEP 1 I will complete two copies of an ATF Form 4 for you (the only info I need from you is your full name, mailing address and county). You simply sign & date.
STEP 2
I'll provide you with an ATF Form 5330.20, which simply verifies your citizenship status. You fill in lines 1, 2 & 3 and sign/date on line 7.
STEP 3
I WILL DRAW UP A TRUST FOR YOU There is a $50 fee for the trust preporation.
STEP 4
You sign the trust documents in front of a notary and it notarized. Make a copy and send it back to me (so that I can submit it to the ATF along with your ATF Form 4).
STEP 5
I will mail the whole packet, along with a $200 check from you (a one time fee that pays your transfer tax - also called "tax stamp") to the ATF.
STEP 6
8-16 weeks later (approximately) when I get your approved paperwork back from the ATF, I can transfer the NFA item to you along with your ATF approved Form 4.

The TRUST is by far the easiest method of ownership. You'll spend 1/10th the time completing your paperwork if you use a TRUST (instead of INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP), because you won't need passport photos, fingerprint cards, or the CLEO's signature. There is no "down side" to a trust.

I do not recommend ever going the CORPORATION route for NFA ownership. Businesses change and/or dissolve eventually (and then you'll have the hassle of dealing with your NFA items that are the property of the corporation). A TRUST or INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP will last your lifetime.

If you have any questions about the process, please don't hesitate to call me and ask. My goal is to take the mystery out of it all and make it simple, easy and care free.
