NFA Title II Firearms
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2015 4:35 pm
Well, I am adding to my gunsmithing, Cerakoting and firearms transfers business. As of July 1, 2015 I will be able to handle (sell, transfer, etc.) NFA guns which are Suppressors (silencers), SBRs (Short Barreled Rifles), SBSs (Short Barreled Shotguns) and FA (Full Auto) firearms. Don't know how much FA stuff I'll do but I have a few people waiting for me to be able to buy suppressors and to help do the paperwork to buy or build SBRs. Lots of reading and studying the laws so I don't do something wrong but I do a have a few FFL friends that are helping train me.
I had been thinking about it when I retired and opened the shop up full time and went over the top when I was talking to the Sheriff (our CLEO for signing off on the BATFE forms) when he signed for the SBR that I won. He is very 2A friendly and pro gun). He said he was seeing a lot of Form 4's for suppressors lately because people in this area are finally figuring out that they can have them without a lot of trouble and that they can hunt with them (on the appropriate firearms) as there is nothing in the PA game laws that forbids their use. So, if I sell a few suppressors and do a few transfers for people each year that will pay for the special tax I have to pay to do this ($500 per year). It won't happen until July because the tax year for this is July-June with no proration if you start any other time so I have 2 months to get everything ready.
