Fuck the the ATF fucking bastards are going to come steal property or make law abiding citizens criminals 29 years later. All in Obama's crusade to kill the second amendment. |

Go figure, more blow back from that stupid a$$ law suit.
Kind of makes me wonder if the ATF is doing this to piss people off. Like when you were in school and some kid did something stupid, so of punishing the kid directly the teacher hands out a pop quiz for the whole class. No need to punish the kid as the class will do it for her later and as a result no on will ever do what he did again. Maybe the ATFs goal here is to make this law suit end up causing more harm than good for NFA owners so in the future people will no file law suits...just a thought |

Fleming Firearms : produced around 3500 Sears. 2) Hard Times Armory : unknown. HTA did many registered receiver MP5's. 3) Qualified Manufacturing : produced around 1500 Sears. 4) S & H Arms : produced around 1400 Sears. 5) Johnathon Ciener : produced around 250 Sears. 6) Bedrock Class II Weapons and Ammo of Glendale, Arizona 7) Wilson registered sear pack - unknown. 8) LaFrance lower with registered sear - unknown. So I think Fleming,Qualified & S&H certainly did'nt register all on May 20th, article suggest all the HK sear are in trouble sounds crazy to me. |

Very curious if they mean all Fleming sears or just the ones manufactured very late in the game. My serial number is in the H-25xx range, which I think is about 1000 less than the last they made. I don't suppose it missed the cutoff within 48 hours, but it is somewhat concerning.

Mother of GOD.
Ok How would one go about putting in a FOIA request? Any specific lanquage outside of referencing MFG date, registration date, and all transfer history on sear H33xx? As this is on other forums, is there are SN range for Flemming H sears that are "known"? |

Question time:
If I submitted a Form 1 for a Machine gun and it was signed and dated May 18 1986, but sat in a paperwork pile for a month would it still have gotten approved? Or did the paperwork have to be approved by May 19th? |

What is the lowest Fleming sear number anyone has seen or does anyone know what number they started marking the serial numbers with?

Is FOIA request the only way to determine date of manufacture? My Fleming sear is H9xx. Just curious about it with all this scuttle about ATF supposedly scrutinizing Fleming sears.

I am not a lawyer or any sort of NFA expert but I would not submit a FOIA request. FOIA requires a certain level of effort and obligation on the part of .gov agencies and as a result it may create or reveal a problem that you didn't have before. AFAIK, right now you don't have a problem. You are in possession of a legaly registered Machinegun. Trying to make it more legal isn't going to accomplish anything.
As far as I can tell EVERY Internet thread about "ATF confiscating HK sears" round-robins back to the same TTAG posting. Unless something official is issued by ATF, I would not be overly concerned. |

if the sear has been transferred already from the initial form 4..than..it will be fine.
If it has been sitting since day 1 with same owner..it will be confiscated. that is the logic of an ATF local yokel. |

Fleming is a convicted felon, so I doubt he has any sears left in his possession. Fleming figured out a "loophole" to avoid the need for the $200 transfer tax by bouncing gun/transfers through a local (and friendly) Police Department and taking advantage of the fact that transfer "to and from" a qualified agency are tax free. I believe in some cases the PD never even took possession of the guns and there was merely a "paper" transfer through the police department. The government felt it was not a legal tax avoidance loophole but really an illegal tax evasion scheme and tried and convicted him on NFA Tax evasion. http://www.titleii.com/bardwell/us_v_fleming.txt I believe after he was convicted his wife picked up the FFL and held some of the remaining inventory that wasn't originally sold off. I remember Fleming holding a charity auction/sale maybe 7 or 8 years ago and selling off a couple movie guns to help pay for his wife cancer treatment. (I think it was an HK51 and/or 51K used by Steven Segal in a film or two) Pretty sure his son has an FFL now but no clue how many original sears may have been passed down from him after his conviction to his wife and then ultimately to his son. |
