I was worried that my Hesse M16 I bought last week was illegal after the discussion on this board. The BATF sent two agents to my house within 15 minunts of the call I made. They demanded to see the rifle and about two seconds later they told my that it was illegal and they asked who I purchased it from. I showed them my reciept and they said that they had had other reports of that man selling Sten MK-IIs that he built himself at the same gun show for $750. They then told me no charges would be filed since I cooperated, told the truth, and
turned in the man who sold it to me. They also told me that for a reward I could keep the rifle if I paid THEM the transfer tax and gave them the rifle until my stamp came in the mail (provided I could get a cheif LEO to sign off). They also told my that the dealer who sold me the rifle would have to return the $1200 I gave him for the rifle. So, I thanked them, gave them my rifle for the time being, visited my CLEO, and got the papers signed! So for all you that think I am a TROLL, I am NOT. But I did just screw the ATF into giving my a post sample M-16 for $200!

Doesn't sound like you screwed the ATF, rather, that the ATF agents were extremely cool.
Imagine that...[:D]

No way I don't buy it!
There's no way they would just "let" you have after paying for the transfer.
From what you said, you gave them the rifle to hold onto until the stamp came, you probably just payed for those 2 guys tabs for the next 2 nights.
I don't buy it.

Yeah, the ATF came to my house and spoke with my wife, Morgan Fairchild, whom I've slept with. Yeah, that's the ticket.

When I said "them" I meant the ATF. I have to mail in my forms with the $200 just like everyone else. The agents gave me a confirmation number to put on the forms so that the post 86 weapon will be approved. I am not a troll.

Get a lawyer, I aint buying this.
They also told me that for a reward I could keep the rifle if I paid THEM the transfer tax and gave them the rifle until my stamp came in the mail (provided I could get a cheif LEO to sign off). They also told my that the dealer who sold me the rifle would have to return the $1200 I gave him for the rifle.

In general I can go along with calling the ATF for a scumbag illegal dealer. I can also see that there is immunity for turning in an illegal weapon voluntarily. I can also see getting the guy's money back through forfeiture after arrest or court ordered restitution. What I can't see is the US government breaking the law and authorizing the transfer into private hands of a post sample machine gun.

I'm an ATF agent, so if this happens to you again, you can save a phone call and just contact me via IM, I will come over and take the M16 and $200 until the approval and then get back in touch with you.
Edited to add: I will also give you a special confirmation number to make everything ok.

I never knew that it was possible to not only BLATANTLY violate the law, admit to it, then sweet talk the ATF into GIVING you the evidence.
I wish I had the cajones to try to skirt the law like that

I haven't been around here too long, but do people like hessem16 always seem to show up around the time middle school ends for the summer? I've noticed the trend on Usenet and other places, as well.
Dude, shouldn't you at least be trying to BS your way into a date (with a girl, this time), rather than trying to BS people who are fully aware that you're full of sh!t?
