Please, avoid jokes and speculative conjecture.
If one were to purchase a firearm and have it shipped to his state and the firearm were an ar15/m16 type full auto weapon, what should one do in order to comply with the law if the weapon is not tranfer tax eligible?. Would one be proper and legal to request that the BC, FCG, and lower reciever be removed and submittted to ATF while taking possession of the remaining components with which the weapon was built? What would/should be the best thing for a person in this situation to do? Would the non-m16 parts of the full auto weapon be legially aquireable in this circumstance? |

To the OP:
You've got the steps backwards, so that's why you're confused. You buy an NFA gun. The seller submits a Form 3 or 4 (or maybe even 5) to the ATF. When, and only when, it comes back to the seller approved, does he ship the gun to your dealer. So, if it wasn't eligible for transfer, the seller would still have the gun and would have to provide you a refund. |

That is a problem for the receiving dealer. He should just send it back to the sender. |

No, the dealer should contact the sender and see why he shipped that gun and to for whom. It is probably just a simple error. |

I think I've got this
Post ban (86) AR lower with M-16 fire control group installed and a M-16 Bolt carrier group as well. Basically and unregistered M-16? Well, according to the ATF, once a machinegun always a machinegun. I, for one, would take all of the fire control group out and throw it in a lake after takin a band saw to it. You can legally have the M-16 BCG in it. If I picked this gun up from my FFL and did not know any of this and discovered it upon the initial cleaning at my house of course I would immediately take that action. I woulld hope to God that I didn't find this out while at the range. I would leave, post haste if I did. That is of course if the person you bought from just accidentally send you a post ban weapon instead of the preban one you did buy. |
