If a gun is a PRE-86 Dealer Sample why can it only be sold to SOT/class 3 dealer. Since its Pre 86 why not to anyone ?

Any NFA weapon imported into the U.S. after the Gun Control Act of 1968 cannot be transferred to an individual (26 U.S.C.sec. 5844).  They  can be transferred to SOT's and kept by the SOT after surrendering his SOT. These are sometimes called "pre-86 samples",or "dealer samples", although dealer sample can be used to refer to either a post-86 machine gun or to any NFA weapon imported after 1968.

You mean the pre dealer samples. Posties must be sold or destroyed.

I didn't understand why pre-86 samples were so relatively expensive.  The fact they can keep them answers that.

special occupation(al) tax. It is what let's dealers maanufacture (class 2 SOT), or deal (class 3 SOT) NFA items...there are others, but I don't remember them off the top of my head DD Manuf. is one of them, and a few others. This is where "Class 3 dealer" comes from.
