so what is required to purchase the good stuff...

[Younggun]

I have considered getting an ffl for a while but after researching it i'm not sure that i would be able to meet the requirment as a dealer in order to build the full auto ar i really want. i have actually gotten more confused on requirments for other purchases. My questions are:

1. Do i need an FFL to purchase a suppresor

2. What is the averagw cost of setting up a trust

3. could i build an mg and register it to a trust.

nope a trust..or if your local chief LE officer will sign off on a from 4 you dont need the trust.

2. What is the averagw cost of setting up a trust
I PAID $450
3. could i build an mg and register it to a trust.

no only would be able to buy transferrable MG. you can build sbs and sbr's.....you have to be a manufacutre to build and posess a new mfg mg.

1. No, yOu need a trust.
2. Sounds about right.
3. No. You will need a FFL/SOT to do that.

Thanks, not near as bad as i thought it would be to get a suppressor.

What can not be outright banned in the USA will be taxed!

No new machine guns can be made post 1986 by civilians. B/C of supply and demand that means it is going to cost you 8-20k to get one.

You need to talk to the Gun Trust Lawyer Sean Cody.. Only one that you should take legal advice from, or trust legal documents from.
My two cents..

Cough cough.

1. Do i need an FFL to purchase a suppresor.
No. Individuals can possess suppressors with an approved form 4 or build one with an approved Form 1. .

2. What is the averagw cost of setting up a trust.
approximately $500. Call Sean Cody. .

3. could i build an mg and register it to a trust.
No. You would need to obtain an SOT type 7 FFL license to manufacture firearms.

Good luck

Incorrect. The correct answers have already been given in this thread.

Thank bith... but look at this guys original post.. without explaining what a SOT ffl7 does.. the short answer is .. No machine guns can be made by individuals. I did not mean civilian as military vs. regular citizen even though it came off that way..

He is so far off it isn't funny. He was not saying I cannot become a ffl07... he meant FFL type 1. An FFL to get a suppressor? He did not do very much research obviously.

Ah, I get what you meant now. I agree getting a suppressor is easy.

My main point of confusion was the fact of getting a suppresor without an ffl, i was unsure of building mg's because i have known people in the past who had built them, apperently for sale to government agencies, i did not pry into their buisness, but they had friends in law enforcment who would come out and shoot so i assume all was legal. Most of my research was done using the batf faq link found in some threads which seemed to point to ffl for suppresors. It is hard to find people with good knowledge on the subject who can give simple yes or no asnswers. Ya'll are very helpfull when it comes to this and it is very appreciated.

Those people you knew who built machine guns to sell to gov agencies had 07/02 licenses. You'll need to find a class 2 or 3 SOT and pick out the suppressor you want, then send the paperwork to BATFE. Hardest part is the wait.
