ATF has ruled that the Saiga 12 is a DD!!!

Lol!

 

Out of curiosity, how does DD work? I assume if you have it prior to the change your cool. Could you buy/sell one later? Can you take it to the range or does it turn into a safe queen? Does 922 still apply?

On my USAS-12, it was ok to own if you bought it before Congress ruling went into effect. You have to register it with the BATF and your local police force, by providing them a copy of your finger prints and a photo ID. I am under the impression that I cannot dispose of it or sell it or give it away to any person unless they have a class 3 license. You can buy sell one later with a class 3 license. Maybe a stamp/background check? not sure. You would think, if they allowed you one DD, that you would have unlimited access to grenades, and dynomite, and other DD's. I sincerely doubt that, lol.

No such thing as a Class 3 license. The only reason you would need a Class 3 SOT status is if you intend to deal in NFA. You can sell or transfer the NFA device without a license. You would have to do a Form 4 request for transfer ownership.

 

And actually, if you file the proper NFA forms, you can get as many grenades, and other DD's permitted you pay the imposed bullshit tax on each one.

Thanks for clearing that up, beefcakeb0. Would there be any restrictions on transfer, besides me filling out a Form 4, to, say transferring it to a cousin or nephew? What would their obligations be? (fingerprints, photos, form 4 etc?) Curious. Thanks.

I am not really sure, but THEY are the actual ones who make the request I think, and yes...unless you have a trust set up, it will require them to have fingerprint cards done, and the $200 tax, forms et cetera.

great, just great. WTF am I supposed to do with 40 Saiga 12's I just bought this morning????

 

I just formed a nonprofit organization. You can always donate them to me for a tax write off.

 

Thanks,
