Hypothetically, the employee in charge of renewing the license may have failed to submit paperwork...a first ever...oversight. Otherwise, ATF inspections and log books have been spotless for 20+ years.

Hypothetical question: If an SOT Class 2/Type 7 FFL dealer accidentally forgets to renew their FFL, and they have post-sample machine guns in their inventory, how soon do the samples need to be transferred out, can they be transferred to any other SOT holder, and what form should they be transferred on?

After 20 years of keeping flawless records, I accidentally let my FFL expire. Since I don't use my FFL much anymore, rather than renew, I've just decided to give up my license. I transferred all my inventory to my personal possession; however, I had one post-sample machine gun that I had to sign over to my local police department (I have a good relationship with them). My question is this: If I sell the machine gun to another SOT FFL dealer, will they need to provide a demo letter, or is a demo letter not necessary because the firearm came from a dealer who forfeited his FFL?
