Big Dog Outfitters Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm still a newb at the NFA stuff so looking for some guidance. I have a client with a Qualified MFG Machine Gun Sear in 3 calibers installed in a semi auto HK receiver/clip on lower with a separate serial number on a single form 4. As I understand it, if I remove the 4 position trigger pack and put it into a different gun I have created an illegal SBR from the original host gun. Can I un-marry the sear and create the host gun as a SBR. I understand this would be another tax stamp. I'm acquiring this for my personal collection but I want it to be a transferable sear between host guns. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision Technology Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Your understanding is Correct. You will need to SBR the Original Host that the Registered Sear is presently married to. Once you've gotten the Approved Form back from NFA, you will be able to move the Registered Sear, in the HK Trigger Group, to other Hosts compatible with that configuration. Hope that helps and Congratulations on acquiring the Sear and probably a Ton of Hosts down the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philasteen Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Two notes. 1. Converting the host to an SBR requires both a tax stamp and engraving of the host with your information. 2. There are some exceptions to the rule that a sear can be divorced. In particular if your lower is the unfortunate pushpin drilled sear pack lower (pretty uncommon) you are stuck. If it is the clipped version with shelf you should be GTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Outfitters Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's a clipped with Faux pins glued on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philasteen Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Then divorce away! and definitely look at the good "clone" hosts like the Zenith/MKE. Less than half the price of original HK and every bit as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m60mgman Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 There are clip on registered receiver guns where the receiver, not the sear, was improperly registered as a mg. This sear is not divorceable. It all depends how the gun was registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles733 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Can anyone provide me with the letter I seen one but not able to locate it anymore thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Fish Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Also to note, while SBR'ing the host is a decent idea and I would recommend it, you can usually just remove the stock before you remove the pack/sear. This would make the host gun a pistol again and not an unregistered SBR. This technically only works if the host started life as a pistol. So it depends on the host.
