[Can a C & R purchase a pre-sample?]

What about the following situation.  A  WW2 machine gun that is now eligible to be a C&R was imported prior to the 1968 ban on importation for sale to civilians.  It is bought by an a FFL/SOT on a Form 3  for his inventory but never transferred out to a civilian on a Form 4.  It was never listed as a dealer sample, but remains in inventory till after the 1968 importationtation ban.  

Would the gun be considered as a transferable C&R?

Prior to the 1968 ban on importation for sale to civilians, did  a  dealer FFL/SOT have to acquire a MG as a dealer sample or could an FFL/SOT transfer into his  inventory on a Form 3 from an importer or import himself a Machine gun for sale to civilians on a Form4  ?

[MG34 questions.. (becoming a 8mm ammo list)]

Has anyone had experience with Sarge's Military Surplus,, The have some 2013 Romainian manufactured bernadine primed noncorrosive steel cased 7.92 x 57. I have seen some older posts that their ammo was unreliable. Any experience with the old or new ammo.  Is the new 2013 product different from the older reportedly unreliable ammo?

Anyone tried sellir Belott (?spelling) ammo. I saw some 8mm SB Mauser hunting ammo  recently.  I think it was fairly new production.  If I get a chance I will chrono the PPV 1984 that I have.

i have also seen some of the German ww2   Ammo on some of the auction sites. I guess the main question is how it was stored. Would this be a reasonable source?  Given the price will probably be relatively high.

Do you have any pics of the MG 34.  Are there any accessories included?

Are you still looking to sale?  Is it the Green Lacquer or the Red?  Can it be shipped?

Thanks,

I picked up some of these earlier this year.  I have not tried any yet. I have the semi version of the MG34.  I think it is Privi Partisan with a date of 1978. Trying to find out if that is what it is and how reliable is it?

Thanks.

Are any of the MG 34s available? If so, are there any accessories available or included?

So it seems the availability of good quality ammo is one of the factors that affects their ability to run well.  What about reloading your own ammo?  Assuming you have good quality control and good equipment to reload with?  I will start looking around for the 8mm mauser ammo. is there much made in the US and does it function well, or do you have to find good quality surplus from overseas?

Guys, thanks for the information.  I will keep looking.  i have seen a few DS around, and maybe one or two transferables, but its been pretty scarce.  How many bolts do you typically keep around.  I heard you need 2 or 3 or more?  Any other spare parts it would be good to have around.  If the gun is in good shape, how reliable should it function?

Thanks

Have been looking around for an MG 34 (FA not Semi) but have not seen many transferable and or C&R available.  What price are these bringing these days.  Is there anything to be aware of when looking at one?  I have seen several Pre-May Dealer Samples, and was also wondering about prices for those.  Appreciate your information?

Steve,

hope you are able to work out your dilemma. This has been very informative.  I have only had experience with Form 4 transfers. So, how do you tell if a gun on a Form 3 is transferable to a civilian on a Form 4?  Is there some reference or red letter notation regarding the transfer of the gun being restricted in the Approved box at the bottom of the Form 3 ?  Is there some other notation on the Form 3 that the gun is a Dealer Sample or the transfer is restricted somehow ?  Along these lines, is there a way of determining when a foreign machinegun  was imported so as to differentiate it from being transferable on a Form 4 vs a PreMay DS Keeper vs Post 86 DS requiring a Law Letter?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.  I had looked through the NFA Handbook, but must have overlooked that section.  I will go back and review again.

Many thanks.

[Pre May Dealer Sample in an LLC with FFLSOT]

Does anyone have experience with a PreMay Dealer Sample owned by an LLC that is licensed as an FFL and SOT. As I understand, an individual, who is a sole proprietor, and also is an FFL SOT owns a PreMay DS, and later lets the SOT and the FFL go, the individual can keep the PreMay DS as long as he is alive.  But if the dies, the PreMay DS must then be transferred to another FFL SOT, or the Government or Military.  If the dealer is an LLC (Limited Liability Company), and is registered as the FFL and SOT, and owns a PreMay DS, later drops the SOT and FFL, what would happen to the PreMay DS. Would the LLC be able to keep the PreMay DS, even though it was not an FFL with SOT, as long as the LLC remained active? This would seem to be the same case as the individual sole proprietor, except the LLC is an entity, and not a person.  And in theory, the LLC could go on indefinitely.
