  1. A large portion of that is insurance.  If you do a lot of shipping, an annual policy that covers shipments will save you quite a bit.

    My policy has a $200 deductible, so I just have to pay for that with USPS, which is $1.60.  I ship USPS overnight (Express) or Registered mail.

  3. I have done about $50K in business with Komodoj and can say without reservation that he is one of the most honest dealers I have ever dealt with.  Always goes above and beyond to make sure I was completely satisfied.  Not sure what's up here, but complaining about a stock on a REPLICA thompson seems petty, especially since the seller gave you 2 additional stocks.

  4. I gave up trying to figure out any logical reasons for why/what the ATF does.  

    I guess that model/serial # is enough.

    I did a FOIA (freedom of information act) request for an NFA item, and all that was required was a serial number.

    Surprisingly, it took only a few weeks to get the results.

  5. My understanding is that the NFA branch will allow you to fix errors on a paper form, but NOT on an E-form.  

    Something to consider if accurate, especially since the Form 4's are taking about the same time for approval in either submission format.

     

  6. talk to them on the phone, preferably video chat (facetime) and ask to see the gun "live".  

    If it is a dealer, only send payment to the name/address on the license (verify in EZ-Check)

    Avoid wire transfers, cash apps (Venmo/paypal), Western Union, etc.  

    Send a cashier's check signature required.

    Form 3/4 can be copied/stolen/forged/altered.  

    Google their name/address/email/phone number and see what comes up.

    Don't be in such a hurry to get a "great deal" that you fall for a scam.  Better to lose out on a legit deal than to get scammed on a great deal.

  7. I don't have first hand experience, but what I have heard is the ATF is denying law letter transfers if (in their sole determination) the machine gun in question is not suitable for law enforcement.  For example, they (the ATF) is saying that a Sten is not a machine gun that any law enforcement agency would realistically use in the line of duty.  Or a belt-fed is not something that they need (an exception might be for a Texas DPS "Gunboat" that patrols the Rio Grande).  But if your local small town Chief of Police wanted an MG-34 or M-60, they are coming under a LOT of scrutiny, and will likely be denied.

    I private messaged the seller, and said I would overnight a certified check.

    They never responded to private message, but I received an email from:

    brutonsalex69@gmail.com

    Here is their email:

     I just shut down the computer after marking it as SPF, you can confirm please. It’s late and I’ve gotten some other inquiries from other members. Just let me know if you’re interested in purchasing it, I had an emergency that my father had an accident so I’ll like to wire the funds to my sister bank account for his treatment. You can surely send a check for the remaining 50% payment once approved. Let me know if you want to make this deal, I’ll forward you the bank details. You’ll get it done at the bank tomorrow morning and send me the payment receipt. 

    Below is the bank details for the wire;
     
    Routing number: 067014822
    Account number: (xxxxxxx)
    Bank name: TD bank 
    Account name: Belinda Jo Allen
    Address.. (deleted)
    Zip code.. 34788
    Swift code  NRTHUS33XXX
     
  9. I realize this occurs in many businesses, but I have noticed a high percentage of FFL's and SOT's who seem to have a hard time with basic customer service concepts.

    This includes dealers large and small.  Full time and "hobbyists"

    Things like returning emails or messages in a timely manner.  Letting you know an item has shipped.  Returning phone calls.  

    Maybe it's me, but I don't think it's too much to ask for when you are dealing with $10K or $50K NFA items.

    OK, rant over.

    Have a great weekend and enjoy the big game.

    EDIT- I should add that this does not apply to the VAST MAJORITY of people I have done business with on Sturm.  My issues have mainly been with a particular well known MG dealer, and more than a few Gunbroker dealers.  Now it is time to relax.

  10. you have to apply for (And receive) a manufacturer FFL (07).

    There is no "conversion" process.

    Once you get your 07, you can then apply for the corresponding SOT (02).

    If you desire, you can let your 01 FFL (and SOT) expire, as the 07 also gives you dealer privileges.

    The only reason to keep both (that I can think of) is if you do transfers from 2 separate locations.
