lonniejt Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 (edited) I have the subject M3 Grease Gun in my eFile Form 3 Inventory, ready to transfer out. I believe it is "C&R" rated, so I would try to Transfer to your C&R License. All Guide Lamp Grease Guns are "C&R" rated; however, in my Inventory and when I acquired her years ago, the Manufacturer was and is currently listed as "Unknown", but you can clearly see in the pics that the Stampings for Guide Lamp are present. It has a Serial Number of "IRS 4740A". I have been advised by other Dealers that the reason for this unusual serial number is that it was possibly registered in the 1968 Amnesty Period - I have no idea honestly. I do know that she "runs" like she should and I have a YouTube Video of me shooting her: do a search on YouTube for "Crowder Farms Enterprises" and you should find it, along with some other video's. I am hoping that here is a link "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Vm4j_saHc7I" I am offering her with two Grease Gun Magazines for $38,000, plus shipping and/or pick-up here in Alabama. According to the "Machinegunpriceguidelines" web site, this is $4 to 6K lower than what they normally sell for in the 3rd Quarter of 2025. I might be interested in doing some partial trades for Mini Uzi, Uzi, Stemple, small Mac in .380 or something of interest? If you need any detail pics of this gun, just PM me your Cell Phone number and what you would like to see. Or make an appointment and shoot her here on the Farm! Item is marked Sold and/or Sold Pending Funds. Edited March 5 by lonniejt SOLD Pending Funds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRMCII Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 In the years between the enactment of the NFA'34 and the end of the 1968 Amnesty, IRS applied their ID as a prefix to an existing serial number or a prefix to their own chosen serial number if one was not evident on the receiver. This was done to register domestic MGs that were unregistered which were brought to them for registration. MGs with IRS serial numbers can be MGs that were privately owned and registered as well as MGs registered by licensed manufacturers such as Numrich Arms who made a lot of IRS stamped MGs that were added to the registry prior to and during the Amnesty. With the serial of this M3 there is an A suffix which is unusual so my belief is that the whole serial umber was created by the IRS. An FOIA would reveal the form, date and ID of maker or registrant on original registration paperwork. However, the rule of thumb is that an IRS serial number registration predates the end of the '68 Amnesty so is C+R eligible by that standard.
