For customers looking to purchase pre-1986 fully-automatic firearms, Lemcoe Precision can facilitate the Form 4 transfer and potential NFA trust creation process. When purchasing machine guns, the process is almost identical to purchasing a silencer, SBR, SBS, or AOW, but comes with added complications due to the legal status of transferable machine guns.

Fully-automatic firearms (machine guns) manufactured before May 19, 1986 with tax stamp paid can be transferred to non-Licensees after the filing of an ATF Form 4 and $200 tax stamp payment to the government. Fully-automatic firearms manufactured after May 19, 1986 may not be transferred to non-Licensees and are illegal to own..

Purchasing pre-1986 machine guns is usually quite expensive, but working with Lemcoe Precision to facilitate the transfer can prevent headaches and potential legal issues related to illegal possession of a machine gun. If not all steps are followed properly, you can possibly be charged with a federal crime, so it is imperative that you work with an expert to facilitate the transfer.
