I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that you have to notify MSP within 24 hours of a change in address for Class III. When I moved, I called them and they said just put a letter in the mail to the Firearms Registration Division indicating the new address and then update it on the next registration.
You can do a change of address with BATFE but I think its only needed if you moving it out of state and Md. Will see it on your yearly registration. Its been awhile for me. I would say call someone at the agencies that are involved for updated info.
For ATF:
Fill out a 5320.20 and indicate your new address.
In Box 2. Firearms to be returned to original location. Check NO
In Box 3. Dates firearms to be away......... Just indicate the dates in transit.
In box 5. Reason for transport of Firearm (Example: Permanent change of address) Indicate that you are moving and this is your new address.
The rest of the form is pretty straight forward.
For MSP:
I would just indicate your new address when you do your annual registration form this Spring.
I'm seeing that you have to register it with MSP within 24 hours of first receiving it... but I'm not able to find anything about moving.
I'll give them a call tomorrow since they're not around today.

That's "machine guns" only though, right? MD doesn't keep a specific database of other NFA stuff, right?

Last sentence under the NFA section says yes

Does this apply to MG's only or do I have to do this for a SBR/suppressor?
I am moving (not out of the county) and can't get a clear answer.
Thanks.

Cliff Notes:
Report your change of address, even for an intrastate move, on a Form 5320.20.
The Form 5320.20 is required for interstate movement of a machine gun, SBR, or SBS, but not for a suppressor or AOW. Might be a good idea to do one for all items just to keep your registry info updated.
Correct. I never do a 5320.20 for temporary transport of a suppressor as it is not required. However, some people do as an extra layer of coverage. If I was making a permanent move, then I would probably submit a 5320.20.
So, if I go frequently go back & forth to a shooting range just over the state line (from WV to VA) with my suppressor, I don't need to submit a 5320.20. Right?
