And technically you can do the fingerprints yourself. However, you must use the appropriate ink and having a second person helping you will make it a lot easier. A lot of local gun shops are getting into the business of doing fingerprints and passport photos, specifically for NFA paperwork...
I've sent one snail-mail two weeks ago, and one email.
BTW, this is another reason to own a machinegun.
"Yup officer, that was my legal machinegun... go call it in, I don't give a sh!t"
That's of course if someone just called it in based on sound... pew pew pew pew pew
If you're really worried about that language here's a simple trick.
If you plan on purchasing an auto sear in the future, make sure to buy it married to a host gun, and get the ATF to change the language on the Form 4 from "Machinegun Auto Sear" to just "Machinegun." I've seen this done before...
First off, I would like to honestly <not sarcasm> like to thank MSI for stepping in and convincing the legislators to include the line “"RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR" DOES NOT INCLUDE A SEMIAUTOMATIC REPLACEMENT TRIGGER THAT IMPROVES THE PERFORMANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY OVER THE STOCK TRIGGER." As...
One problem, the majority of the firearms that MSP initially considered "banned" were overturned by major FFL's in Maryland, not individuals. Specifically Engage and Duffy's, to name a couple. If an individual is going to interact with MSP directly concerning firearms legality matters, then they...
I know this might not be completely applicable to this conversation, but I wrote a script to parse out the COMAR website into PDF format. MSP had one section as a draft copy in PDF format, but I didn't trust that copy. This way I can have it on my phone easier. I also have more specific law...
It's tough to say for sure, and MSP will never chime in on something this close unless someone pushes them (please don't do that). They'll just reference the earlier AG letter, stating that if the parts are "similar" or interchangeable, then it's a copy.
With that being said, most here would...
There was an official advisory from MSP about the matter. When it comes to the PS Article they're treating SBR's as handguns, therefore they cannot be cross referenced with the list of assault long guns. Put an HBAR on there if you like, but it's not necessary.
You only have to accompany your trust document once every two years, but only after you get your first stamp back with the new rules in place. It's kind of a "whatever" clause. The NFA branch was probably running out of storage space with all the trust documentation :)
