Owning or making an NFA weapon
It is illegal for anyone to have possession of an NFA weapon that is not registered to them in the NFA Registry. It is also not possible for anyone, except government entities, to register an existing NFA weapon that is not registered, except immediately after one is made by a class 2 NFA manufacturer. An individual otherwise able to own any gun under federal law can receive and own any NFA weapon (local law permitting, ATF cannot approve a transfer where federal, state or local law would be violated by the transferee possessing the weapon in question, see 26 USC sec. 5812(a)(6)) on a Form 4, “Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of Firearm”. Non-FFL holders may only purchase an NFA weapon from a dealer or individual within their own state. If the weapon is located out of state it must be transferred to a class 3 dealer within the state, before transfer to the non FFL purchaser. C&R FFL holders (type 03) may purchase C&R NFA guns from out of state dealers and individuals. Type 01 FFL holders may purchase any fully transferrable (no dealer samples, see below) NFA weapon, from an out of state source. If the FFL holder is an individual he must submit fingerprints, photograph, and the law enforcement certification.

eotech 553
I shot some pictures of the 553 on my MRP this evening. This is a really nice unit and the height is perfect without the need for a riser. I would like to have the LaRue QD, but the throw lever is a good product and it will serve fine on the 553. The mount is build very nicely inot the base so the lever is not sticking out in case it might get snagged. The reticle is Rev F clear and the addition of the CR123 batteries made the sight a lot shorter, not as short as the 551 bit it did return some much need it rail space on the top rail. The battery compartment is dummy cord, and the internals are blacked out so if you are in a very dark enviroment, your opponent will not see a faint red glow as the laser projection is bouncing off the lens edge and projecting. I have not been told on the battery life but the number of 1500 hours have been tossed around. More pictures coming in my Shotshow report…damn lot of photoshop with total of 150 pics taken at the Shot… Enjoy.
