NEBO Flashlight

Or you can make any NFA weapon, except for machine guns (see below), by filing a Form 1, “Application to Make and Register a Firearm”, and paying the $200 making tax, which applies to all of these weapons, including AOW’s. You may not make the proposed weapon until the Form 1 is returned to you approved. The law enforcement certification, photos and fingerprints also apply to Form 1′s, and in fact to any transfer to an individual. Additionally the manufacturer of any NFA weapon, including an individual making one on a Form 1 must mark the receiver of the weapon with the maker’s name and city and state. NFA Branch can grant exemptions from this for DD’s. All types of corporations, including corporate type 01 FFL holders, need not do the certification, photo and fingerprint requirements. Any of the forms listed, and the fingerprint cards, are available for free from ATF, either in Washington, D.C. or your local office.

In early 1994, ATF decided (in ATF Rulings 94-1 and 94-2) that three 12 gauge shotgun models, the USAS 12, Striker 12, and Street Sweeper, were destructive devices, owing to their non-sporting character, and having a bore over 1/2 inch, as all 12 gauge shotguns do. ATF required owners of these guns to register them, as NFA weapons. This is not exactly an amnesty, as the weapons were not NFA weapons when made. While ATF has not required the payment of the $200 making/transfer tax to register them, they had required the registrant obtain the law enforcement certification on the registration paperwork (Form 1). According to the 7/95 Machine Gun News, NFA Branch has now dropped the requirement for the law enforcement certification on the initial Form 1 registration, subsequent transfers will be by regular NFA procedures. ATF began notifying owners of the guns on 2/1/94 of the classification decision, and gave them 30 days to register the weapon or dispose of it, after notice. Supposedly ATF calculated the 30 days from when the last owner (they could locate) of a weapon was notified. If you purchased the weapon privately, and there was no “forward trace” paper trail, then you may not have known when the 30 days began to run. However according to Machine Gun News, as of 7/95 ATF is still accepting registration applications. It would be wise to contact them before assuming they will not let you register such a gun, and either throwing it away, or just keeping it without complying with the registration procedures.


Before the NFA was changed in 1968, as part of the Gun Control Act of 1968, one could register unregistered existing weapons, however it meant you were admitting to possessing an unregistered weapon. In fact the law required it, which was a reason the US Supreme Court used in gutting the registration scheme of the pre-68 NFA in Haynes v. US, 390 U.S. 85 (1968). (It violated the 5th amendment right against compelling self-incrimination.) However if there was no criminal intent to the possession (which tended to be demonstrated by attempting to register the weapon) then the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Treasury Dept. would accept the application to transfer the weapon, or to register it. ATT generally sent an investigator to check out what was going on, and if deemed appropriate, to help the applicant fill out the Form 1. The Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division of the IRS (created out of the ’68 GCA, it became the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on July 1, 1972) continued this practice until 1971, with the transferor instead of the transferee admitting to possessing an unregistered weapon, when applying to transfer it.

Aimpoint t1

Micro T-1 – No matter what your mission, the size and weight of your equipment is a critical factor. With the Micro T-1, Aimpoint has introduced an aiming system that provides the performance of our full-sized sights in the smallest package possible. Built to offer the same battle proven ruggedness as other Aimpoint products, the Micro T-1 is able to perform under extreme conditions while adding negligible weight to your weapon. Suitable for use on Rifles, Carbines, Shotguns, Submachineguns and Handguns, the Aimpoint Micro T-1 is ideal as a stand-alone sight, and can also be “piggybacked” on top of larger magnifying scopes, night vision, or thermal imaging optics. The Micro T-1 can also be used by hunters and sport shooters that need night vision comptability. The performance of the Micro T-1 is optimized for use with all generations of night vision devices (NVDs), but is especially suited for 3rd generation night vision technology. Aimpoint’s unique band-pass coating on the reflective lens reflects select frequencies of red light at near 100% efficiency in order to give the highest possible dot brightness, while transmitting nearly 100% of light in the Infrared and near-infrared part of the spectrum to provide the clearest, brightest image possible when used with a 3rd generation NVD. With 4 NVD-compatible brightness settings and 8 daylight settings including one extra-bright setting, the Micro T-1 is ready for use around the clock.

A Note about NFA Weapons and California
As a general rule the definitions of NFA weapons, as regulated in California, track exactly the federal definitions, and categories.


eotech or Aimpoint which is better

Citadel99 June 6, 2004, 08:58 AM So, I’m wanting to get an optic for my M4gery. I also plan on strapping it to my M4 when I head off to Iraq this fall. So ruggedness, battery life, and all those little things that go hand in hand with having a weapon on your person 24/7/365 come in to play. I’m pretty much set on one of these two options. I’ve used an Aimpoint and really it. Never had the chance to use the EOTech, though… Thanks in advance, Mark dave3006 June 6, 2004, 09:23 AM I bought the EOtech and returned it. I own the Aimpoint Comp ML2. The EOtech was too big. It was like having a big screen TV mounted to my gun. The controls were slow and not intuitive. I did not like the busy circle/dot reticle. Batteries are really not an issue. You can leave the Aimpoint on for a year. greenmountaingear June 6, 2004, 09:59 AM EO TECH hands down. I dumped my Aimpoint shortly after buying a 552 EOtech . Liked the EO some much that I became a dist/dealer for them! Wouldn’t use anything else now. Rev.F 552′s have about 1000+hrs on a couple “AA”‘s. Never had any issues with any model I’ve owned and could acquire my targets far faster than with the aimpoint. Comes down to what works for you though :) Ever board has at least 6 of these threads, 120pages long…EO vs. Aimpoint. LOL! If ya ever need an EO or info, drop me a line! GMG Hutch June 6, 2004, 10:27 AM Well, glad you two guys cleared that up for me!!! Somebody else wade in and break the tie. N3rday June 6, 2004, 12:39 PM http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=164971 This topic has known to start flame wars…its all just personal preference. You might buy an EOtech, fall in love with it, and then finally use an Aimpoint and discover you like it better. To each his own. Just see if you can find some folks who would let you shoot theirs. MaceWindu June 6, 2004, 02:47 PM I like the Eotech….cheap and easily replaced batteries, great HUD, VERY accurate. Here is the EOtech 552 on top of my Custom mini…. http://img62.photobucket.com/albums/v188/Triggerman/ASIside001.bmp http://img62.photobucket.com/albums/v188/Triggerman/ASItarget001.bmp That is a dime for reference @ 80yrds. There are 3 separate groups there….EoTech gets my vote…. MaceWindu Blackhawk 6 June 6, 2004, 07:46 PM The EOtech is a good sight but of the two, has significantly more reliability issues. The Aimpoint is an excellent sight and holds up well under the rigors of military use. My recommendation is to go with the M-68. 444 June 6, 2004, 09:35 PM This question often inspires more than a few emotional responses. I prefer the Aimpoint. I have never owned an Eotech, but one of my best friends has one, so I am pretty familiar with it. I have shot his enough to know that I like mine better. More than one person in the know agrees with me. For example: Pat Rogers considers the Aimpoint to be clearly superior. warrior23 June 6, 2004, 10:29 PM Lets just say you cant go wrong with either site.Both are great sites my EOtech I feel is a little quicker in CQB,My Aimpoint works better for me at longer distances.So do what I did and buy Both! Rocko June 7, 2004, 12:03 PM I have both the EOtech 511 and the Aimpoint Comp M. While I like both, I feel that the EOtech is basically more advanced – at least from a user perspective if not a technical perspective. While the EOtech is a bigger, this also allows for a greater FOV – I don’t really even notice the housing of the EOtech as I do the tube on the aimpoint. From a total cost perspective on a flattop AR, the EOtech is also almost always going to win, as you don’t need to purchase a separate mount for it. The battery life issue was addressed in revision F, but I believe these are in short supply right now, which probably won’t change anytime soon. EOtech was just awarded a large contract for the SOPMOD2 project (along with Eclan and Trijicon) so most new production will likely be focused on that. Interestingly, Aimpoint, was NOT awarded part of that contract – reinforcing my idea that while both are good, the EOtech is the “new” while Aimpoint the “old”. Rocko
