A sear that does require alteration to the host gun’s receiver is not a conversion part, and is not able to be registered as such. Some slipped by NFA Branch, in particular AK-47-Accessories.html”>AK-47 “sears” that required a hole be drilled in the gun’s receiver, like a regular receiver conversion of the semi-auto AK. Such “sears” in the hands of innocent buyers were left on the Registry, with the requirement that they were not to be removed from the host gun, in effect converting them into receiver conversions in the eyes of BATF. However any in the possession of the persons who made and registered them were disallowed, and removed from the Registry. See Vollmer v. Higgins, 23 F.3d 448 (D.C.Cir. 1994) for mention of the AK sears. Also see FFL Newsletter, Summer Issue 1988, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, page 2, Washington, D.C.

A Class 2 SOT can make, tax free, machine guns, silencers, short rifles, short shotguns or AOWs. A class 2 can also have weapons transferred to him tax free, by other SOT’s. He also has to have a type 07 or type 10 FFL. He does not need to ask prior permission of ATF to make a weapon, he would notify ATF of its making within 24 hours of its making by filing Form 2 with ATF. He could also import foreign made NFA weapons, for R&D use (one of each, not a bunch of each model). To import a machine gun (only) a class 2 would need a letter from a governmental entity able to own the weapon requesting a demonstration. A weapon imported for R&D must be exported or destroyed when the R&D is completed, whereas a weapon imported for sale to a government entity would be considered pre-86 dealer samples. To import for sale to government entities you need a Class 1 SOT.

Note that the silencer definition applies only to devices for firearms, i.e. powered by an “explosive”. An air gun silencer is not covered. But if it can be used on a firearm it would be. Thus an airgun silencer permanently attached to the airgun, or too flimsy to be used on a firearm, should be exempt. If you have an interest in pursuing this line of thought submit a sample or drawings to ATF Tech. Branch. I am not aware of any airgun silencer currently made, or determined to be exempt from this definition. But clearly there is room under the definition for such a gadget. Likewise, since antique guns, as defined in the GCA are not “firearms”, a silencer for such a gun is not, or should not be, covered. Perhaps one fitted permanently to a pre-1899 gun? The mind reels.

It is helpful, in general, to quote the certification text, that is what you are asking them to certify. For a Form 4 it reads, “I certify that I am the chief law enforcement officer of the organization named below having jurisdiction in the area of residence of (name of transferee). I have no information that the transferee will use the firearm or device described on this application for other than lawful purposes. I have no information indicating that the receipt and/or possession of the firearm described in item 4 of this form would place the transferee in violation of State or local law.”

The ability to move the sear or other parts between like guns is a nice feature of the sear; you can have all your HK guns be full autos, one at a time, and only have one registered item, and one transfer tax to pay, for example. However each sear or conversion kit may require a bit of fine tuning to the host gun to make it work, this swapping feature may be overrated, depending on the design of the sear and of the host gun.

BSA Optics
The BSA name, once famous for hunting rifles and those classic old British motorcycles is now gaining the same kind of excellent reputation for high quality optics at affordable prices. BSA has two different types of scopes for two different types of shooting. Hunting and target/varmint. Their hunting scopes are as bright and tough as they can make them and their target scopes have all the convenient features and newest innovations needed to make shooting with them accurate and a pleasure. BSA has unleashed an unusual new hunting scope called the Catseye. It was created to let hunters see better in low light. You’ll feel like you have “cats eyes” when you look into dark areas or long shadows, where game suddenly appears. Another tough hunting scope from BSA is the Deer Hunter. When you compare its brightness and quality to other scopes, at the same price, it will be on your favorite rifle the next time that you go hunting. BSA Target Scopes are also highly thought of. The Platinum line with fully multi-coated optics, are exceptionally well made with very close minimal tolerances that make them very accurate, shot after shot. The all new Contender target scopes can’t be touched for advanced features, innovations and accuracy. When it comes to value, the Contender is champion. A varied selection of specialty scopes are offered, plus Spotting Scopes in different price ranges. Each one at the top of its class. We would like to go along with you the next time that you go shooting. Take a good look at us. BSA, you’ll like what you see.
