Videos tagged with NFA Transfers

This ATF update from Forgotten Weapons details a significant recategorization of approximately 4,000 pre-May dealer sample machine guns, making them fully transferable. The National Firearms Act (NFA) and the Firearm Owners' Protection Act (FOPA) were instrumental in this change, which allows many previously restricted HK models to become transferable. Additionally, NFA transfer processing times have drastically improved, with eForm submissions now taking as little as one week, a substantial reduction from previous nine-month waits. However, multi-person trust forms still require manual review and may experience longer delays.

This video from Forgotten Weapons, featuring Ian McCollum, details the ATF's introduction of the eForm 4 system with electronic fingerprint submission in December 2021. The new system aims to significantly reduce the lengthy processing times associated with NFA item transfers, moving from months to a target of 30-90 days. It streamlines the submission process by allowing digital uploads of fingerprints via EFT files and eliminating the need for physical mail.
