Buying a Machine Gun with a C&R License
This guide details the process for acquiring a C&R eligible machine gun using a Curios & Relics (C&R) license. It explains how a C&R license can bypass the need for an SOT dealer for direct interstate transfers, provided state laws permit. The process involves ATF Form 4 submission, fingerprinting, photographs, and a $200 tax, with current wait times of 6-9 months. It also contrasts this with the procedure for non-C&R machine guns, which require transfer through a local FFL/SOT dealer.
