Had that discussion with both of them, and more than a few years ago I looked into it a little myself. By the time you bought the gun itself and incurred all the related expenses, there wasn't much of an option for less than $10,000 all in, and the stuff I really wanted was looking more like $25,000+.


Thats the thing, the only other expense is the $200 tax stamp.

You can setup a trust/LLC, but dont have to. Those costs are minor as well.

Its literally the cost of the gun, most of them are expensive because there are a limited number of transferrable machine guns. Unless laws are changed, what is out there is it, the inventory is what it is.

So its literally the cost of the gun+$200.

This sounds cheap, seems like 20 years ago it was much higher?

Did the cost go down that much?

OR

Is the gun limited at the $200 dollar level?

Seems the Baw I knew had to pay hefty for his .50 cal machine gun from the Korea era back in the mid 80's and big part was the tax stamp.
