I believe there is some sort of a time limit. I believe you can also get a refund for the stamp if in fact the NFA 'firearm' is never manufactured.

Yes you can get a refund. I have done so once. If no transfer or build takes place.

You know $200 use to be what a few weeks or months salary in 1934. Now its a few hours or days work. My bet is that we are about to see more inflation in the future as we pay off SS with cheaper and cheaper money. That $200 will be like an hours work eventually. Then we can have all the hand grenades for just the trouble of some paperwork... and what probably a 3 year wait at that point!

Average salary in 1932 - 34 was $1368. So that $200 tax stamp was 7 weeks salary.

And probably several times the price of a machine gun.

Here is the average price of firearms:

Weapons & Ammo
Pistol .22 $5
Pistol, Beretta palm-sized $30
Pistol, Colt .45 $25
Revolver, .38 $20
Revolver, .357 $22
Rifle, .22 $5
Rifle, Hunter $30
Rifle, Elephant Gun $70
Shotgun, Pump 12g $60
Scope $60
TNT, 1 stick $5
Whip, Bullwhip $2
Ammo, .22 caliber $.02
Ammo, handgun caliber $.03
Ammo, rifle $.07
Ammo, shotgun $.05

Funny, people are complaining about the price of .22LR. In 1934, a hour wage bought about 32 rounds of .22. Right now, MD minimum wage buys 72 rounds AT 10 CENTS PER ROUND.
