MEMORANDUM TO: All Special Agents in Charge
FROM: Assistant Director Field Operations
SUBJECT: Bump Stock Type Device Abandonment Process
As a result of the recent rule in the Federal Register classifying bump-stock-type devices as machineguns, these devices now fall within the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and are subject to the Gun Control Act restriction identified in 18 U.S.C. § 922(o). Individuals who possess bump-stock-type devices are encouraged to either destroy the devices themselves or abandon them to their local ATF office, prior to the effective date of the rule (90 days from date of publication in the Federal Register). Because these bump-stock-type devices were not lawfully possessed or registered prior to the effective date of the "post-1986" machinegun statute, the devices cannot be possessed or registered.
Options for destroying the devices include melting, crushing, or shredding in a manner that renders the device incapable of ready restoration. Other destruction options that ATF has historically accepted include torch cutting or sawing the device in a manner that removes at least 1/4 inch of material for each cut and completely severs design features critical to the functionality of the device as a bump-stock-type device. (See attached PowerPoint on destruction procedures provided by the Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division.)
If an individual chooses to turn in a bump-stock-type device to ATF, special agents must follow these procedures:
