    I have a buddy who is a MD FFL and runs his business out of his house, he also has his class 3 license but has not dealt with any class 3 items yet. I was under the impression the dealers had to use form 3's to transfer items between themselves and manufacturers, He stated once he sends his class 3 license to a manufacturer then he can order class 3 items just like normal handguns, no form 3 or extra atf paperwork or wait time.

    Is this correct?

    As everybody else said, he is incorrect.

    He can order Title II / Class 3 stuff from manufacturers, but he is required to get each item transferred to him on a Form 3 from wherever it's coming from (be it a manufacturer, distributer, or another SOT). A Form 3 is tax-free, so there's no extra fee for it, but having his SOT does not exempt him from doing them.
