OK, so I want to buy a can...

[Arcamm]

What kind of fees are charged for buying a can? Say an in stock can from a local shop.

I know there's the can cost and sales tax, as well as the $200 stamp, but what else?

Purchased through a trust.

 

[Sundazes]

Thats it, if you have the trust done. If you did individual, there would be the cost of fingerprints. Also, you will do a 4473 when you pick it up, but I have never been charged the NICS fee.
If you buy an out of stock item, there can be a long wait for a transfer to the dealer. If you buy online, the receiving dealer will charge a hefty transfer fee since they have to store if for 9 months until the ATF blesses you.

 

[clandestine]

You have it covered.

You have done a good thing by getting a Trust, NOW don't make the mistake by being impatient. DONT buy a can just because a shop has one dangling in front of you. DO RESEARCH and get a QUALITY can that will be the most versatile that your budget can afford.

It's easier to buy a can with a trust than it is to buy a .22 rifle, IMO. 2 copies of form 4, 2 copies of trust, $200 check to ATF. Pay the nice man behind the counter.......wait.

 

[BigCity]

and wait...and wait some more. My last can took 9 months although, since I just bought one from Engage last week, was told that it may come quicker this time since they hired 12 more people. I do have a trust.

Or go see Vince at Duffy's. One copy of your trust (he makes additional copies), no copies of Form 4 (he handles that), and the check for $200 to BATFE.

Oh, and cash, check, or CC to pay for the can.

And wait, and wait, and wait, and wait..........

Yes, the manufacturer has to transfer it to the dealer via Form 3. That can take several months. And the dealer cannot initiate the Form 4, until the can is in their possession.

So buying out of stock means at additional 2+ months wait.

BTW, I have heard that Form 4 have been coming back in 5 - 7 months, versus the 9+ months of a short while ago.

Not quite to the 21 days for an eForms Form 1 lately.

Hmmm. That's where I got my last one. Had everything ready. It was so easy, I gave Vince a kiss, then a big noogie and danced out of there.....

 

[BigCity]

A scene I am not sure I would want to see....

I would have paid good money to see that

 

[Arcamm]

I tend to resist kissing men with side arms.

I danced out of there fast....

Time to come by and see me. No fees other than the tax stamp.

maybe he will have forgotten if you wait the whole 9 months before you go back

Like that wasn't already in the plans! As soon as the ink dries...

Just wear a wig, he'll never recognize you.

 

[TheDevilHimself]

I'll wear a disguise.

But there's no disguising your love...

 

[clandestine]

This confirms that he is cheating on both of us.

Hahahaha!

Sounds like doc has some explaining to do. And all along, I thought I was his one and only...
