Class III question

edited April 2004 in Ask the Experts
A fellow came in today with a legal dewat ($5. tax stamp?).

He is keeping it, but the question came up as to rewatting it. I didn't know and none of my pubs spelled out whether it can be done.

My question/s;

1. Can it be rewatted?

2. Anyone or Class II only to do the work?

3. What forms and what tax to be paid if any?

Monday ATF will be in the office, but I am curious about it now.

Thanks

    I have a class III question...

    Most people ask about making a semi into a full... I am asking about the opposite. I am trying to save a beatiful gun from the abrasive cutoff saw.

    If a particular C3 can only be owned by Law enforcement (post 86), Some SOT Class III dealers will demill the gun if there is no law enforcement marketplace so they can sell the non reciver parts to the civilian market.

    For some receivers that are easy to convert to a true semi auto config is there any legal way to legally convert a Class III post 86 gun to a semi auto gun... in terms of the law...

    For the gun in question a tig welder and a small peice of steel and about an hour of time would convert the gun in question to be identicle to it semi auto brother... and the gun would meet ATF spec so long as the other non reciver parts were modifeid or replaced with semi parts...

    Is there some sort of once a machine gun always a machine gun rule? If the gun were an import would it be harder for ay reason?

    I thought that full auto parts require paperwork with or without a receiver [?]

    You might want to check with the BATF, but I think what you are considering would be illegal.

    Hope this helps.

    Cliff,
    Thanks, but today (Monday) I got in touch with ATF since no one here knew. With a few restrictions, it's legal.
