Class 3 question

Wanting info before I possible call BATFE in the morning.

Seller sent me pics of the tax stamp on the gun. No ID number on the tax stamp as I have seen before BUT the SN of the gun wrote in ink across the area where the number goes.

Also on the paperwork there is an area for the Tax Stamp number to be hand written in. Their copy says " $200 ".

Anyone seen this before?

    I understand the process for getting a class 3 ffl. My question is what is this "law enforcement demo letter" that people auctioning weapons on gunbroker.com are asking for? If you are a class 3 dealer, do you need this "demo letter" to buy the class 3 weapons? What does this "demo letter" allow you to do?

    A friend of mine recently inherited a number of weapons, one of which was a nice M2 Cabine. No poblems, and sadly the gun went to the local PD. Would there have been any way to legally keep it? My thoughts were if you change the trigger group with semi-auto one it would be semi only, but still marked as a M2. I know the receiver is the "gun" part of a gun, but??? Probably just wishful thinking. Thanks!

    I have a buddy (no, for real, not me) that has a registered sear for an HK, that is currently in a MP5. It is on the ATF paperwork that it is ok for 9mm,.45, .233. and .308.
    the question is 2 part.
    Is the MP5 legal if he takes the sear out and uses it in another weapon ,after all it is a SBR without the sear? and
    A regular semi-auto HK91 is not set up to accept the sear and the full auto lower. So is it legal to convert a HK91 to accept a sear, full auto lower, and change the bolt carrier, if you have the registered sear to make it full auto, and is this gun legal without the sear in it?
    I guess the short question is "Is it legal to have 2 HK weapons that are able to accept a registered sear and fire full auto, but only have 1 registered sear?"

    Thank you

    I have an ailing cousin who has no kids, and his wife passed away 10 months ago. He has an Ingram Cobray that he bought new in the early 80's and has the paperwork and the stamp with it. He wants to pass the gun to me if possible. We both live in the same state of Georgia. Can someone tell me how this transfer needs to happen?

    Is it legal to buy new manufactured full-automatic weapons, and what are the regulations surrounding the topic.

    I know there are some regs surrounding May 1986 for full-auto, but I don't know the specifics.

    Yes, I have seen the serial number written on the stamp.

    How about any other numbers on the stamp besides the serial number? The space on the form says $200 instead of the ID number usually associated with the stamp.
