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?

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

He can write you in his will and the item transfers to you tax-free on a n ATF Form 5 after his death. You do not need a dealer's involvement at all.

9.5.3 Distribution of estate firearms. A decedent's registered NFA firearms may be conveyed taxexempt
to lawful heirs. These distributions are not treated as voluntary "transfers" under the NFA.
Rather, they are considered to be involuntary "transfers by operation of law." Under this concept, ATF
will honor State court decisions relative to the ownership and right to possess NFA firearms. So, when
State courts authorize the distribution of estate firearms to decedents' lawful heirs, ATF will approve the
distribution and registration to the heirs if the transactions are otherwise lawful. A lawful heir is anyone
named in the decedent's will or, in the absence of a will, anyone entitled to inherit under the laws of the
State in which the decedent last resided.

9.5.3.1 Distributions to heirs. Although these distributions are not treated as "transfers" for
purposes of the NFA, Form 5 must be filed by an executor or administrator to register a firearm
to a lawful heir and the form must be approved by ATF prior to distribution to the heir. The
form should be filed as soon as possible. However, ATF will allow a reasonable time to arrange
for the transfer. This generally should be done before probate is closed. When a firearm is being
transferred to an individual heir, his or her fingerprints on FBI Forms FD-258 must accompany
the transfer application. The application will be denied if the heir's receipt or possession of the
firearm would violate Federal, State, or local law. The law enforcement certification on the form
need not be completed. The form should also be accompanied by documentation showing the
executor's or administrator's authority to distribute the firearm as well as the heir's entitlement
to the firearm. Distributions to heirs should not be made until Forms 5 are approved. Executors
and administrators are not required to have estate firearms registered to them prior to distribution
to lawful heirs.
He wants to keep the Ingram in the family, and to me only because I collect firearms and no one else in the family does. I should have been more clear on that. He wants to transfer the gun now. He wants a small price for the gun. He still could have a couple of years to live.
If he wants to transfer it to you now go to the link I posted, it has the info. But basically fill out a Form 4 and pay the $200 transfer tax. To fill out a Form 4 you will either need a LEO sign off, Fingerprint cards and passport photos OR a trust OR an LLC.
Since you are IN the same state you DONT need to go though a dealer. Dealers are ONLY needed for OUT of state transfers.
