Just how does one go about getting a class III for collecting a full auto weapon, whats is the tax, I was told it was $200.00. is that per year or at time of purchase?

Must be legal in your state/city.
Application to the BATF, local sheriff has to signing off on it.
Fingerprints, photo, background check.
Pay $200, one time tax.
Pay 10-20 times what a gun is worth.
Pay for LOTS of ammo.
Go to www.subguns.com for more info. That is THE place for info about C3.

It is a tax.
An actual $200.00 tax stamp (looks like a postage stamp) is attached to the paperwork when returned to the owner, that is if the transfer was approved.
Considering that it was 1934, this outrageous fee was set in order to limit the number of Class III holders. Surprisingly, this amount hasn't gone up since it's inception.
If you're thinking of collecting, look into setting up a corporation and having these firearms become it's property. The regs are different.
My mistake totally, I KNOW it isn't a tax......it is a LICENSE!
DOH!!!!!!!!!!!
