Possessing Class 3 without stamp?

[BDBHoover]

Okay so I'm completely unfamiliar with anything class 3 related.....

If I have a friend who has a class 3 item (suppressor) and I want to buy it.....

Would it be unlawful for him to sell it to me without me having a tax stamp on the item?

Is possession of a class 3 item (suppressor) without a tax stamp illegal?

Any advice/insight/info would be greatly appreciated

He can sell it to you, but you are not allowed to take possession of it until you have your stamp in hand. That means you give him money and he holds it for four months for you. If HE has no stamp for his own ownership of it, RUN FAR AWAY.

Say I was to go that route..... What would keep him from selling the item to someone else after I had given him the money for it?

Granted for something of this nature I would absolutely have to have a sales receipt of some kind....

The paperwork you would file would have the items serial number on it, it would be the ultimate proof of sale... so to speak, lol.

Our friends at the ATF would have some serious questions for your friend if they saw two Form 4's from two different people for the same serial number hit their desk.

Plus friends don't take deposits and then sell to someone else

Ty for the info gentlemen.... As you can tell I'm very much in the dark when it comes to class 3 items

If he's a friend, I would hope that wouldn't even be a question...

But I assume this is a hypothetical situation, if you have ANY doubt in a situation buying something like this, purchase it elsewhere. There are plenty of suppressors out there for sale, spending the extra money to buy from a business for the security, might be worth keeping your butt out of the slammer.

Get a bill of sale along with sending in the Form 4. Note once you get the suppressor, you can't loan it out to friends and family with out you being there.

Unless of course you file it under a trust and have those "Friends/Family" names put on that trust.
