I have my LTC-E (automatic weapons). Does this allow me to build a M-4? Is it even possible to get NFA lowers and BCG's and other NFA compliant parts?
How does one get that license and not know the answer to that question?

I appologize, I didnt think the question was out of the realm. With the license I can possess, shoot, own, fondle, and carress a machine gun...I simply did not know if I could assemble one like most people do with AR's. After all some one can build a SBR if the proper avenues are followed. Shame on me for asking a question that I thought was reasonable...I thought that was what this forum was about

What I really meant, and didn't express well, was that, in my limited experience with associates who have received or attempted to obtain a "green card" in MA, it was incredibly complicated and or time consuming.
If you can find a striped receiver that was previously registered as a machine gun, you can build it up.
Do you actually have to manufacture something if you want to get the 07 FFL? Do you have to have a location separate from your home?
Remember, if you get a Federal license, you agree to get into bed with them. Jack.
It's really not. Assuming you have a Class A, just get a C&R, then apply for a Class E using the same application that you would for a LTC/FID.
Now, actually buying a machine gun takes a while and requires additional paperwork.
Yes, the term green card was from the days of the paper license. Machine gun licenses were printed on green stock
The last thing I want to do is wake up with an ATF agent next to me drooling on the pillow.
In all seriousness I think a lot of guys would try going the 07 route if they thought they could try enhancing their own collection that way. Like you mentioned before though the ATF doesn't exactly want to hand them out so folks can do that. We would probably have as many 07's as C+R holders around here if that was the case.
Getting the 07 FFL is not difficult if you are in compliance with all the terms and conditions. Getting the tax stamp just means writing the check for $500 each year. The problem is with the tax. You will be able to acquire NFA items without paying the transfer tax. If you pay for the tax stamp for say, 15 years, and have a few items in inventory, that is very different from getting the tax stamp for one year and bringing in 10 items. Tax evasion is what you need to avoid. Jack.
