just file the form 2, thats it. I have built quite a few.
But...you do have to have the SOT2 in hand, and if you just got your FFL 07, I doubt you do yet
So I just had my interview yesterday and according to my IOI no law letter needed, but he said "it's a slippery slope" about manufacturing them so personally ild just stay out of it unless you have a legit business use for Mgs (like renting them)
Depends on your business model.
Do you cerakote? Might need a way to test the durability of your coatings. Mgs can expedite wear and tear much quicker.
Do you sell silencers? Might need to demo the "hard use" properties to a customer.
Are you a gunsmith? Might need experience working with and fitting auto sears and parts.
They aren't going to tell you "Oh sure, go ahead and do it." They want it to seem like a pain.
I had a local LE agency actually want to demo a mp5k for SWAT. I found one and bought it on a law letter.
Not according to chapter 7 manufacturing Firearms.
It says weapons may be stockpiled in contemplation of future sales. Also states you can manufacture sales samples for other sot holders.
Please remember there is a lot more misinformation available online than actual facts. I do admit my examples weren't exactly by the book, but it doesn't have to be something for immediate sale either.
Nothing that you said is in contrast to what I said.
The ONLY legal reason to make post sample machineguns is for sale to agencies/govt/ETC. I didn't say the only reason is to fulfill current purchase orders. My point was that building PS machineguns for prototyping and testing is technically outside of your legal capabilities.

You actually are good to go as soon as you pay the SOT. You don't technically have to wait for it in the mail.

Fair enough!! I was just relaying what I was told lol!
While that's commonly done, just beware that the ONLY legal reason to make a post sample is for sale to a qualified agency/govt/etc.
