I’ve been in the firearms industry for over forty years now and can help expedite obtaining your SOT Status under your FFL (commonly referred to as an “FFL.â€)
I’ve had both the Curios & Relics License as well as the standard “gun dealer†FFL – I’ve also operated for a number of years as a manufacturer and have been involved with NFA items since the early 1970s.
Why pay $10 to $25 or more for a “kit†when the information and all the forms are FREE, right from the horse’s mouth so to speak.
This booklet and guide briefly covers Federal Firearms Application (dealer, etc.) which you must have before you can apply for SOT (Special Occupational Taxpayer) status – granting of the SOT will then allow you to deal in NFA items which can include silencers/suppressors, machineguns and sub-machineguns, etc.
This guide book will SIMPLIFY the federal application process – piece of cake! The ATF must respond to your application within 60 days so it won’t take long for you to find out if you’re “in business.â€
The BATF agents are usually very helpful and can help walk you through any sticking points such as hours of operation, secure storage, and the like. So don’t be concerned if you’re unsure about an item or two – you can always pick up the phone and give them a call for any item that appears unclear though I believe you will find the application process to be quite straight-forward.
