I bought Elite Tactical Systems, Inc., a small suppressor manufacturing company, located in Franklin, TN, back in June.
The FFL expired 01 JUN 06, so I had to apply for a new license before I could really start doing anything. Of course, the SOT (Special Occupancy Tax) expired within two weeks of the FFL expiring. For those who aren't familiar with the laws regarding FFL's, the SOT is essentially the fee for being able to manufacture suppressors, machineguns, and other NFA / Title II / aka "Class 3" stuff.
The application process was kind of a PITA, taking from June until October. But, it's done, and I can now buy and sell firearms IAW the National Firearms Act. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, it's time to start sending out copies of the license and getting the ball rolling. I expect to have the SOT paid for within the next two weeks. Once that's done, I'll be building suppressors, short-barrelled rifles (AR's), short-barrelled shotguns, and AOW's. I'll also be doing "Class 3" transfers for a very reasonable fee ($100 each, compared to the local competition's lowest price of $125). I'm also an authorized dealer for Surefire, Tactical Tailor, Doublestar / J&T Distributing, and Yankee Hill (YHM).
So, if anyone on here is an FFL and would like a copy of my license, please IM with your contact info, and I'll get a copy to you. Also, for anyone in the Middle TN area who needs any NFA stuff, drop me a line, and we'll make it happen.
Needless to say, I'm a pretty happy guy today.
