Tax stamps, SBR's, and silencers (Oh my!)

[MarineOne]

Seeing all the silencers and SBR's on here has made me drool, and I figure its about time I do something about it. Needless to say, I want my own! Since I live in Idaho I know it will be easier for me to purchase what I want, but I know its still a headache with all the paperwork.

I recently bought an AR-57 upper, and now they're selling AR-57 upper SBRs and silencers and I want one of those, too. I've even though about getting the FA bolt for it and buy the Form 4 parts to upgrade my lower.

I have to admit I've only bought semi-auto weapons and I know my background is clean (I work for Uncle Sam and have a clearance) but I have no clue on what needs to be done so that I can legally own this stuff.

Can anyone, preferrably other Idahoans cuz I know you're out there, give me some insight on what I need to do to make this a reality?



Thanks.

Idaho is about as easy as it gets. The only regulation is federal.

Full-auto will require a DIAS (drop in auto sear) or registered receiver (since you can't make a new MG), expect to pay $10k+ for that one item/piece alone.

SBR is easy; if you're the maker, Form 1, jump through the hoops and wait.

Silencers and factory SBR/SBS/AOW (bought through a dealer who can handle such things) is a Form 4 and they can walk you through it.

I've done both homebrews on F1s and items through my dealer; both are as easy in the scheme of things but you just have to be patient.

Yeah I looked on Idaho's gov site for the laws and it only says "fulfill all federal requirements", which I thought was a little vague. I searched a little more and all I need is the Form 4.

Since my wife has power of attorney for me I guess all I need to do now the next time I go home is fingerprints ...... LOL!


Thanks for the help.
