What are the rarest NFA rifles in the country?

You can transfer Transferables & Pre Samples to yourself when you close up shop. Post Samples have to be transfered or destroyed.

Ok, I won't be dealing with post-86 stuff, so that's a plus. Anything in the shop when I close up could be mine; this is a requirement if I go for it! I certainly don't want to be destroying anything I've made or worked hard to get.

i'd say mp40's and mg-42's Argentine Maxim are rare i have seen few of them at knob creek thats a killer gunshow

Any idea of the dollar cutoff for business?

There isn't one. As I said before, buy some inventory, place ads, go to gun shows, etc. Not that difficult.

Rarest:

I'd say the Beretta 93R (supposedly 2 in country) and original (not conversions) HK MP5s.

Beretta 92R

I believe you mean the Beretta 93R.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Yep, typo.

Anything in the shop when I close up could be mine; this is a requirement if I go for it!

Which is why the prices of Pre-86 dealer samples are rising at an alarming rate. Soon there will be virtually no price difference between transferrables and pre-86 samples.

But I thought that when the ATF finds out that you got a SOT3 just to play with full autos and not for business, you get your license revoked?

Oh no, you'll actually have to sell some of your stuff too. So just become a reseller for AAC or Gemtech and pile up the machine guns on the side. If you decide to stop being an SOT3, you keep all the pre86 samples.

If you purchase more than a couple of suppressor each year, the SOT/FFL fees pay themselves (transfers are all on a form 3 instead of a form 4). If you sell stuff as well, you make money too.

The only downside to being a dealer is that you actually need a storefront and people running the store. But the store can be really small, so you could probably make it a one man shop that only does one work shift a day, keeps the bound books and so on. I wonder if you could entirely run an FFL based on transfer fees and class 3 sales. Just charge a low flat rate and use the shop as a pickup spot for mail order.
