Can an FFL Dealer use the ATF eForm 4 to transfer an NFA Firearm to themself?

Yes, as an FFL holder you can use the ATF eForm 4 to transfer an NFA firearm in their inventory to themself as an individual, gun trust or other legal entity.  This is only possible though, if the inventory that is being transferred is in the FFL's ATF eForm inventory that is shown in the table on Screen 7 - Line Item page.  If the firearm that is being transferred is not on this list, then a paper ATF Form 4 will need to be completed.
