Does Question 13. "Transferee Necessity Statement" on the ATF Form 4 Need to Be Filled Out for a Silencer?
When you are applying for a tax stamp using the ATF Form 4 paperwork, the ATF Form 4 paperwork states the following pertaining to Question 13: Transferee Necessity Statement:
-
Transferee Necessity Statement. Item 13 must be completed by the transferee if:
-
(1) the firearm to be transferred is a machine gun, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or destructive device;
-
(2) the transferor is licensed under the GCA to deal in such device or fire arm; and
-
(3) the transferee is not licensed under the GCA to deal in such device or firearm.
-
What does this mean for an individual, a gun trust or a legal entity that is applying for a silencer that isn't listed and named in 5.1? The ATF doesn't require box 13 to be filled out if you are applying for a tax stamp for a ATF Form 4 silencer. If you are applying for a tax stamp for a ATF Form 4 silencer you still can answer this question, but isn't required by the ATF. The most common answered if answered are "All Lawful Purposes" or "Investment and All Lawful Purposes".
