NFA weapons are sometimes called Class 3 weapons because a Class 3 SOT (Special Occupational Taxpayer) is needed to buy and sell these kinds of firearms. A specially licensed FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer is the only business that you can work with to get these kinds of weapons. 

The following weapons are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA):

1. A shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
2. A weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
3. A rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;
4. A weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;
5. Any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e);
6. A machinegun;
7. Any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and
8. A destructive device.

The tax is $200 for the transfer of any firearm except a firearm classified as an “any other weapon” which is $5.

An unserviceable firearm may be transferred as a curio or ornament without payment of the transfer tax.

Yes. The approved application received from ATF serves as evidence of registration of the NFA firearm. This document must be made available upon request of any ATF officer. It is suggested that a photocopy of the approved application be carried by the possessor when the weapon is being transported.
