In case you missed it, here is the long awaited guidance on certain NFA items from the ATF.

https://www.atf.gov/fi***rms/update-to-nfa-transfer-guidance

In the simplest terms, as long as your state does not impose additional restrictions on NFA items, SBS (short barreled sh****ns), SBR (Short Barreled Ri**es), AOW (Any Other Weapon) and Suppressor creation, purchase and transfers no longer have to go through the ATF NFA Registration process. All that is required is a standard 4473.

Please note there ARE limitations here, such as transporting a SBS or SBR across state lines still requires a Form 20. It also still requires the FFL to have a SOT (Special Occupational Tax).

Yes, Call To Arms Gun Works has a SOT along with our 07 FFL.

While it is not mentioned here, the elimination of the NFA restrictions also implies the elimination of a Form 5 for bringing in your NFA item for maintenance or repair.

The NFA registration process remains a voluntary step for those who wish to do so or are required to have a NFA (zero dollar) Tax Stamp to comply with state laws.

Important note: All of this may be reversed by a subsequent administration, so please be sure to read the entire notice, FAQ's and consult a qualified fi***rms attorney in your state is you have questions.

For us, we are going to embrace the hell out of this!!

Almost there!

We are still doing transfers but holding off on repairs for the moment.

Meanwhile, our annual contribution to the Greenbush Old Home Day Pancake Breakfast & Jr. Hunter’s Breakfast. The Old Home breakfast is the kickoff to the rest of the Old Home Day events including the parade and town picnic at the Scott Smart farm.
Good people, good food, good family fun. All of which deserves the very best maple syrup.

What’s the best Maine maple syrup? After several Maine Maple Weekends sampling the maple producers in the area, we believe the best of the best comes from C***r Hill Maple Farm in Exeter, ME. A beautiful place, great facility and the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. We’re partial to the dark.

Not to worry, we'll be back.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m excited about the new G***k Gen 6. Especially after feeling let down by the replacement “V” series.

But do I need another G***k?

There will be a slight delay in offering full services again. Why? Because this adorable, sweet, furry faced one decided to try her hand at dark arts of physical therapy. Let's just say her technique was not approved by the APTA. A follow up with the surgeon and actual PT folks indicates no permanent injuries and only a few months of additional recovery time.

Disappointing? Yes. But how could you be upset at a face like this?

However, her Employee of the Month standing is now being challenged by her sister who claims she had absolutely NOTHING to do with the unauthorized treatment plan.

Starting to spend a little time in the shop taking care of very light, administrative type work while I navigate the (wicked and) therapeutic world of physical therapy.

Also needed to put out the Vote NO on 2 sign. A shout out to Keep Maine Safe to thank them for the sign and the hard work they are doing to defeat this misguided push.

Please take a minute to go to Keep Maine Safe and help spread the word.

Greetings All,

Effective immediately, we will temporarily not be accepting new repair, engraving and Cerakote work. This is to allow me to undergo a non-elective structural repair procedure.

We WILL still be conducting transfers and sales on a slightly more limited schedule.

The exact timing of return to full service will be determined by the wicked (good?) practitioners of the dark corporeal arts known by the name of “physical therapists”, but we can most likely expect a phased in approach.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.
