SHORT BARRELED SHOTGUNS
This is a step by step process for any Connecticut Resident who is looking to purchase their first machine gun.
1.) BEFORE YOU START THE PROCESS TO ACQUIRE A TAX STAMP TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL AND ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
2.) LET US HELP YOU PICK OUT THE CORRECT SHOTGUN. A TAX STAMP IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR AN SBS WHICH WILL HAVE A BARREL LENGTH LESS THAN 18IN, A OVERALL LENGTH LESS THAN 26IN, OR BOTH
3.) ONCE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED AND YOU HAVE PICKED OUT A SBS GO TO YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE THEM FINGER PRINT you.
4.) GET A 2X2 SELF PORTRAIT TAKEN (PASSPORT PHOTO), WHICH CAN BE DONE THROUGH RITE-AID, WALGREENS, OR CVS. (CHEST UP RECOMMENDED)
5.) MAKE ONE CHECK PAYABLE IN THE AMOUNT OF $200.00 TO THE BATF (BEAURA OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND FIREARMS) OR BRING A CREDIT/DEBIT CARD WITH YOU.
6.) BRING EVERYTHING TO SPORTSMEN’S OUTPOST INCLUDING THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF YOUR TOWNS CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SO WE CAN SUBMIT YOUR FORM 4 TO THE BATF.
WHILE YOU WAIT
Once you have completed all the requirements for your Form 4, we will submit the required documents to the BATF and they will return a tax stamp to us within 6-8 months. This tax stamp will be assigned to the serialized SBS you picked out with us before the eight-month wait.
