That's pretty much it for me--I prefer private party sales in general, but I just am not willing to spend the money for the NFA weapons I want, or the $200 tax stamps that go along with them. They already have my prints from my SDA license and DCM/CMP paperwork, and my signature is on a few 4473s rotting in a warehouse somewhere, so there's not much point in being paranoid...

^^^ This...

My immediate wants are a suppressor and a SBR. I would also want to do them via a trust. For what this costs before I spend a dime on the goodies I can buy a nice handgun. Everytime I say I'm ready to do it I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger.

Well, i have a C&R FFL. Apparently a trust cannot have an FFL so therefore no class III goodies for me. And OPur sheriff refuses to sign a form 4.

LOL, smart man ... we're like a couple of you other guys (especially GC -- he's been fingerprinted more than some of the bad guys ;) ) Problem is, after you get that first one ... well ... it's a disease ... :disappointed: (And don't tell GC, but I think I have it worse than he does ... :shocked:)

The paperwork is really no big deal and the $200 tax is what some folks spend going to a concert or a Thunder game, so that isn't a big deal either. The wait sucks, but if you just forget about it, one day you are pleasantly surprised and can take your new toy home.

The way I look at it is "the man" doesn't want you to have these NFA items and if you don't get any, they win. I would rather have my toys and enjoy them while I can. That way I win.

YMMV

I agree. The cost of the tax stamp back in 1934 was $200. It was supposed to tax them out of existence. Just think what the stamp would cost now if it would have increased with inflation.

I tend to live vicariously through those that have "signed their life" away on NFA items. I like to read the stories and see the pictures, etc. but I won't play the NFA game. I find the laws surrounding these items to be completely ridiculous and refuse to take part. Now, if I could go back in time before the prices went totally off into the stratosphere I might think differently.

Having not shot or owned either, is an SBR that much better than the AR pistol?

SBR's are very practical and easy to handle. When a can is added, it makes the overall length about the same as a standard 16" AR with weight beight the only drawback. I've owned a 7.5" AR pistol and sold it pretty quickly. It would have been great for a few applications but not easy/stable to shoot and 7.5 was just too short for a .556. I've spent $200 (stamp)on worse things!
