I was just wondering how many NFA items are on the registry. And if it is broken down in classification. SRB, SBS, MGs, Silencers, AOW, DD. Just thought it would be neet to know. Thanks |

Um, Google is your friend? www.usdoj.gov/oig/reports/ATF/e0706/back.htm Interesting note: Only 9 examiners working on NFA as of March 2007, and they processed roughly 402,151 applications in 2006. That's ~122 forms per examiner per day (7 day week). |

My guess is that of the 402k forms, a large number were Form 3s and 5s. Which would be a much faster process. I would guess its a matter of verifiying the FFL/SOT of the F3s and then sending them on. Same with the Form 5s. So doing a fast 40 in a hour wouldnt be too outlandish. The form 4s seem to be held up by the FBI getting the fingerprints checked out. In any case, 402k forms by 9 workers in a gov agency.... that would be amazing or a typo. |
What would be considered an "unknown" device or weapon? Not an AOW. |
|
Okay, maybe I am the only person that missed this report, but has anyone read DOJ's results on the next page? Click Here for Report Their findings are scary to say the least!
 An average of 1.7 violations per inspection? Are you kidding me? What do they consider a violation? Not having toilet paper in the public restroom? |

Well according to the pie chart it looks like there are 1,909,786 registered NFA items. AOW 2.5% = 47,669 SBR 1.8% = 34,322 SBS 5.0% = 95,339 Silencers 7.9% = 150,636 MGs 20.5% = 390,891 DD 62.2% = 1,186,020 Thanks for the info. Now I wonder how many of those MGs are transferable to individuals? |
destructive devices make up 62% of everything in the NFARTR!!?? i never would have guessed that. |
The number that I've heard thrown around in the past is somehwere aroune 100K .... |
|
Based on numbers I've seen from various sources, I'd guess 100,000 - 150,000 transferable MG's. But none of them are reliable sources from dot gov so it's solely a guess of mine. If we applied the same argument Gura had that 2A protects arms in "common" use today, one could argue mortars, grenades, and launchers are more protected than machine guns. Where's my semi Mk19 with HE rounds for the 600 yard range? |
From the report...
