7342. Penalty for refusal to permit entry or examination. Any owner of any building or place, or person having the agency or superintendence of the same, who refuses to admit any officer or employee of the Treasury Department acting under the authority of section 7606 (relating to entry of premises for examination of taxable articles) or refuses to permit him to examine such article or articles, shall, for every such refusal, forfeit $500.
Tax exemptions
Law enforcement, states, and local governments are totally exempt from the making and transfer (either to or from) taxes, but must comply with the registration requirements. While the NFA only specifically provides that there is no transfer tax due when the US government is the transferee, (26 USC sec. 5852(a)), or a state governmental entity (26 USC sec. 5853(a)), ATF has made up an exemption from the transfer tax where any US or state governmental entity is the transferor, see ATF Chief Counsel Opinion numbers 20023 and 20400. Abuse of that exemption, as in transferring guns through governmental entities so as to avoid transfer taxes, has been prosecuted. See U.S. v. Fleming, 19 F.3d 1325 (10th Cir. 1994).

AmeriGlo Night Sights are fast becoming the industry standard in a business where no substitute for quality exists. They are an ideal and creative solution for the military, sportsmen, law enforcement and government. Knowing that available systems were inadequate and that 66% of all shootings involving police occur at night and in low light conditions, I.W.I, the manufacturers of AmeriGlo set out to develop a new generation of high performance night sights. Designed and tested in conjunction with representatives of law enforcement and federal agencies who depend on precision products, AmeriGlo night sights increase night fire accuracy by as much as 86%, as evaluated by members of the Los Angeles Police Department. Providing clear and accurate target acquisition in normal and low light conditions, AmeriGlo night sights utilize the traditional 3-dot system aiming system, which requires no transition from day to night use. AmeriGlo sights are easy to install, replacing factory sights and are made to factory-quality stature for precise and quick aiming. AmeriGlo night sights fit a wide array of handguns and are available in a variety of configurations. They not only provide excellent target acquisition, but provide easy line-up of dots for accurate shooting in the standard iron sights. According to research and development testing in night fire shooting courses, AmeriGlo night sights improved accuracy by as much as five times.
A sole proprietor SOT may keep any NFA weapon he has after surrendering his SOT, as his personal property, except post-86 machine guns, discussed below. If ATF thinks, based on the number of weapons retained and the timing, that your SOT status was used to evade the transfer taxes, they may demand tax on all or some of the guns, although you will be entitled to a credit against that for your annual $500 or $1000 SOT tax. Conceivably you could also be prosecuted for tax evasion.

Penalties for NFA violations
A violation of the NFA can result in a felony conviction, punishable by up to ten years in prison, and/or a $250,000 fine. See 26 USC sec. 5871. The US Sentencing Guidelines ordinarily require prison time, even for a first offense, however various mitigating and aggravating factors can raise or lower the possible sentence range for a first offense.
Taxpayer privacy
The transfer paperwork is nominally a tax return; the purpose of the registration, and the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (Registry) is keeping track of who owes the tax. ATF takes the position that taxpayer privacy laws apply to a transfer form, and that they may not discuss a pending transfer with anyone but the taxpayer, who is the transferor (seller), as he is responsible for the tax by law. This also serves to allow ATF to refuse to discuss why a transfer is taking so long with the party who is most interested in that question, the transferee (buyer). However, in another context (releasing information under the Freedom of Information Act) ATF has decided that as to a Form 4, the tax form is a joint return between the transferor and transferee, (see 1980 Auto Ordnance Corp. memo) so in that case the transferee should be entitled to the information about the application on the same basis as the transferor. That is not the usual practice, however. The NFA also prohibits the use of Registry information obtained from natural persons (only) for any law enforcement purpose except prosecutions for making a false statement on a transfer form (26 USC sec. 5848). Other tax laws prohibit the release of transfer information, as a tax return, except for certain narrow law enforcement type circumstances. See 26 USC sec. 6103.

ATF has created interim rules to implement PL 103-322, and they are a little more specific, and a little more onerous:
–
In early 1994, ATF decided (in ATF Rulings 94-1 and 94-2) that three 12 gauge shotgun models, the USAS 12, Striker 12, and Street Sweeper, were destructive devices, owing to their non-sporting character, and having a bore over 1/2 inch, as all 12 gauge shotguns do. ATF required owners of these guns to register them, as NFA weapons. This is not exactly an amnesty, as the weapons were not NFA weapons when made. While ATF has not required the payment of the $200 making/transfer tax to register them, they had required the registrant obtain the law enforcement certification on the registration paperwork (Form 1). According to the 7/95 Machine Gun News, NFA Branch has now dropped the requirement for the law enforcement certification on the initial Form 1 registration, subsequent transfers will be by regular NFA procedures. ATF began notifying owners of the guns on 2/1/94 of the classification decision, and gave them 30 days to register the weapon or dispose of it, after notice. Supposedly ATF calculated the 30 days from when the last owner (they could locate) of a weapon was notified. If you purchased the weapon privately, and there was no “forward trace” paper trail, then you may not have known when the 30 days began to run. However according to Machine Gun News, as of 7/95 ATF is still accepting registration applications. It would be wise to contact them before assuming they will not let you register such a gun, and either throwing it away, or just keeping it without complying with the registration procedures.
There is also a revolver definition, but it does not add anything except a provision for guns with revolving cylinders, rather than permanent chambers.

Some examples of conversion parts; a SWD Auto Connector (for AR rifles), an AR-15 Accessories drop-in auto sear, an HK sear, as made by Fleming Firearms, J.A. Ciener, and S&H Arms, among others, a AUG sear as made by F.J. Vollmer and Qualified Manufacturing, an FN-FNC sear, as made by S&H, an M-2 conversion kit for the M-1 carbine, registered by many class 2′s, a slotted UZI machine gun bolt, made by Group Industries, and many others, or a Ruger 10/22 trigger pack, as made by John Norell. There are also sears to convert Glock and Beretta 92 pistols into machine guns, but I believe all of them are post-86 manufacture, and thus unavailable to civilians.
