Originally I'm from Oshkosh, WI; most recently from Green Bay. Been living up here for 3 years now.
That name doesn't ring a bell. First time I've heard of it.
The 07/02 is a type 07 FFL for a firearm manufacturer and the 02 is the SOT (special occupational tax) to make NFA weapons. Currently I'm a type 06 FFL, ammunition manufacturer, but am expanding my business to include firearm manufacturing.
With the status of an 07/02, I can make Title I (handguns, longguns) and Title II (machine guns, AOWs, suppressors [no short barrel weapons in MI]) and deal in both types of weapons. It is the most freedom one can have in the firearms industry. I can make and deal in all types of firearms except Destructive Devices/armor piercing ammo.
I just got word that my 07 FFL application got to the ATF field office in Grand Rapids. They are mailing out an info packet today and next week will be my compliance interview (standard procedure) then in a week to week and a half I'll have my FFL in hand and can begin manufacturing and dealing in firearms. This is also a prerequisite to paying the SOT for a NFA firearm manufacturer, which the tax year starts July 1st, so as of July 1st I can manufacture and deal in NFA.
My transfer fee for Title I firearms is $20 and my transfer fee to MI residents for NFA weapons (machine guns, AOWs) is only $25. The main thing I will be making for civilians is affordable shotgun type AOWs (short barrel, pistol grip) in both 12ga and 20ga. Depending on how much my dealer price is, I hope to keep the retail price of an AOW under $275 including the $5 transfer tax.
