We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
So, per the most recent decision by ATFEIEIO you need to register it as an AOW and pay the $5 for a tax stamp. The timing of paying the tax stamp is important, because if you manufacture an AOW without having paid the tax ATFEIEIO will become very upset and make life unpleasant for you.
Remember, this response only addresses federal law. You need to check your state & local laws to see if you are allowed to posses an AOW and, if so, what permission slips you need to obtain in addition to the federal one.
