Purchasing multiple tacticals - Problems?

[tdosha]

My brother is looking to purchase either M&P 15-22's or the Mossberg Tactical .22 for his kids as Christmas gifts. He is also planning on being a good uncle and getting my daughter one also. My question is... Will he have any problems purchasing 6 guns at the same time? I know there may be a problem with availability but I'm wondering if he is going to show up on the ATF radar?

I've never heard of anything ever being refered to as a "tactical".

if he is buying all long guns he will not show on anyone's radar.

if he is purchasing 2 or more handguns from the same ffl within 7 days, extra paperwork is filled out by ffl and forwarded to the appropriate people.

Thanks. I keep telling him if he had fewer kids he wouldn't have to worry about this stuff. He has 2 sets of twins and his wife has 3 kids!

Buy one a month or every two weeks if he's that worried.

My guess is that he can get a good deal if he orders all 6 guns at the same time and pays cash.

Just don't buy 6,000 rounds online. Apparently that is not acceptable.

Talk to the dealer ahead of time and discuss his issues/worries. The dealer might get them in and let him buy them spread out. Who knows until you talk with them.

I'd venture away from the Moss, I've just not heard 1 positive from anyone about them. A guy at the range said he just got his back AGAIN after being worked on.

+1 on this. I impulse bought one last year. Feels like the cheap plastic gun it is. Not to mention it is a royal PITA to disassemble and clean properly.

The M&P 15/22 is a MUCH better choice IMHO.

I didn't know that.


Buy all the guns. Who care if you're "on the radar" as long as you are lawfully using them.

They will definitely be legally used. I just hate drawing undue attention.
