Does C&R MG transfer need Form 4 approval?
 

Saw this C&R MG on gunbroker.com. The seller states "This gun can also transfer direct to your C and R license in any state." and caused my curiosity.

My understanding is that Form 4 approval being a must for MG transferring. C&R MG is NOT exempted from From 4, is it ??

Asking because there is a trap on Form 4 requiring CLEO approval before BATF considering it (section 17). Form 4:

That is correct. A form 4 MUST be approved. The only advantage to the C&R here is that the gun does not have to go through an C3/SOT and you would not have to pay an additional Transfer Tax from the C3/SOT to you.
