BATF has clauses, which disallow SOTs, (special occupational tax) holders from obtaining licenses merely to enhance personal collections. There must be proof of actual business taking place. Many of these occasional SOTs like to shift guns around in order to pad their transfer book. Some have also managed Class 2 status in order to manufacture their own guns from parts kits. The caveats are that you can only keep Pre-May, 1986 Dealer Samples if you drop your SOT and/or FFL. Since this practice is now well known, Pre May Dealer Samples have risen in value accordingly. Class 2 Manufacturers may not keep any of the things they build, should they drop their license, as anything they made are Post May Dealer Samples by definition and must be transferred out upon surrendering of the license.
