Since you seem to be versed on this, is it a functioning artillery piece? Like could you actually fire something out of it and would you need to make your own shells or can they be bought?
Yes functional artillery, legally a destructive device which is a catch-all category and it depends on the ammunition, many people use training ammunition which doesn’t have explosive because a artillery shell with a certain amount of explosive requires it’s own tax stamp per round. Legally it’s not a license but a document proving you paid the transfer tax following a background investigation. There are some odd rules for specific type of items. This is the sort of thing you should talk to a lawyer/ organization that specializes in the process. You can also get machinegun, silencer,short barrel rifles/shotguns legally through the same process.
$200 & a clean record is all you need to transfer an artillery piece.
Well you know, and the money to buy the piece, the means to move it, a place to keep it.
Don’t you also need a $200 tax per shell?
I think if they’re explosive, each shell would be another destructive device. I believe you can get solid metal training rounds tho.
iirc, a lot of artillery is towed artillery and can be moved with a
standard(edit: pintle) trailer hitch.I’d expect most if not all would be pintle, but you can totally get a pintle to fit a normal receiver.
Yes, that’s why I said transfer.

Hell for $200 and a weekend you could probably make a home cooked artillery piece
You’re going to be on a list soon
