Here are some of the myths that I hear all the time in Maryland:
"Silencers are totally banned"
"You forfeit all Constitutional rights if you buy any Class 3 item"
"The government wiretaps your phones if you own Class 3" (not making this up)

Don't think so. If it's on a F4, I think you have to take it back on a Form 4 for $200 tax plus whatever your transfer fee. Then you can get it on a Form 3 to yourself, then to the receiving dealer. Then F4 to buyer, another $200 tax + transfer fee on his end.
I'm not a dealer so don't know for sure.
I don't think that is the case. Never does a C3 dealer pay the tax stamp. So I don't think this would be any different. Just have to figure out which form it is. C3 dealers buy NFA items from individuals all the time. I don't imagine they would do it if they had to pay a $200 dollar tax stamp every time.
It also might be something as simple as logging it in my book and sending some type of addendium to the ATF.
Will have to call the ATF and get some further info as there just isn't much out there in regards to this type of thing.

Whenever I break out my suppressor at a public range, I always get people looking at it strangely and asking these kinds of questions. Most of them come down to "Aren't those things illegal?" or "Why does anyone need one of these?"
I answer the first one with a gentle "No, they're perfectly legal, you just have to have them registered with the federal government and submit to a rather intensive background check."
I answer the second one with "Suppressors are great for plinking out in the desert without scaring people, as well as for teaching new shooters, since they eliminate the muzzle blast and noise. Makes the gun a lot less intimidating to newbs. Plus, it's just damn cool *delivered with a grin*"
"they're fun," is the only answer you should ever give anyone asking why anyone needs/wants an NFA item. they expect you to get all tinfoil on them, and telling them it's for fun generally totally deflates any arguments they had prepared.
From what I've researched in NFA law there is no way for a FFL/SOT to receive an NFA item for purposes of transfer to another without paying the $200. The only way would be a Form 5 if it were 'Willed' to you in the event of the death of the owner of NFA item.
Form 3s are only for FFL/SOTs to other FFL/SOTs (free transfers), Form 5s can be used for receiving for repair, modification etc.
Example of John Doe brings you a suppressor to sell on consignment. He/she or you'll have to pay the transfer of it to you for a Form 4. Once you have a Form 4 in your Co name could you sell it and then transfer it on a Form 4 to another or free to another FFL/SOT on a Form 3. You could also give/sell it to a LE agency tax-free on a Form 10.
