Is layaway even possible with NFA items? Meaning, can a person start paying on an item while paperwork is processing being as you technically have to own the item to submit the paperwork?
Not sure. Seems like you don't "own" it until all funds are paid. Maybe a question for Lax, NWS, JDGreen on here. I would say layaway could work as long as you did all you paperwork first. Just seems like the seller would be in a bind if the stamp(s) came through and the buyer couldn't pay the rest. I doubt anyone would do it for NFA items. Then again, I don't know about this area enough to be certain.
