    Smile How important is having a clean title on m416's?

    Hey guys,

    I found what looks to be a good deal on an old m416....could be a really fun project!

    However, there is no title...is this a big concern or should I just calm the hell down and dive in?

    Thanks in advance!

    Dude - if CO is ANYTHING like NJ, run like the f%&#$@ wind. I had a title and I almost went postal on those morons
    who run the NJDMV. Reseach the process CAREFULLY before you buy. My 2 cents your MMV...............................

    Register it in Maine Very lax on trailer work.
    Pa is like pulling teeth too! Check craigslist for a junk trailer with title and use it.

    Tell them its a homemade trailer and doesn't have a title, they will issue you a VIN & title.
    You might need to go get it weighed first and take the slip from the scale with you.

    CA was no sweat. Trailer was never registered & no vin. Went to the DMV with only a bill of sale. Told them it's a utility trailer, left in a 1/2 an hour with a vin tag and plates.

    Agree with Mark. Maine tags.
    I got my five year tag and registration for 86.00
    You can always change the registered state if you want.

    I just recently went through the process of registering and titling an M416 in Colorado. It wasn't a big deal at all as long as you can get a bill of sale from the seller. If you need a form, you can get one from the DMV. You will also have to have a VIN inspection by the State Patrol as part of the process.

    Mark is right! Forgot that you can register in Maine w/o living there. Definitely look into this option if CO makes it difficult

    Utah doesn't care a bit about titles on single axle trailers, anything tandem or more requires a plate but the will issue a VIN. I would check with your local DMV and verify your local regulations.

    Yeah, who cares about that silly little law about falsifying a government document.
