Is it legal to make a simi auto ak-47 or ar-15 in to full auto???

 

[Davek1977]

NO, absolutely not, unless you like spending your days and nights in a federal institution with a guy named Bubba as your roommate

 

[gunnerjones]

Why not??? Is it any difrent that buying a full auto gun

 

[2RCO]

No no no........

 

[Birdmang]

Don't feed him.

 

[NELSONs02]

Ah jesus never mind....... interesting people on here late at night lol

Gunner--You do realize you can't just walk in and buy a Full Auto gun at any old gun store. You have to find a dealer that specializes in Class 3 weapons. See what they have that is transferrable to you --there is a very limited number of weapons that were registered before the books were closed in 1986. These guns are very expensive from 4k for the cheapest POS to 6-7k for a decent gun to 20k or more for something like a Thompson. You also have to fill out paperwork go through a special background check and pay for a $200 tax stamp. Several states do not allow civvie ownership of these guns as well.

PLEASE for the love of all that is good don't try and convert a gun!!! The BATFE will lock you up and you'll meet new friends in a Federal Penitentiary.

One of my friends made a ak-47 full auto and his wife left him and called the cops on him. all they did was take it away. i swear it was not me!!! i have never been married

 

[General Geoff]

He can consider himself lucky then.

 

[Rockwell1]

I think this says it all

 

[Birdmang]

Not that I want an explanation of something HIGHLY illegal, a one word answer will fit best but is it really that easy to convert?

 

[General Geoff]

For a person with working knowledge of machinery and basic machining tools, yes.

Safely converting a semi automatic firearm to full automatic, on the other hand, can be simple or complicated, depending on the design.

 

[gunnerjones]

so... if you put a m16a1 full auto upper on a DPMS under you cant convert it to full auto

 

[2RCO]

Gunner your friend could have very likely been jailed for a long time instead. He should probably by a lottery ticket because the odds of this scenario playing out are really slim. If this did happen I am guessing it's 1 a small town cop and 2 your friend knows the cop pretty well. The Police took a big risk themselves if this really took place.

I think I may smell a Troll here.....

 

[gunnerjones]

does anyone know were to find a m16a1 full auto under for sale

 

[2RCO]

Gunner---Do you really want to go to Jail because if you attempt this you'll end up there??? The answer is NO! NOT LEGALLY! NO!

 

[Birdmang]

Someone should close this.

 

[General Geoff]

does anyone know were to find a m16a1 full auto under for sale

If you mean lower receiver, sure, there are some around for sale. Usually run many thousands of dollars though, for registered NFA receivers.

 

[Rockwell1]

Please don't feed the trolls

 

[2RCO]

There may be a class 3 dealer with one for around 9-10k if you look, it's legal in your state and you pay the tax stamp etc..

What State do you live in???

 

[gunnerjones]

i thought you said if you had a back grownd check and bought it from a lisced dealer you could buy one

 

[General Geoff]

i thought you said if you had a back grownd check and bought it from a lisced dealer you could buy one

As long as it's a registered NFA item and you pay for (and receive) the tax stamp, sure.

 

[gunnerjones]

im sorry i bet i sound like the most stupid persoin alive

 

[Jeff White]

It is not legal to convert a semi auto to a full auto since no new machine guns can be added to the registry and since we don't discuss how to break the law here this thread is closed.
