Sons of Guns and Full Autos

Properly licensed US firearm mfgr can make new full auto.
You'll note that the new full autos RJF make are LE/Mil market units.

so besides for LE/Military, full autos can't be made.

Nope

You or I or anyone else without the proper license can't buy them, but there are plenty of what are called "post 86 dealer's samples" that NFA dealers have and show to authorized buyers.

He's correct.
Who would those "authorized buyers" include?................LE/Military.

An 07FFL/SOT can manufacture a new machine gun, but can only transfer it to another dealer or manufacturer who submits a demo letter from a law enforcement agency or the military. This is why they are called "dealer samples".

Post '86 machine guns are not transferrable except to LE/Mil and dealers who seek to sell them to LE/Mil.

Post-samples are also fairly inexpensive and easily replaced compared to transferrable full-autos. There are very few transferrables on the main line at Knob Creek each year, most of the blasters are posties.

post dealer samples are also how a lot of ranges that are also FFL holders have full auto rentals. I used to go to a range in Atlanta that had about 15 post dealer sample full autos that they rented to people to shoot at the range. I went to the range with a friend one time and shot a full auto AR 15, MP 5 and Kriss... tons of fun (Just lots of money spent on ammo)
