Any legal full auto AK-47's?

[Frog48]

Where might someone find a legally registered/transferable full-auto AK-47?

Are there very many of them?

Every now and then I see registered/transferable full auto M16's and AR15's on gunbroker.com, but I havent seen an AK.

There are two on www.subguns.com - look in the classified NFA ads and put in ak-47 for a search item. One is $14,500 and the other is $16,500.

Check out www.sturmgewehr.com and subguns.com. There's a transferable for 14.3 k on sturm right now. It's a decent deal.

 

[Frog48]

Thanks guys. Those prices are similar to M16's and AR15's.

I'm mainly curious. I dont see myself spending that much on a rifle anytime soon.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

Oh come on! You don't want to spend $14,500 on a $400 gun? stupid NFA.

 

[Frog48]

No kidding. The NFA is ridiculous. I could tolerate the tax stamp and registration it if it wasnt for the pre-'86 closure of the registry. I'd still hate the NFA, but at least it would bring prices to a more reasonable level.

A side note... a friend of mine was deployed to Iraq last year. He's an E-6 (Staff Sergeant) Cav Scout in the TX Army National Guard. We were in class the other day, and he was showing me some pics on his laptop that he had taken with his digital camera while he was deployed. He had bought an AK-47 from a local for $100. He said it was fun to blast away out in the middle of the desert, just for kicks. I'll have to get him to transfer some of the pics, they were really cool. One pic was of him and a buddy on riding on donkeys, pretty funny.

Its a shame that he couldnt bring the AK back with him. He said when they were about to rotate back stateside, he sold the AK to another US soldier that was rotating in.

$16,000 for an Ak!!!! I think I read somewhere that we(US taxpayers) paid less than $100 a piece for the AKs we armed the Iraqi military and police with.

That wouldnt surprise me. All the ex-Soviet countries have warehouses upon warehouses full of them... a saturated market means lower prices.

$400 for the AK, $15,600 for the legality.

I heard that in Eastern Europe (from a Pole) after the Commies fell, an AK + "a bucket of" ammo was about $250 on the black market.

$200 for x-fer tax, registration. The rest is supply and demand.

"The rest is supply and demand."

... with the demand side artificially broken by the meddling hand of big nanny gov't.

I did get to use a fully automatic ak47 once before. the 1980s were screwed up gunlaws in this country.

He had bought an AK-47 from a local for $100.

The price has gone up in Iraq, they went for $50.00 in 2004.

 

[Glockman17366]

I'd never pay that much for an AK style rifle, but I do kick my butt for not picking up a Vector Arms UZI when they were $3500. As soon as they sold the last one for the thirty five hundred, the prices doubled

 

[TheDisturbed1]

I swear I just spent 35 minutes browsing the NFA firearms on subguns.com
I've never seen so many MAC's and Thompsons in my life

I myself am a bit blurry on the whole class III deal... of course it has to be shipped to a class III FFL and all that. but on the buyer's part, what all type of paperwork, and mumbo-jumbo would have to filed?

Two Form 4's with passport photos and CLEO signatures.
One Certification of Compliance form.
Two fingerprint cards.
