Full Auto SKS???

[Taurus 617 CCW]

I would blue form him with the ATF and stay clear.

I think you you turn him in. I would not normally say this ,but here is my logic. He is a fool or a liar or both, leaning toward both. He posted on craigslist. people informed about guns don't shop for them on CL. people looking for deals do. So he is putting some poor person at risk that may not be very knowledgeable about firearms or their laws. you have gone out of your way to infom him/her of this and yet he/she does not care. the last line is why i say turn the bastard in! just my op

I'm gonna have to agree on turning him in. Best case it is a fishing expedition and you will just get hassled just for having communicated with him. Worst case he sells it to some unsuspecting new gun owner trying to get something before osama takes office because some guy at work has him scared to get it now or never. The new gun owner just trying to get by and pay the bills wants to protect his family has no clue he has done wrong till the door gets kicked in and he has uninvited guests in the living room. That is the reason I would call the feds on him, for the family man, not the idiot that doesn't care that it is illegal to convert something.

We as responsible gun owners need to weed out the idiots from time to time. They do nothing to help our image, they flagrantly break the law, and they do things that are just dangerous and pass them off to unsuspecting people. Wether he converted it or it is malfunctioning is irrelevant, he knows now it is in violation and he doesn't care. He wants to pass it on and knows it is illegal to do so and doesn't care. How much more wrong can this be??? Make the call and be done with it.

I think that the drug war is immoral and wrong. But that doesn't mean that drug dealers are not evil people. Drugs are illegal. Drug dealers are not your friends. Unregistered machine guns are illegal. Illegal arms dealers are NOT your friends. They are evil people as well. Just because they shouldn't be illegal doesn't mean that the people that sell them are patriots. The people that want to sell you illegal machine guns are dangerous criminals and nothing more.

FWIW, I'll toss my hat into the "tell ATF" ring too. There's a big philosophical difference between doing something naughty for your own enjoyment, and doing something naughty and then trying to pawn the responsibility and possible repercussions off on someone else. I'd much rather see this idiot go to jail than whatever poor joe unsuspectingly buys it off him.

Turn him in, we'll leave the light on for him.

Naaa......don't tattle tail. Just move on and don't bother with him. It does sound like bull**** though. Their are NO post 1986 class C's. Legal that is. If he's destined to get it from the ATF then that's his problem. He might get some unsuspecting stupe in trouble too, but that is still not you businesses. If your not a cop than don't do their job.

Still why an SKS, their junk. It only has ten rounds and is slow to reload. Now a lightning link in an AR15 or modding a Cobray pistol is something I can understand. Huh....some people.

Hey, I think I got it. If the full auto thing is not bull**** than I bet it's a malfunction. His safety sear must have broke. The guy started bragging that he did it on purpose instead of getting it fixed, though I dough he could ever duplicate the result in another gun. If this is the case than the resulting full auto is strictly a malfunction and thus is dangerous. The thing about it being legal is total bull**** and he's to damn dumb to know how much trouble he could get in if ATF does come after him, witch they may or may not depending on the branch that works that aria. That's evident by the fact that he's announcing it to the whole net. Either way just avoid the guy and let the real Law Enforcement Professionals deal with it. It's their job not yours.

There is no firearm class "c".

 

[LIQUID SNAKE]

Title III then. I used to have all that title I, II, and III stuff memorized. I've let most of that knowledge pass away since it occurred to me that I'd never be able to get one. The price alone is a turn off. Even if I had the money, I still wouldn't spend 20 or $30,000 for a used gun. Full auto or not. If I had that kind of money I would spend it on something responsible Like a down payment on a new home or, a new truck.

Warning Pure Opinion Ahead

If the guy told you he had a license (weather or not he does) you’re under no obligation to investigate his claim. When the guy gets busted if your name comes up you should have plausible deniability, “Hey officer he told me he was legal I told him I wasn’t interested. Any other questions feel free to ask my lawyer.”

If it was me I’d drop it and walk away I don’t work for the BATFE let them do their own job.

That said, all of the above is strictly my uneducated opinion if you’re really concerned you need to ask a lawyer

Unfortunately, ignorance of the law is not a valid defense.

Probably a scam. Also illegal.
