I found this in an old thread. I was wondering if people could tell me some of the rumors they heard and if they were true about last minute registrations after Hughes passed, what the time frame was, and what they had to do to get it done in time. I've heard the machine gun registry nearly doubled overnight after passage.
Also, just before the law passed there were rumors of Class II manufacturers serial-numbering 1.5" pipe and registering them as civilian legal Sten Guns, as well-as Class III dealers registering military and police stock as civilian transferable
I'm quite interested in stories like these, like Military Armament Corp (MAC) registering all those sheets for MAC's and the mad rush to register them.
