Well, first of all, I can't even begin to think about affording anything full auto at the moment, but I was just curious as I thought you had to have a class 3 FFL to "own" full auto. I guess I never really looked into it. From what you are saying though, it sounds like a similar process for getting a short barrel shotgun or suppressor. Just pay the tax stamp and do the paperwork and wait.Originally Posted by Joe_Black
Unless your state is expressly anti-gun you can purchase any transferable full-auto weapon with a one-time $200 transfer tax, basically any machinegun manufactured prior to May 1986 which includes about 18 M134 miniguns.I'm not currently a dealer but have been looking into getting my FFL for LEO/Military so I can get post-86 dealer samples, but now will have to wait until after school and "funding" is available.
All you need to do is trot yourself down to your local Class 3 dealer, pick something out, pay for it and wait for the paperwork to go through. Takes anywhere from 4 - 6 weeks and then you'll be burning brass at an alarming rate. Here's something interesting I learned through full-auto: If you buy ammo in quantities over a quarter-ton you can get a great bulk shipping discount from UPS!
If I ever have a spare $5000 bucks to blow on a gun it's going to be a SVD.
