There are guns marked M2 but converted by military before sell off to M1 semi auto out there, that were sold off by CMP back in the 60s, and its been a bit of a weird situation as there has not been much pressure to call them MGs as such. I'd be curious if owners of such could offer a strange explanation similar to these recent post 68 Dealeer samples were registered MGs made before 68 and lawfully acquired could their be an argument these are pre 86 transferable if applied for. |

I apologize, but I’ve read and re-read that and I can’t figure out what you’re trying to say. |

Recently the BATF ruled that certain machineguns imported post-68 as "dealers samples" say for example sold directly to police could be considered "transferable" My point was that if the BATF is allowing fixing errors of the past and permitting re-registrations or retroactive corrections - Hypothetically speaking what about others had acquired M2s (particularly the M2s sold off by CMP as semi-autos ro civilians) - but not registered them as an MG even though they may indeed by an MG. You know once a machine-gun always a machine-gun?? Let's say a M2 "marked" and manufactured as an "M2 carbine" was sold off as semi-auto M1 carbines from CMP to individual or to police (this evidently has happened) but living by the once a machine-gun always a machine-gun mantra would the BATF permit someone who lawfully bought an M2 marked carbine from CMP and wanted to register it now (it was once a machine-gun) could someone essentially say I bought this and as it was technically it was a(and always is) a machine-gun - can I register it as a machine-gun? Could a group of carbine owners that have these marked M2 carbines petition the BATF (similarly to how a group did for the Post 86 imports) to retroactively register tham as M2s? |

Good luck with that. |
