Not a Glock owner, I've no clue how their internals work.
How is it that just a back plate makes all the difference? Does it fix the striker forward, making it basically into an open bolt setup or what? |

He'll, I've seen a YouTube short/TikTok video of a dude will a full auto Glock. Dude has his Instagram handle on there for those interested in buying one.

so... not ALL of those wish back plates get caught by customs eh?...

Quoted: /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/butWhy-734.gif I figure that, shooting like they usually do, *maybe* the first round lands somewhere in the general vicinity of the target, and the rest go up in the air and randomly impact wherever gravity and the gods take them? View Quote Cause shooting full auto is fun. And I'd bet it's a convenience to use it when doing crimes. Get as much rounds on target as fast as possible. Some criminals really do train with their guns and can control recoil pretty well. The Puerto Rican drive by showed that. |

Quoted: I started to say how useless that would be, but realized it would be perfect for drive-by shootings. View Quote I had a chance to shoot a G17 with a backplate conversion (legally manufactured by an FFL/SOT). Even without a buttstock, it was surprisingly controllable. If I could legally (easily legally) manufacture one, I would. |

How did they figure this out? I've never seen one. Are they recognizable at a glance?

Quoted: I kind of want to get a couple of those wish.com plates, cut the internals off them (so they'll never be able to do full auto), slap them on, and go be a derp at a gun range in front of someone cop-like. See if they will try to make a fuss over something that's completely cosmetic. But I wouldn't put it past local government dipshits to not get that it can't ever do full auto, and I value my anal virginity. View Quote Well you would still go to jail, as I think they defined as a machine gun all by themselves. Unless you cut them with a torch removing 2 ( or was it 3 ) 1/4 wide sections to demil it. At that point it would be a puddle of metal. |

Quoted: That would mean all gun charges Filling out a 4473 would do the same Can you post a link to the case law? View Quote Thats why the question of are you prohibited is on the 4473, if you answer no and are, its a perjury charge. Because you wont get approved as a felon, so no possession charge, just the perjury. @Justcause |

Federal court precedent is that felons are exempted from the NFA laws due to fifth amendment grounds. Why the hell wouldn't you convert it if you're already a felon in possession? There is no legal downside.

Two converted Glocks were recovered in N. AL a few months back.

View Quote Hold it sideways homie gangster style and instead of walking above the target, it sweeps across the target area. Still not aimed fire, but also not a completely stupid way of laying down covering fire. When shooting minute of bungalow from 10 -20 yds it'll be effective enough in a drive by. |

Ive never seen one in person, but tons of vids on the net of them being used in shootings in ghettos. I seriously doubt .gov intercepted more than 20% of the ones imported from China based on how common they seem to be. I suspect the number of them out in the wild and not picked up in traffic stops or being caught on film used in a shooting is huge when they're advertised on Instagram/tik tok by US sellers. https://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2018/11/06/80-drop-in-auto-glock-selector-switch/ |

Quoted: https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2021/12/29/fdle-glock-recovered-in-traffic-stop-had-been-converted-into-fully-automatic-handgun/ Investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement have revealed that a Glock handgun that had been converted into a fully-automatic weapon was among several items recovered by deputies during a traffic stop in Flagler County. According to Flagler County deputies, Benjamin Bowie, 23, was wanted on a warrant out of Georgia for grand theft auto at the time of his arrest in November. When the arresting deputy searched his vehicle, investigators said, they found marijuana along with multiple firearms, magazines and face masks. Records show he was arrested on a felony firearm charge and other misdemeanor charges, but now faces an additional charge of possession of a short barreled firearm. The guns were sent to the FDLE crime lab, where investigators said they determined one of the guns -- a Glock 17 -- was converted into a fully-automatic handgun. ETA: Found the video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gv_nKvxWGU View Quote In a just world, those would be given out for free with every new Glock. |

The ones they sold at the tactical shops on the afghan bases did not have a switch. They were just a piece of metal sticking out what what looked like a pretty standard back plate. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference until you actually took it apart

We started seeing more of these conversions a few years back. It used to be rare to get a converted full auto firearm, but that has changed in my area. Now we are seeing the Chinese auto sears, 3D printed ones, and the modified cover plate conversions. Not fun when they come in on a subcompact 40 or 357 sig Glock.

Quoted: Most of the wish.com ones were seized in their package or recovered by law enforcement. We’re starting to see more and more of the 3D printed switches. View Quote "Most"? I'd bet not. They were being ordered in massive amounts before the aft even realized they were a thing. Even out here in the rural Midwest they're still a thing among some people. The 3d printed stuff and the various jigs have essentially wiped any NFA enforcement out, short of a red handed collar. They'll never get the toothpaste back in the tube. |

The National Firearms Act was amended after Haynes to make it apply only to those who could lawfully possess a firearm. This eliminated prosecution of prohibited persons, such as criminals, and cured the self-incrimination problem. The original Haynes decision continues to block state prosecutions of criminals who fail to register guns as required by various state law gun registration schemes. |

I just looked up the information. He is charged with Possession of a Machine Gun, F2. The "journalist" looked at the docket which says "POSS OF SHORT BARRELLED SHOTGUN OR MACHINE GUN (790.221)." Strong work. As always.
