Hi, I am a combat vet of the Vietnam "experience"(Mekong Delta, 68-69, 9th Inf Div) and although I have a Bushmaster M4(from Wes Vogel)and a few other pieces, I just can't get away from that feeling of missing something in my life....Full Auto. So...I have done some research and this and that but what I really wonder is this. How much does it REALLY cost to get and own a full auto AR15 type weapon here in my native state ?(Thank God for it !) I can build it so I don't need to buy it assembled for $10,000 from someone who is lucky enough to have one. Does the BATF hassle you all the time ? An instructor in Salem told me they do. Do you have to renew a class 3 license every year ? Thanks for any advice. Gary |

Thanks Ziess for the "Thank You" for service. And thanks to both of you, Ziess and Pat for the info. Gives me a few things to think about and I really appreciate hearing this stuff from people who are doing FA(not Field Artillery..). Pat, thanks for the invite too. Can't make that trip but will keep my eyes open for others. Busy time for me right now. Now, if I can just wrangle a BUNCH of money.... I knew about the fine/jailtime and I'm not interested in that for sure ! A guy where I work and I were talking about using the file on the rifle back in the old days but both of us said we don't want the consequences of getting caught. He was a sniper in Nam, me an FO. Anyway, Really appreciate the info. I'll keep reading/looking/thinking... One of these days...I'll figure this out for sure. Take Care and have a great time in Eastern Oregon ! Gary |

first step is to look for a MG. the more you look the more you will learn. I found mine on gunbroker, but also check subguns.com and sturmgewehr.com to start. there are many other places and dealers to look at. but these will get quick results, you can see prices, what the current market is like and some of the nuttiness of what you are about to get into. enjoy
