I would SBR my carbine and put a happy switch. Definitely...

Suppressors would be my main focus of interest, for sure!

I never have understood what those got restricted for in the first place.

If there was no law against owning full autos, no tax, no registration, no forms, nothing not even state laws how many here would convert all or at least most of thier guns back to the originally planed capabilities of the firearm?


I only have one so I'd have to say yes.



However I think I'd probably go for a suppressor first since I'm sure the first full auto conversion kits will be quite costly (supply and demand and all that).

Mine have the stupid sear block, so no.



However, would I buy a drop in auto sear, you're damned right I would! And probably a 9mm upper too boot.

Shorten a couple of barrels and add the three shot happy switch.

Every gun that could take it would have a happy switch, either select fire or full auto, including the M1A.



If you went a step further and got rid of the GCA, I would also shorten some barrels, get more cans, and turn a SxS into a handgun, maybe even an O/U ala Mad Max!

The 1934 NFA act created taxes on full auto, short barrels (orginally all had to be 18''), supressors and defined pistols must be designed with only one grip.

I'd full auto all my AR's and AKs.

Oh hells yeah! I would start building them if 922(o) was repealed for sure!

Most everything would be retro fitted to their original form and function.

Yeah, probably.  



In fact I'd make sure I'd have at least one FA example of each firearm I owned; i.e. one FAL, AK, AR/M16, etc.

They would be full auto with cans. Some would be SBRs. I would also convert my many of my fighting shotguns to SBS.

The one I'm currently building, yes.   The other's I own, probably not.   They're more long range work.   But I would build an SBR supressed.   Probably a sig 556 or ACR so I could fold the stock ––> car gun.

Yep, I would start buying a couple in every caliber I shoot. Can you imagine being able to place an order online from Midway for a couple cans?

My rifles would have the 3 rd burst trigger groups. I'd buy a beltfed for FA.
Link Posted: 9/12/2010 5:00:25 AM EDT

Under those conditions, I'd get the suppressor for my Mk 12 Mod 1 first, and install the FA FCG later.  



But...you need to consider that many states have their own laws which overlap the NFA.  If an MG were to become legal again per federal

laws,  it'd still be illegal per the laws of many states.

I would not convert an AR to a full auto, no....  I would however happily buy guns that were built as auto from the factory.  



I'm not cool with sending a receiver off to have a third hole drilled in it if it did not come that way from the factory.  Plus most have internal dimensional differences besides just the third hole, stuff like wall thickness etc....

Just one. I would leave the others as is. Maybe have a subgun, maybe.

Of course.  



They still retain a semi auto selection.


Link Posted: 9/12/2010 5:13:47 AM EDT

All would have happy-switches, suppressors and would be SBR'd. I would not go full-rock very often because of ammo costs, but I would like the capability.

I would purchase a bag of DIAS, a M240 and a GE M134 minigun receiver



No sense in drilling in my receivers when a $10 piece will work.

Everything I own would be full auto and suppressed ASAP.  

After seeing some of the statements made by the non-MG types I think the question "Who would be against repealing the NFA?" would produce some interesting responses.

I wouldn't have to convert an assault rifle.  It's already fully automatic.  Unless you have already have an NFA certificate for a full auto M-16/AK/ or similar weapon,  NONE of the guns you own now are assault rifles.

If it was just opening of the registry, then I'd only have my SBR's converted.

All 4 of my ARs for sure, maybe buy a 10/22 to convert as well. I would get a threaded barrel for my glock and M&P and a suppressor as well.

Now converting a 10/22 would be a fun gun to have. didn't think of that. Maybe score one of those GSG-5's

I wouldn't convert any of my current ones, but I would gladly buy new!   FA is fun but ammo gets expensive.

Only one of them, and that would only be for HD purposes.

When your entire sport has been wrapped around accuracy, FA seems kinda wierd.

Still, I suppose having one as both a toy and a viable HD system would be OK

If it were magically legal, and with my current stable of ARs, then "some." I have a few low shelf lowers that would take an RDIAS or require less milling. My LMT-made high shelf stuff would probably stay semi.

My reason is convenience, not some perceived ammo savings. FA is expensive, but the selector does have a "semi" setting. ...unless in our make-believe world you live in Connecticut and have a silly "no select fire" law. Even in a full-auto based carbine course, I still fired a bunch of rounds on semi.

Just my ARs and AK, even though I couldn't afford to feed them very often.  They would also get SBR'd.

Sure I'd buy a few full autos I'd also still have semi-autos.

I think a Full auto .22 akin to an american180 would be a must have. Or one of those tippmann mini-1919's. Belt fed .22 machine gun
A full auto saiga 12 would also be a must have.
Something full sized and belt fed. M2 would be awesome but expensive to feed unless we allowed the import of cheap surplus. Then again in this day and age so would most calibers. Maybe a nice M1917
