If either of the rivets go through the 1mm of the receiver that's considered contraband by the ATF. Worth? Worth about 10 years in prison.

strip it out, cut the receiver.



you can re-build it on a legal receiver.

If you mean it does not go from one side of the receiver to the other, it doesnt matter. If there was ever a hole there (the '3rd pin' is for the sear that is necessary for automatic fire) the ATF considers it a machine gun. Once a machine gun, always a machine gun. It doesnt even matter if the hole was welded over, etc.

Edit: only way to make it legal, as rockstar said, is to destroy the receiver. The remaining parts then would be worth a couple hundred at least.

Me neither. I wonder if someone got a little creative with their drill back in the day and tried to undo it..

Is there any reason he couldn't just have the holes tig welded permanently closed.  As long as the dreaded "third pin" hole is no longer a hole I can't see why it would be contraband.

Is there anything I can do that will bring the weapon in to compliance?


All you can do is cut up the receiver and rebuild it on a receiver that doesn't have the hole for the third pin.  There is nothing you can do to that existing receiver that will make it legal to own.

That rifle is worth whatever an Egyptian parts kit goes for.

Nope. Once its there it's a machine gun forever.

Take it apart, torch cut the receiver and get a semi auto receiver from Nodak and call it a day.
