Hope it's not a dupe but I found this while looking at different suppresors. www.ccfa.com/MK19.htm All your's for only $450,000  |
Lets be realistic here. If someone actually dropped half a million dollars on the MK19, they can afford the tax stamp on each and every one of the rounds to go with it. |
Yep. 
|
THe link below the picture says to "order now". So...uh...do you just whip out the old Mastercard?  Gosh, I would order it, but the shipping charges are just outrageous  |
|
Can you imagine how owning/storing that at home that would affect your insurance premiums? "Why yes state farm, I'de like to ensure my $450,000, 40mm, full auto grenade launcher and case of 40mm grenades that I'm keeping at my house..." That'd be a fun conversation...yikes |
Randy Shivak ("Mr. 40mm") was working on one but never completed it. Here's a link to the page where he's selling his partially complete semiauto MK-19. See www.mr40mm.com/page6.html. Incidentally, I want to say that he originally owned the transferrable F/A one..? Mike |
This is ONLY what I heard, I have not verified it in any way.... I was told you have to let the ATF know when and where your going to shoot it and you have to "show" them the detonated round. I don't know if that means you have to send the empty back or what. |

The rounds are DD's. They are sold and registered in quatities. The real problem is that even if you bought it, the manufacturers will not sell you rounds for it. Not even TP rounds. We sell 40mm ammo to agencies around the country and even as a dealer and manufacturer they will not deliver rounds to us. They go straight to the end user that has a EULA on file with them. So it is a half-million dollar paper weight. |
Trust me on this: If anyone has $450k in their spare-change drawer to drop on one of these babies, they've also got an extra coupla hundred thou to develop the friendships/connections/relationships that will allow them to legally shoot it. It might be at someone else's site using someone else's ammo, but it can and will happen. That's the great thing about America: Here, nothing is impossible -- some things just cost more to arrange.
